Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Francis J. Heney

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Francis J. Heney

President Roosevelt, Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock, and Senator Philander C. Knox all feel that Francis J. Heney should have sent his telegram about District Attorney William C. Bristol to Attorney General William H. Moody. Knox believes that the Senate would reject any renomination of Bristol on the grounds that his letter explaining his conduct is unsatisfactory. They will probably send the evidence against Bristol to the Oregon Bar Association. Roosevelt does not feel that under the circumstances, Bristol can be retained.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Reese Blizzard

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Reese Blizzard

President Roosevelt has submitted United States District Attorney Blizzard’s name for reappointment, but would like assurance on two things. First, he wants Blizzard’s personal word that since Attorney General William H. Moody has communicated with him, he has not, and will not in the future, directly or indirectly take part in any legislative action for or against bills involving corporate interests. Second, as U.S. District Attorney, Blizzard should not take any direct or indirect part in any private suits connected with “any labor difficulty of any kind” that involves corporations or private individuals.
