President Roosevelt responds to concerns expressed to Seth Low about candidates for a judgeship. Roosevelt is considering three Republicans for the position. Regarding at least one of the candidates, if the man who wrote Low were a Democrat, Roosevelt says he would be “whooping with ecstasy over his manifest virtues.” Roosevelt only consulted Booker T. Washington in Alabama when he was appointing a Democrat to a judgeship.
