Judge Parker provides his opinion on James F. Tracey for Secretary of War Root. He points out that Tracey has a very good reputation in the community, but that he does not have much courtroom experience. His reputation in Albany is fair because they do not like lawyers who are not in the courtroom. Although he is a Democrat, Tracey voted for President William McKinley. His wife also has a good reputation and her father was on the King’s Bench in Montreal.
