Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles J. Bonaparte writes to President Roosevelt about his efforts to secure a candidate for Postmaster of Baltimore. He has spoken with Blanchard Randall, Walter B. Brooks, and Miles White, all of whom declined the appointment. W. Hall Harris, however, has asked to speak with the President, and is likely to be the nominee. Bonaparte predicts what public opinion might be about Harris.

A startling [rumor] about postmastership

A startling [rumor] about postmastership

This newspaper article discusses the rumor surrounding President Roosevelt’s appointment of the Baltimore, Maryland, postmaster. It is believed that the Maryland delegation have not agreed on a recommendation, and that Roosevelt intends to make his own choice if they cannot come to an agreement. If so, the rumor suggests that Roosevelt might appoint a nonpartisan Democrat. Another article, which discusses Maryland Senator Louis E. McComas’s next position, follows. It suggests that McComas will replace Chief Justice Charles C. Nott of the Court of Claims after McComas’s term in the Senate expires because Senator Francis Marion Cockrell of Missouri chose a position on the Interstate Commerce Commission.
