President Roosevelt explains to Edward J. Gavegan that he omitted the word “impeachment” recently, as he thought it would appear that he was showing an improper attitude toward the court system. He asks what Gavegan would suggest he do in the matter involving judge Emile Henry Lacombe, and says that the natural way of proceeding would be to have the Department of Justice look into the matter.
