Letter from Joseph H. Harris to Theodore Roosevelt
Kansas City Postmaster Joseph H. Harris apologizes to President Roosevelt for a statement that appeared in the Kansas City Journal that he strongly denies making. He encloses his public denial that was printed in the Journal. Harris says that Harvey Fleming, manager of the Journal, could not give his authority for the statement, but supported his statement by saying that the “president had meddled in seven other such cases.” The statement related to Senate contests.
