Letter from John Ireland to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John Ireland to Theodore Roosevelt

Archbishop Ireland requests that President Roosevelt not appoint a collector of the port of St. Louis, Missouri, until Ireland can meet with him. Ireland believes that Mr. Smith would be an excellent office holder and the individuals that oppose Smith are in reality opposing the leadership of Richard C. Kerens. Kerens has done a great deal for the Republicans of Missouri and is loyal to Roosevelt. Losing the appointment of Smith would politically destroy Kerens.
