Curtis Guild encloses a letter from Colonel Carlo A. Woodruff where Woodruff complains that he cannot be promoted because he has no political influence. Guild suggests that President Roosevelt or Secretary of War Root publicly address the widespread, but false, belief that politics are the only grounds for promotion in the military. Guild will be sending Roosevelt some material regarding reciprocity.
