President Roosevelt informs Governor Kibbey that William Spencer Sturges was not present at the last Republican National Committee meeting. Instead, he sent a proxy to Senator Charles Dick, who, along with Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, continues to attack the administration. Roosevelt wants Sturges to explain his position before accepting his recommendations. He asks what Kibbey thinks of William F. Nichols, Secretary of Arizona Territory.
