The Office of first assistant secretary
of interior is an important one and it
is almost necessary that the incumbent

When the marshalship contest was at

arisen. the President said he would not
present Haywood's name. This end Il
the matter and Haywoods name was
never formally presented.
The President has high opinion of
Crumpacker and Haywood. and would
be well pleased to appoint Haywood to
