Letter from Joseph Gurney Cannon to Leslie M. Shaw

Letter from Joseph Gurney Cannon to Leslie M. Shaw

Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon informs Secretary of the Treasury Shaw that he has no designs on running for President and has discouraged those promoting his candidacy; his focus is solely on the upcoming midterm elections. Cannon recounts a conversation with men from the Manufacturers of Agricultural Implements League in which he urged them not to believe the promises of the Democratic Party with regard to tariff revision. He hopes that President Roosevelt’s letter on the matter, which is due for imminent release, will help to sway their opinions.

Letter from Stanley Wellington Finch to John William Griggs

Letter from Stanley Wellington Finch to John William Griggs

Examiner Finch reports to Attorney General Griggs on charges made by former Deputy Marshal Samuel C. Samuels against United States Marshal for Alabama Leander J. Bryan and his deputies. Finch finds that on a prisoner transport, Ernest H. E. Warren used reduced rail fares instead of first class and pocketed the extra money. When Samuels reported the fraud, he was dismissed and replaced by a Deputy Marshal who was complicit in the fraud. Finch also finds that over $600 had been deposited in the accounts of Ernest H. E. Warren’s real estate firm, Warren & Stuart. Warren was the Marshal’s son-in-law. Finch recommends the immediate dismissal of the Marshal and the Deputy Marshals who participated in the fraud.
