Letter from Thomas J. Akins to William Loeb

Thomas J. Akins sends William Loeb two clippings that indicate Joseph E. Black will be seeking appointment as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Western District of Missouri. Although Akins has taken little interest in appointments in the past because Senator William Warner has shown “great wisdom,” Akins wishes in this instance to express his opposition to Black’s appointment because Black opposed President Roosevelt’s nomination at the 1902 State Convention. Black was said to have distributed the Hanna badges and buttons and to have “talked very ugly about the President,” and Black’s nomination would revive feuds in Missouri. Akins wants to advise Roosevelt that Black’s appointment would be a “great mistake.”
