BRISTOW IN CUBA 



It was during McKinley's administration 

 that extensive frauds were discovered in 

 the Post-office Department of Cuba. Sen- 

 ator Bristow, of Kansas, was then the 

 fourth assistant postmaster general. He is 

 a born investigator, able, original, fearless. 

 McKinley, when he realized the gravity 

 of the frauds, sent for Bristow and told 

 him he had selected him to go to Cuba 

 and make a thorough investigation and 

 clean out any corruption that might be 

 found there. 



"I am willing to go, Mr. President," 

 said Bristow, "but before going I want to 

 call your attention to the fact that every 

 appointee in Cuba who has been accused 

 of wrongdoing has been sent there upon 

 the recommendation of members of Con- 

 gress, senators, or men influential in the 

 Republican Party. When it becomes 

 necessary for me to arrest or remove from 

 office any of these men, they will at once 

 complain to their friends in the States and 

 you will be bombarded with complaints as 

 to my conduct. All I ask is that you with- 

 hold judgment until you hear my side of 

 the case." 



McKinley said : "Mr. Bristow, I under- 

 stand just bow difficult a task I have as- 

 signed to you. But go ahead, do what 

 is right, be cautious, but firm, and shield 

 no luan who has been guilty of wrong- 

 doing. As to the complaints, leave them 

 to ine ; I will take care of them." 



Bristow did go ahead and ran his game 

 to cover, and when Hanna and other 

 senators and congressmen protested, he 

 told them that the Cuban postal service 

 was infested with a gang of thieves and 

 that he was simply doing his duty and 

 proposed to keep it up. Then they went 

 to the White House and McKinley told 

 them that Bristow was acting on his 

 orders. He stood unwaveringly by Bristow 

 against the persistent irnportunity of 

 many of his most intiiuate political ad- 

 visers. — United States Senator R. M. La 

 Follette in the American Magazine.
