President Roosevelt attempts to calm Oklahoma Governor Frantz, and advises him to act deliberately in gathering affidavits showing what William J. Burns is supposedly charging him with, instead of making wild accusations. When Roosevelt heard from Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock that there were potential charges being levied against Frantz, he felt sure that the charges would not be justified, but advised Hitchcock to nevertheless investigate. Roosevelt assures Frantz that it would require proof of Frantz’s supposed misdeeds for Roosevelt to believe that he was guilty, and says that he will not help his case by acting rashly.
