Chief of the United States Secret Service John E. Wilkie advises William Loeb that there does not seem to be “any danger to either the President or Secretary Taft from any of the anarchist societies.” The “radical branch” of the Western Federation of Miners must know that any attempt on the life of the president would harm the organization. Wilkie urges that the informant whose charges came to Loeb’s attention be more specific so that the charges can be investigated.
