President Roosevelt laments to Attorney General Moody that the Yale class of 1878 “has the call” for District Attorney. No Rough Riders are available and “every individual in the Southern District of the Indian Territory . . . appears to be either under indictment, convicted, or in a position that renders it imperatively necessary that he should be indicted.” As such, George Richard Walker, who attended Yale with Secretary of War William H. Taft, should be nominated.
