Senator Foraker endorses the appointment of Judge Daniel Thew Wright to United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Although Wright participated in a local “fusion” revolt from the Republican Party in 1897, even during the revolt, the fusionists supported the state and national Republican ticket. In addition, the revolt was so widespread as to indicate the real need for reform locally. Others who participated, including Nicholas Longworth, have since risen to high office within the party. President Roosevelt should have no hesitation in appointing Wright.
