President Roosevelt discusses a variety of judicial appointments with Senator Foraker, who has recently sent a petition to appoint Judge Adams. Roosevelt reports that Senator Charles Dick and Secretary of War William H. Taft presented him with half a dozen candidates and that he will need a few days to give a sure answer.
