President Roosevelt tells Senator La Follette that while he appreciates La Follette’s feelings regarding the postmastership of Marinette, Wisconsin, the course Roosevelt has decided upon seems to be the most equitable one, and one which will not create a damaging precedent. If Roosevelt were concerned only with La Follette, he would have been pleased to reappoint the man who currently holds the position.
