Thomas Henry Carter encloses a telegram he received from E. A. Winstanley, chairman of the Republican Committee for Missoula County, Montana, defending the appointment of D. H. Ross. Winstanley asserts that concerns raised to Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock about Ross are unfounded, confusing D. H. Ross with a different gentleman named Ross.
