President Roosevelt explains to Oregon Governor Chamberlain why William C. Bristol will not be renominated as Attorney General in Oregon, and he encloses copies of communications about the matter. Bristol has not pursued the land fraud suits that he was specifically hired to handle, and he has stopped answering communications from the Department of Justice.
