President Roosevelt has considered the letters and telegrams written in support of Puerto Rico Governor Post, and reprimands him for the error stemming from Post’s address to a conference of school superintendents. Roosevelt believes that Post sincerely regrets his actions, and will send his nomination to the Governorship of Puerto Rico to the Senate, as his five years of otherwise commendable service as a public official should not be ignored.
