Letter from E. Mont Reily to William Loeb

Letter from E. Mont Reily to William Loeb

E. Mont Reily disagrees with Joseph E. Black’s candidacy for Internal Revenue Collector for the Western District of Missouri, at Kansas City.

Letter from Thomas J. Akins to William Loeb

Letter from Thomas J. Akins to William Loeb

Thomas J. Akins sends William Loeb two clippings that indicate Joseph E. Black will be seeking appointment as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Western District of Missouri. Although Akins has taken little interest in appointments in the past because Senator William Warner has shown “great wisdom,” Akins wishes in this instance to express his opposition to Black’s appointment because Black opposed President Roosevelt’s nomination at the 1902 State Convention. Black was said to have distributed the Hanna badges and buttons and to have “talked very ugly about the President,” and Black’s nomination would revive feuds in Missouri. Akins wants to advise Roosevelt that Black’s appointment would be a “great mistake.”

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Nelson W. Aldrich

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William D. Miles

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William D. Miles

President Roosevelt tells William D. Miles that he will try again to find him a government position, but he reminds Miles that he never said he would not allow him to suffer because of his testimony. Roosevelt has already taken up the matter with the Department of Agriculture, but government positions pay less than jobs in private enterprises, so he may not be able to find something that Miles will take.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

President Roosevelt agrees with Attorney General Bonaparte, and says that they should appoint Milton Dwight Purdy at once. Roosevelt does not want to be dictated to by Senator Knute Nelson as to who he is able to appoint. He is unsure about the wisdom of putting another Tennessee Democrat in the administration when there are already several people from the area in the administration. Roosevelt asks Bonaparte’s opinions about several people.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Francis E. Warren

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Francis E. Warren

President Roosevelt tells Senator Warren that he agrees with the bill that Warren sent as representative of the views of Senators Henry Cabot Lodge and William Warner. Roosevelt also criticizes a bill from Senator Joseph Benson Foraker that would permit the companies who were discharged as a result of the Brownsville incident to, upon swearing an oath of innocence, rejoin the army. Roosevelt believes that many people from these companies either committed the attack or had knowledge of it, and that this bill therefore “amounts simply to a proposal to condone murder and perjury in the past and put a premium upon perjury in the future.”

Letter from Albert J. Beveridge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Albert J. Beveridge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Beveridge writes to follow up on an earlier conversation with President Roosevelt about the constitutionality of the Child Labor Bill. The jurisprudence is unambiguous in demonstrating that Congress may regulate all matters relating to interstate commerce. Beveridge also notes that many initiatives by the states to solve this issue have been ineffective, citing several examples. He has also seen the popular sentiment stirred up by the long campaign against child labor, and believes this bill is an example of good governance.
