Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary informs Mabel Ciscle that Roosevelt has made it his policy since leaving the White House not to advocate on anyone’s behalf with regard to obtaining employment or promotions. If Roosevelt were to make an exception in this case, “common fairness” would require him to do so in all cases, and he would soon be overwhelmed by such requests.
