Judge Charles M. Hough has shown Judge George C. Holt and Charles C. Burlingham the correspondence President Roosevelt sent him, and now returns the letters. Hough does not understand Senator Thomas Collier Platt’s conduct, as he had previously written letters suggesting that he had no objections to Hough’s nomination to the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York. He admits that he had previously been unable to fully understand “the political or quasi-political qualifications” surrounding the selection of a judge, and thanks Roosevelt for the confidence he has placed in him in spite of his previous connections with railroads.
