President Roosevelt asks Senator Burrows if he agrees that Arthur C. Denison, a judge in Michigan, would be a good candidate for the position. Roosevelt believes he cannot provide endorsements for judgeships as freely as he can with other appointments, as the “man best fitted” should have the position regardless of political backing.
