Chief Justice Guffy of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky advocates for the reappointment of Mr. Barnett as Surveyor of the Port at Louisville, Kentucky. Guffy fears that if Barnett is removed it will weaken the Republicans in the district and the Democrats are already making a strong challenge. Guffy does not believe that he can win reelection without Barnett serving as Surveyor. In a handwritten note addressed to President Roosevelt, Senator Hanna concurs with Guffy’s assessment of the situation.
