President Roosevelt remarks that he has been able to get the Cabinet appointments he has wanted. He now has to give another appointment in Ohio of James Rudolph Garfield. He did not write Senator Foraker earlier because the announcement was made earlier than expected. He is not sure whether he is more pleased by the gubernatorial election of Frank Robert Gooding in Idaho or Charles Evans Hughes in New York.
