Letter from F. Norton Goddard to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from F. Norton Goddard to Theodore Roosevelt

F. Norton Goddard received William Loeb’s telegram advising Goddard that President Roosevelt would like Goddard to go see Frank Wayland Higgins. Higgins is in favor of the appointment of Marcus M. Marks as Postmaster of New York, but does not want to openly recommend him for fear of displeasing Benjamin B. Odell. There is some hesitation among Republicans to nominate Marks due to his being Jewish. Goddard asks for the intervention of Roosevelt into this matter by entering into the conversation via telegram, and discusses the possible involvement of Jacob H. Schiff and Thomas Collier Platt as well. He believes the appointment of Marks would be politically beneficial to the Republican Party.
