President Roosevelt feels William Allen White “missed the point in the matter.” Roosevelt is more concerned about the qualifications of the candidates for pension agent in Topeka than he is about Senator Joseph Ralph Burton’s reaction to his decision. Roosevelt asks White to solicit private opinions of Eugene F. Ware and Cyrus Leland, the two candidates he is considering.
