Former Lieutenant Governor of New York Timothy Woodruff tells President Roosevelt that he will meet Congressman Cox [sic] in the morning regarding judicial appointments for New York State. Woodruff also includes an article from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle regarding judicial appointments that reflects his own views. Woodruff recommends giving the Democrats a “square deal” by naming three Democrats along with five Republicans. Woodruff laments how the Democrats feel about former New York Representative and future New York Supreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder.
