Letter from Alice Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Alice Lee to Theodore Roosevelt

While Alice Lee understands the position that President Roosevelt is in, she feels that Russell C. Allen should be named Collector of the Port of San Diego. The man the Senators support, Martin Luther Ward, is a “machine man” who was responsible for ousting Senator Thomas Robert Bard and installing Frank P. Flint. The Collector has been merely a political figurehead for many years, and Lee believes that Roosevelt could change that by nominating Allen, a young man who is eager to work hard.
