Letter from George W. Jolly to Henry Cabot Lodge
George W. Jolly fears that federal officials in the South are controlled by Senator Hanna, the National Republican Committee Chairman, and will send pro-Hanna delegates to the next Presidential convention. He suggests removing the majority of these officials and replacing them with men who will not use their positions to select delegates for the convention. He concludes with a request that Senator Lodge recommend him for the appointment as collector in Owensboro, Kentucky.
