Union League Club resolution
The Union League Club of New York asks its members to support legislation that will “prevent and punish assaults upon the President and other Federal officers” as well as foreign officials. This legislation will prohibit anarchists from entering the country and being naturalized. The members of the club agree to support anything in public or private that supports these ends because there have been three murderous assaults against presidents in their lifetimes.

Letter from James Harrison Wilson to Theodore Roosevelt
James Harrison Wilson recommends the appointment of Robert Houston as collector of the port in Wilmington, Delaware. He believes the appointment of Caleb Churchman would be a mistake as Churchman is not viewed as a leader in the community and his appointment would be seen as an act of “Addicksism.” Wilson argues in favor of balancing the distribution of federal appointments throughout the state as a means to temper the influence of John Edward Addicks.

Senator Lodge expresses his concern for President Roosevelt’s well being and his confidence in Roosevelt’s abilities in the “greatest office man can now hold on Earth” in the wake of William McKinley’s assassination.
