William Barnes, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the New York Republican Party, is sorry to hear that there have been protests against the appointment of G. Howard Davison as Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. Judges Edgar M. Cullen and William E. Werner are the likely nominees for the New York Court of Appeals which will “shut out” John Thomas McDonough. Barnes would like President Roosevelt informed of this situation.
