Excerpt from Senator John Wingate Weeks The spontaneous, widespread and favorable mention of John W. Weeks as a desirable candidate for the presidency for the Republican party warrants a close examination of his qualifications for this office, nominations for which will be made less than twelve months hence.

He took an active part in getting reported from that committee and enacted into law the bill establishing postal savings banks. He framed and had charge of the forestry bill enacted into law at that session, was re-elected to the Sixty-second Congress, and introduced the bill for the protection of migratory and insectivorous birds, known when enacted into law as the Weeks-McLain bill.
