John Clay Davies apprises President Roosevelt of the contentious and complex circumstances surrounding the Senate race in New York. Davies will travel to the county convention in Rome and attempt to enact Roosevelt’s suggestion, which he deems “an excellent one.” Though Davies tries to stay out of the current political fight, he feels compelled to tell Roosevelt that some of the federal employees in Davies’ county have aligned themselves against Roosevelt’s ideals.
