Attorney General Bonaparte confirms receipt of a letter from William Loeb expressing President Roosevelt’s views regarding the situation in Idaho. Bonaparte advises that before making a change in district attorneyship or marshalship in Idaho, Roosevelt should find out whether the appointees can be confirmed. If they cannot, Bonaparte recommends waiting until the adjournment of the Senate. Bonaparte suggests conferring with Senator Philander C. Knox to get an unbiased opinion on the subject. Unless they can get a new person confirmed, there will be resistance to the removal of the current office-holder, and the current office-holder will not be useful. Once it becomes apparent that a new appointee could be confirmed, Bonaparte recommends sending Alford Warriner Cooley, or another suitable person, to confer with judges and lawyers to find an appropriate candidate. Bonaparte also comments on a recent conversation he has had with Senator Charles William Fulton. In a postscript, Bonaparte tells Roosevelt about his recent experience presenting a case to the Supreme Court.
