President Roosevelt tells Representative Wiley that his understanding was that his nominee for District Attorney in Alabama, Erastus J. Parsons, practiced “as much in one district as in the other.” He will take the matter up with Attorney General William H. Moody, but he has already sent in Parsons’s name, and it will be difficult to withdraw it. He asks if Wiley will come see him on Monday.
