Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frank C. Frantz
President Roosevelt laments Governor Frantz’s defeat but notes that he made a gallant fight. Roosevelt wants to appoint a Choctaw man named Samuel Downing to succeed George K. Prichard as US Marshal for the central judicial district of Indian Territory. Roosevelt had to remove another man, a Chickasaw named Benjamin H. Colbert, so he would like to appoint another Native American.
