Civil Service Commissioner Cooley informs President Roosevelt that he has prepared a letter about the administration of the Civil Service under Roosevelt. His research indicates that there have been fewer exemptions under Roosevelt than under previous administrations. He is traveling abroad, but he will be back in the United States the following Thursday or Friday and will draft a final version of his letter in response to Judge Alton B. Parker’s Democratic nomination letter.
