Cornelius Newton Bliss writes to President Roosevelt about the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee. Bliss is honored to be considered and wants to be of help to the President and the Party, but he wonders if someone else might be better suited to the task. He will make a decision in a few days, and he hopes that in the meantime, if someone else is proposed who has the qualifications, he will be seriously considered.
