William W. Cocks has written to Truman Handy Newberry about appointing William Perry to the Naval Collier service. Cocks saw William Barnes yesterday and discussed the situation in New York City. Cocks hopes William Loeb will help Representative Herbert Parsons over Lemuel Ely Quigg. Cocks also believes it necessary to support Governor Frank Wayland Higgins, since indifference on the part of President Roosevelt will be construed by Republican State Chairman Benjamin B. Odell’s people as opposition to Higgins.
