F. Norton Goddard took President Roosevelt’s advice to collect endorsements for Marcus M. Marks’s candidacy for the Postmastership of New York, and has collected over 2000 endorsements from businesses. Goddard attests that these endorsements are from major businesses and believes he will have quite a few more by the time he visits Roosevelt. New York state senator Nathan Elsberg and prominent Republican Cornelius Newton Bliss have also endorsed Marks. Goddard admires a recent statement by Roosevelt.
