Charles J. Bonaparte writes about possible nominees for postmaster in Baltimore. William F. Stone, Representative Wachter, and Senator McComas continue to disagree about the leading candidate. Factions within the Republican Party in the state are arguing. Bonaparte believes some public officials and some newspapers have been discredited in recent years for failing to speak out against elections fraud and political corruption. There is also disagreement within the National Civil Service Reform League. Some members wished to make an anti-imperialist statement by not arranging a visit to the White House during an upcoming meeting.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte updates President Roosevelt on the political and electoral situation in Maryland, where he believes that William H. Taft will win by a slim majority. In some districts and counties, the Congressional candidates may outperform Taft, while in others, the reverse may be true. Of particular concern is the possibility that illiterate African Americans may inadvertently spoil ballots which have deliberately been made confusing.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte has given William F. Stone some “fatherly” advice about supporting Robert Garrett’s candidacy in Maryland. Bonaparte believes that ordinarily, Stone would support Garrett, but he looks at things with a politician’s narrow view. Regarding “the St. Louis matter,” a telegram from Henry W. Blodgett suggests that it is too close to the election to arrest Robinson without accusations that they are abusing the law for political purposes.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte has heard from U.S. Attorney John Carter Rose that Stevenson A. Williams voted for Chicago, rather than Kansas City, as the location for the Republican National Convention. Williams told Rose he did so because Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock assured him that President Roosevelt’s administration preferred Chicago. Bonaparte encloses a letter from Williams, which shows that Hitchcock did not claim to be the administration’s representative, but Williams assumed that he was.
