The press has publicized President Roosevelt’s consideration of Charles P. McClelland’s appointment to the Board of United States General Appraisers. This has caused consternation for McClelland, as he has had to resign from the New York State Senate in response to the reports. Senator Platt asks Roosevelt to make his intention to appoint McClelland public at once, if possible.
