"I would do what I could to cooperate with him and see that the money that was appropriated by the United States Government was put into places where it could be best expended."

"I am issuing pardons all the time, so that so far as pardons are concerned every day is Christmas over here."

"I don't know of any special Christmas pardons that are likely to come along."

"I am having sent to me quite a number of jackknives."
