President Roosevelt agrees with Senator Long’s position on the Hepburn-Dolliver bill regarding railroad rates. He believes that C. L.

President Roosevelt has concluded that it is not appropriate to appoint Mr. Allen in the Indian Territory as he does not have the experience to make him fit for service. He has appointed Edward W. C. Humphrey because he is the best man from the standpoint of the Native Americans. The next year and a half will be “critical” for the Native Americans, and Roosevelt wants to consider their interests.
