Commissioner of Corporations Garfield informs President Roosevelt that the report on oil will be finished soon but not to publish it before consulting with Attorney General William H. Moody to ensure that pending charges are not disrupted by publication of the report. Garfield finds it interesting that some claim foreign trade is being hurt by these charges but that the oil and beef industries are profiting from violating federal law. Garfield is monitoring a fascinating local election which Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio is leading. Some in the election are pushing for an open convention.
