President Roosevelt believes it is nonsense to say that he demanded Townshend Scudder’s nomination [for New York State Supreme Court]. He does not remember saying anything about Scudder except to Representative Cocks himself, and even then Roosevelt believes he only said that he “hoped that the nominators’ ticket would be as far as possible adopted, and that as few men would be substituted for those on it as possible.” Roosevelt details that he also wrote to New York State Republican Committee Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff about another candidate that Roosevelt believed to be on the ticket.
