Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt appreciated C. P. Connolly’s letter about his article. He agrees that it is ridiculous to condemn an entire class of people based on the misdeeds of a few. He cites examples of his working with people from various backgrounds as an assemblyman in New York. As Civil Service Commissioner, he equally supports Catholics and Protestants.
