Now that New York Governor Frank Wayland Higgins has declared support for Assemblyman James Wolcott Wadsworth for Speaker of the Assembly, President Roosevelt thinks that everyone in favor of “clean, decent politics in the New York Legislature will get behind him.” He asks if George W. Dunn agrees. In a postscript, he says that he did not know Wadsworth was being considered for the position until he saw it in the papers this morning.
