President Roosevelt saw Senator Frank P. Flint, who has been very helpful, after receiving Governor Gillett’s message. On Flint’s advice, Roosevelt sent a telegram to Speaker Philip A. Stanton of the California State Assembly that Stanton may publish. Roosevelt asks Gillett to see Stanton. He approves of Gillet’s course of action, and will happily offer additional assistance if Gillett thinks he could be useful.
