Representative Parsons responds to an inquiry from William Loeb about allegations of politically-motivated “terrorism” during the political campaigns leading up to the 1906 New York State Assembly elections. Parsons says the woman who wrote Loeb was not exaggerating, that serious intimidation and threats are being made, and he intends to go public with the allegations and to urge the police and elected officials to do something to stop the intimidation and violence. Parsons asks for Loeb’s help in directing New York City Police Commissioner Theo. A. Bingham’s attention to the matter.
