William Allen White requests more time to secure the appointment for Cyrus Leland. If the position goes to someone else, it will be viewed as a personal victory for Senator Joseph Ralph Burton and will increase partisan politics in Kansas. The many veterans of the state will also be angered if a Civil War veteran is not appointed.
