President Roosevelt does not believe he can appoint John Thomas McDonough to the position Thomas M. Mulry inquired about. Roosevelt regards McDonough highly, and previously appointed him to the Supreme Court of the Philippines, but McDonough resigned that position. When the president appoints a person to a position, Roosevelt, writes, but “the man resigns the appointment or thinks it is not quite up to his deserts, it becomes trebly hard to help him thereafter.”
