Thomas Lloyd Owens is interested in applying as collector of customs at the port of Savannah, Georgia. Owens is a Democrat but has the support of the business community. He will apply if it can be assured that President Roosevelt will see his application. Owens’s family was friendly with Roosevelt’s mother, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, and one of his relatives secured the appointment of Roosevelt’s uncle, James Dunwody Bulloch, to the Navy.
