Secretary of the Treasury Shaw will try to support the Republican campaign in Colorado and Texas as President Roosevelt requests, but Representative J. S. Sherman, chair of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, has made appointments which may interfere with Shaw’s being able to go. Regarding the appointment of a new diamond appraiser at the Port of New York, Shaw recommends that Roosevelt use an Executive Order to make an appointment, as the Civil Service examination will not produce a suitable candidate. Shaw had a successful campaign trip to North Carolina.
