Henry Francis Ashion, acting Foreman of Binding, responds to accusations that his Democratic partisanship has led him to manufacture material with which to attack the administration of President Roosevelt. Ashion says his “so-called partisanship” has never blinded his eyes to what he honestly believes to be for the good of the country, and he feels Roosevelt’s wishes emanate from a determination to strive for the betterment of the people.
