Governor Cummins has heard that there will be a concerted effort to secure President Roosevelt’s endorsement in the re-election campaign of Senator William B. Allison, against whom Cummins is running. Cummins attaches an article from The Des Moines Capital falsely quoting Roosevelt saying as much and asks that Roosevelt send a letter affirming his neutrality in the campaign.
