President Roosevelt, Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock, and Senator Philander C. Knox all feel that Francis J. Heney should have sent his telegram about District Attorney William C. Bristol to Attorney General William H. Moody. Knox believes that the Senate would reject any renomination of Bristol on the grounds that his letter explaining his conduct is unsatisfactory. They will probably send the evidence against Bristol to the Oregon Bar Association. Roosevelt does not feel that under the circumstances, Bristol can be retained.
