Theodore Roosevelt found the March 10 issue of George Bird Grinnell’s Forest and Stream being circulated by the men from the lumber and cold storage lobby who are trying to defeat Roosevelt’s nominee for the Forest, Fish, and Game Commission. Roosevelt’s nominations for the Commission all had political backing, and he is facing challenges in getting them confirmed. Roosevelt chose the men he did because his “business was to improve the Commission.”
