Attorney General Bonaparte has heard from U.S. Attorney John Carter Rose that Stevenson A. Williams voted for Chicago, rather than Kansas City, as the location for the Republican National Convention. Williams told Rose he did so because Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock assured him that President Roosevelt’s administration preferred Chicago. Bonaparte encloses a letter from Williams, which shows that Hitchcock did not claim to be the administration’s representative, but Williams assumed that he was.
