President Roosevelt was thrilled by Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock’s telegram. While he is disappointed Winston Churchill was not nominated, he counts the narrow loss as a victory of “moral effect.” He has been reviewing the documents regarding the charges against Governor of Oklahoma Territory Frank C. Frantz and comments on the case’s various aspects.
