President Roosevelt sends Senator Clark a letter related to the rejection of Grosvenor A. Porter as United States Marshal for Oklahoma, which Roosevelt thinks expresses the sentiment of the public. He has heard that under the lead of Senators Joseph Benson Foraker and James A. Hemenway there is talk about similarly rejecting Samuel G. Victor, and Roosevelt asks what charges have been made against him.
