Postmaster General Meyer reports to Secretary of War Taft that Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock has expressed his loyalty to President Roosevelt, assuring Meyer that he will act as Roosevelt instructs. Meyer comments, regarding a nomination to the postmastership of Spencerville, Ohio, that he has directed Hitchcock to seek input from Arthur I. Vorys. Hitchcock believes that Vorys is ill disposed toward him because he had been mentioned in the press “as a probable Taft manager.” Meyer is writing to Roosevelt, as well, and will urge him to talk to Hitchcock himself.
