Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt makes the point that he never told Representative Hale, Representative Walter Preston Brownlow, “or any human being” that he would do as they suggested, without adding that he would only do so if he believed that it was right. He suggests that Hale take the matter of appointments up with Brownlow to see what they can agree on.
