Letter from Walter J. Ladd to Theodore Roosevelt
Walter J. Ladd writes to Theodore Roosevelt on the subject of the recall of judges. Ladd informs Roosevelt that the Rhode Island constitution already allows for the recall of judges, although it is not commonly realized. Ladd encloses clippings from the Providence Sunday Tribune, in which lawyers debate the subject. Generally, Democrats are in favor of recall, but Republicans are firmly opposed to it. The only exception is the Republican, William H. Thornton.
