Secretary of War Taft encloses to President Roosevelt a letter from Minister to Panama Charles E. Magoon. Taft believes that it would be a “good stroke” to appoint Colonel William Crawford Gorgas Governor of the Panama Canal Zone. He also believes William Franklin Sands will make a good Minister, but it is fine to delay action until September. Taft notifies Roosevelt that he is preparing a speech, which he will deliver to the Republican State Committee of Maine after making any changes Roosevelt feels are necessary to best represent the administration and the party. Taft believes that the party is taking the correct stance in regard to trade unions. Although trade unions are to be given all possible liberty under the law to carry out the organization’s legitimate purposes, they are not to be put in the privileged class.
