Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Allen White

President Roosevelt feels William Allen White “missed the point in the matter.” Roosevelt is more concerned about the qualifications of the candidates for pension agent in Topeka than he is about Senator Joseph Ralph Burton’s reaction to his decision. Roosevelt asks White to solicit private opinions of Eugene F. Ware and Cyrus Leland, the two candidates he is considering.

Letter from William Allen White to Theodore Roosevelt

William Allen White is concerned about allegations in the Kansas City Journal that Joseph L. Bristow’s actions in the investigation of Senator Joseph Ralph Burton were politically motivated, in order that Bristow might obtain Burton’s seat in the Senate. White suggests that either Attorney General Philander C. Knox or Postmaster General Henry C. Payne issue a statement that Bristow was “an inferior obeying explicit orders from a superior” in the investigation, and that he did not “prompt the proceedings” against Burton. The allegations have already begun to shift public opinion, so White thinks that it is urgent to remove any taint from Bristow’s name.
