United States Marshal Johnson writes to William Loeb regarding an enclosed letter from former Republican National Administration member S. A. Darnell. Johnson shares his thoughts about weaknesses in Georgia’s Republican Party, political corruption, political endorsements, and appointments of federal officials. Johnson then focuses attention on Darnell, who he suggests harbors negative feelings toward the District Attorney and Internal Revenue Department officers since they prosecuted his son for a work-related violation. Johnson also discusses Darnell’s failure to be re-elected to the Republican National Administration and his attempts to be appointed to a position.
