President Roosevelt was unaware that William J. Anderson was from North Dakota and does not support the view that Anderson’s successor should also be from North Dakota. (Anderson, an assistant auditor for the post office department, died suddenly on February 8.) Roosevelt has a “peculiar feeling of warmth for North Dakota” but cannot accede to this request.
