Bryson postmaster case shows President's and Foraker clash
Senator Foraker debated with Postmaster General Meyer over Bryson's Athens post. Meyer recounted that the President had directed Bryson's nomination after finding corruption charges unfounded, insisting he supported free expression of political views. Bryson's letter to Douglas argued he acted to defend public service merit and independence from partisan pressure, while Douglas read correspondence linking the President to the appointment and defended the President's fairness and broad-minded patronage.
