President Roosevelt received the articles William Dudley Foulke sent him and says the statements made by Louis Ludlow are false. Roosevelt comments on his nomination of Samuel G. Victor for the position of marshal in Oklahoma following Senate’s failure to confirm Grosvenor A. Porter. Victor has been strongly recommended to Roosevelt, who has heard that his frequent opponents Senators Joseph Benson Foraker and James A. Hemenway, his frequent opponents, are trying to delay Victor’s nomination. Roosevelt does not know of any charges that would be a discredit to Victor.
