Senator Minton declared after
the President discussed the back

press conference “I think McNutt
will do the job and he will be so

would be “satisfactory to anti
Roosevelt Democrats.”
The President told reporters
that although no mention of Me
Nutt’s candidacy was made at
conferences the appointment had
been offered and accepted.
