President Roosevelt tells Herman Henry Kohlsaat that he hears very highly of Samuel L. Williams, but that he will not be able to appoint him because the Illinois Republicans are against him. Instead he will appoint William Tecumseh Vernon as Register of the United States Treasury. He will be glad if there is another position he can give to Williams later.
