James Sullivan Clarkson writes favorably of John J. McCook, a strong supporter of the Roosevelt administration. McCook has widespread political and business contacts and Clarkson believes that McCook can be helpful to President Roosevelt. McCook seems to believe that Roosevelt considers him to be a “man of the past” when in reality, “There is no more virile man in capacity in this city than Colonel McCook.”
