Attorney General Bonaparte tells President Roosevelt about a recent conversation he had with Secretary of War William H. Taft, who mentioned Wade H. Ellis as a possible replacement for Milton Dwight Purdy. Bonaparte thinks he can replace Frank B. Kellogg if necessary, although he will be sorry to lose him, but does not want the department to stand in the way of Taft’s campaign.
