President Roosevelt reminds Nathaniel M. Richardson that he is only part of the appointing power, and that while he can nominate people to offices, they must be confirmed by the Senate. Even though Roosevelt believes that Fred Slocum should be reappointed as postmaster at Caro, Michigan, he was told by several senators that they would not confirm the appointment and Roosevelt had to withdraw his nomination.
