John A. Sleicher asks President Roosevelt for “one or two good, stirring sentences” that he could use in conjunction with a cartoon he is creating for the magazine Judge to help the Republican ticket in Pennsylvania. In addition, Sleicher is glad Roosevelt has come out for Herbert Parsons, who will need all the help he can get. Sleicher also suggests that the Secretary of the Treasury make his examination of national banks as carefully and as conservatively as possible in order to give a feeling to the people of greater security in the national banking system.
