Arthur I. Vorys includes information from Judge Henry A. Melvin in Alameda County, California about the appointment of Charles E. Thomas as postmaster of Berkeley as well as the impact the appointment could have on the candidacy of Secretary of War William H. Taft. Melvin believes that President Roosevelt should not appoint someone else as postmaster because it would be a “serious blow” to major political leaders there.
