Theodore Roosevelt has been informed that “certain office-holders” in Postmaster General George von Lengerke Meyer’s department intend to go to the Republican National Convention as delegates to express their support for Roosevelt’s renomination. Roosevelt tells Meyer that “this cannot be” and asks him to inform the officers that any advocacy or positions in favor of Roosevelt will be “regarded as a serious violation of official propriety.”
