Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Allison

President Roosevelt seeks to clarify to Judge Allison the details of their recent conversation, specifically noting that he promised to consider Allison for a seat on the Interstate Commerce Commission if Judge Judson C. Clements was not reappointed. He writes that after investigation, he feels Clements should be given the job,. Roosevelt apologizes, but states that it would be unlikely for Allison to be given a position on the commission due to the fact that he is from the same region as Clements.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William J. Northen

President Roosevelt believes that former Georgia Governor Northen has been misled in his assessment of interstate commerce law regarding segregation. Had Northen read the Interstate Commerce Commission’s opinion and read the law, he would understand that he should address his queries to someone “whose duty it was to take the initiative” in appealing to the state commission. Roosevelt notes that the courts back up the law in this case. Roosevelt also notes that Judson C. Clements, a Georgian, is on the Interstate Commerce Commission and he is “simply endeavoring to stand behind the good men of the South” and that it is “foolish” for southerners to protest against the government taking notice of non-obedience of a federal statute.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to S. H. Cowan

President Roosevelt thought S. H. Cowan’s letter was “mighty frank and manly,” and remarks on his high opinion of Cowan. Cowan’s praise of Judson C. Clements impressed him, but Roosevelt will need to consider if he believes that Clements will do better than Cowan would on the Interstate Commerce Commission. Roosevelt thinks that even if he does not appoint Cowan to the commission, he may wish for him to act as special counsel.

Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

Letter from S. H. Cowan to Theodore Roosevelt

S. H. Cowan believes that President Roosevelt should reappoint Judson Clements to the Interstate Commerce Commission. If in the unlikely event that a position on the Commission were to become open Cowan would, of course serve, but he would not like to replace any of the Democrats already serving.
