Letter from H. S. Jeffery to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from H. S. Jeffery to Theodore Roosevelt

H. S. Jeffery appreciates Theodore Roosevelt’s letter, and explains his grievances with President William H. Taft, who Jeffery feels has ignored the concerns of labor and has selected boiler inspectors who are unsuited to the position. Jeffery had hoped for Taft’s success, but after such missteps he will work against Taft’s election if he is once again nominated by the Republican party as its presidential candidate.

Letter from H. S. Jeffery to William H. Taft

H. S. Jeffery has applied to be Chief Inspector and received recommendations from congressmen and professional societies. It appears that Mr. Deans, a prominent railroad official, received the applications from the Interstate Commerce Commission and decided that Jeffery is not a suitable candidate due to his support of the Locomotive Boiler Inspection Bill. Jeffery believes that he has been wronged and requests that President Taft take up the matter.
