Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from George Curry to Theodore Roosevelt

Governor Curry of New Mexico, following up on President Roosevelt’s letter, has expressed to the manager of the Santa Fe Water & Light Company that attempts at blackmail against the company will be prosecuted. Richard H. Hanna’s information about district court clerk William E. Martin is true, but the Department of Justice did not object to his appointment. Mariano Senna’s appointment as deputy clerk was a mistake, however, and he has been removed. Curry will personally fight any wrongdoing in the Territory of New Mexico, and the strife will not last.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Robert Procter

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Robert Procter

President Roosevelt wants it understood that positions in the White House, such as telegrapher and clerk, must be treated as special due to the confidential nature of the work. Great damage can be done by men in these positions, such as the recent unauthorized publication of War Department documents. Roosevelt is also distressed by the civil service reformers and their support for Mrs. Taylor’s suit. The suit is making it difficult to remove “recalcitrant clerks” and Roosevelt fears that this is damaging public service.

Letter from Alford Warriner Cooley to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Alford Warriner Cooley to Theodore Roosevelt

Civil Service Commissioner Cooley is concerned by congressional interference in President Roosevelt’s order of March 11, 1905, which regulated promotions of executive branch laborers to clerk status. Pursuant to the Agricultural Appropriations Act of 1905, the Department of Agriculture assigned laborers to classified work without “examination and certification,” thereby giving these employees an advantage over employees of other departments. Cooley suggests that none of these employees be promoted in the current fiscal year.
