Frank B. Kellogg of the Republican National Committee sends President Roosevelt a copy of his letter to Treasurer of the Republican National Committee George Rumsey Sheldon. Kellogg has raised the issue of contributions from trusts with Sheldon, as have William H. Taft and and William Loeb, but Sheldon continues his behavior. If John D. Archbold spoke out about the solicitation, it would cause problems for the campaign. Kellogg has already told this to the Executive Committee, and now writes to Roosevelt with all the facts.
