President Roosevelt tells Freeman L. Dustman, editor of the Toledo Blade, that he wished to appoint Howard D. Manington, but was informed by Senators Charles Dick and Joseph Benson Foraker that they would not support the appointment. Roosevelt has been puzzled about how to proceed, as he does not like to fight with senators, unless he has a clear principle he is fighting for. He appreciates the support he has received from Dustman and his newspaper, and invites him to visit Washington, D.C., sometime in the upcoming winter so that they can speak in person.
