President Roosevelt informs Senator Beveridge that he has spoken with Representative Jesse Overstreet to inform him that Leopold G. Rothschild will be named Surveyor of Customs in Indianapolis. Overstreet is disappointed with the decision, because ordinarily he would have the right to choose the appointee to that position. Roosevelt hopes that in the future they can find a way to give Overstreet some recognition. Roosevelt will send Rothschild’s name in for approval when there is just enough time for him to be confirmed before February 15.
