My dear Senator:
file
I read your telegram of February eleventh from Reno, Nevada
with a great deal of interest and this is the first time in my experience,
and I was ten years in the Senate, that I ever heard of a Senator trying to
discredit his own Government before the world. You know that isn't done
by honest public officials. Your telegram is not only not true and an
insolent approach to a situation that should have been worked out between
man and man but it shows conclusively that you are not even fit to have a
hand in the operation of the Government of the United States.
I am very sure that the people of Wisconsin are extremely sorry
that they are represented by a person who has as little sense of responsibility
as you have.
Sincerely yours,
[HST]
