Lucius B. Swift reports to William Dudley Foulke about some of the preliminary results of the National Civil Service Reform League’s investigation into charges that William H. Taft or President Theodore Roosevelt improperly appointed people to civil service positions in order to nominate Taft as the Republican candidate for president. There has been no evidence found connecting Taft or Roosevelt to such a scheme, and Swift says that he agrees with Roosevelt’s sentiment that the office holders simply felt what was a broader popular sentiment in favor of Taft. Roosevelt’s efforts to remove the classified service from politics, in fact, have been very successful.

Swift does not believe that it would do any good for him to dignify Delavan Smith and others like him by signing his name to a statement denouncing him. Swift tells William Dudley Foulke that it would be better if the matters could be dealt with before the public and notes that the Panama allegations may be dealt with by Congress. Roosevelt’s vindication came from the great electoral victory, which was a landslide in everywhere except Ohio and Indiana.
