In response to a previous request from Governor Roosevelt, Celora E. Martin provides his opinion on who should be appointed to the judicial position previously held by Judge Follett. In a situation he deems “not without its embarrassments,” Martin covers the pros and cons of each judge in his district and recommends Judge Walter Lloyd Smith as the only viable candidate. He feels that either Smith ought to be appointed or a judge be selected from some other district. The position is Associate Justice of the Appellate Division, 4th Department.
