President Roosevelt responds to Commissioner of Indian Affairs Leupp’s letter concerning the investigation of the Governor of Oklahoma, Frank C. Frantz. Investigators questioned men concerning Frantz and his brother, however it is unclear if the statements are true, or merely gossip. Roosevelt believes the situation reflects poorly on the character of the Governor and ex-Governor of Oklahoma.
