President Roosevelt acknowledges receipt of William Dudley Foulke’s letter and does not have anything to add to it. Roosevelt announces the classification of all fourth class post offices in Eastern and North Central states, as he thinks it would be good to get it done as soon as possible. He also returns a letter regarding Delevan Smith, and asks that Foulke wait to publish it until after his message goes to Congress.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Dudley Foulke

President Roosevelt praises William Dudley Foulke and Lucius B. Swift, and says that he does not have any objection to an investigation of whether he has influenced local civil service appointments, so long as the investigation is conducted honestly. He suggests that whoever does the investigation cooperate with the Department of Justice, as Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte is familiar with the topic. Roosevelt also suggests several departments where it may be profitable to begin such an investigation.

Letter from William Dudley Foulke to Theodore Roosevelt

William Dudley Foulke writes to President Roosevelt about accusations that Roosevelt is manipulating patronage in favor of Secretary of War William H. Taft’s candidacy. Foulke presented a statement from Roosevelt to the executive committee of the Indiana Civil Service Reform Association and offered an investigation of the matter, but the critics of Roosevelt did not want that, and instead demanded a blanket statement against official interference. Foulke sends Roosevelt a copy of a statement he gave to the Indianapolis News for his own information.
