WHITE HOUSE,
WASHINGTON
July 2, 1902.
Personal.
My dear Secretary Hit chcock:
Interviews that I am sure are fakedhave appeared in
which you are represented as stating that Mr . Newlands
was entitled to the credit of passing the irrigation
measure. Now, as a matter of fact, I never consulted
with him or said a thing to him about my message, although
Memant
I did consult Senators Spooner and Warren and Congressmen
Mondell, Long, and Burkett. If the interviews are not
true, I should think that a brief statement from you to
that effect might be good, as Newlands is evidently try-
ing to use your interviews as a campaign document.
Sincerely yours,
Theodore
Hon. E. A. Hitchcock,
secretary of the Interior.
