This report explains that Postmaster General Payne did not name a post office after James Kimble Vardaman because Vardaman published an article which contained indecent statements about President Roosevelt’s mother. The report includes a statement from Payne, an excerpt of the offending passage, an affidavit affirming that the language in the article is identical with that quoted by the Crits Club, and Vardaman’s reply when questioned about Payne’s assertion.
