Hammond, John Henry, 1871-1949

President Roosevelt argues that he does not favor Catholics any more than he favors Protestants, and tries to treat every person alike in public office as he does in his personal life. The United States will last for many centuries, and he hopes that Catholics elected president in the future will appreciate his actions. He supported the nomination of General Philip Henry Sheridan, a Catholic, for president in 1884. Roosevelt would like Eugene A. Philbin to read a letter written by John Henry Hammond about Roosevelt’s removal of Asa Bird Gardiner.

New York Press editor Wardman informs William Loeb that John Henry Hammond’s letter in the Tribune was published the previous Saturday, so he does not want to get involved with the issue at this point. He does not think the American people need arguments to be convinced that “Mr. Roosevelt, either as Governor or President, has not been violating any constitutions.”
