F. Norton Goddard is concerned about a controversy in New York’s 25th Assembly District and provides his opinion on several leading New York Republicans. He complains that there was a conspiracy on the part of Henry Birrell to take over as Leader of the 25th District. Goddard also gives a negative opinion of Senator Platt and points out that while he thinks that Governor Odell is a likable person, he does not include him in any important information. He complains that Mayor Low is a drag on the idea that the Republicans are the party of good government and threatens to run a third-party campaign if Low runs again.
