Description
Six vignettes feature people asking Secretary of the Interior Richard Ballinger if there is truth to rumors of his pending resignation. In the final vignette he responds "Not a word of truth in it."
On March 11, 1911, the Secretary of the Interior under the Taft Administration (1909-1913), Richard A. Ballinger, resigned over his reversal of land conservation policies implemented under the Roosevelt administration (1901-1909), but broken in the interests of big business and hydroelectric power.
