Another letter from Balllnger to Garfield read: "My intense admiration and loyal ty to you would prevent me from be ing a candidate for' the post of sec retary of tab interior." . After' several other letters bad been read, the .entire series . was placed in the record. Other letters were read to show that President Taft sought to have Balllnger appoint . John F.
