Governor Brodie of Arizona reports to William Loeb the actions he has taken related to foundling children at Morenci and Clifton. He decided that given the impending election it would be best to delay any action for a couple days and set out a plan for the Catholic society to follow if they want to take possession of the children. Brodie feels that “it was a very nasty case from the beginning,” and suspects that the press was trying to mislead President Roosevelt and the public.
