President Roosevelt spoke with Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Labor William R. Wheeler about Russell C. Allen, who Alice Lee wants Roosevelt to name Collector of the Port of San Diego. While Wheeler agrees that Allen is a good man, both he and Roosevelt think it would be a fight to get him nominated. Roosevelt comments that while Lee believes that Southern Californians are angry with Senator Frank P. Flint for ousting Thomas Robert Bard, Flint has been a much better ally and supporter of Roosevelt’s fights than Bard was.
