Timothy Woodruff, chairman of the New York State Republican Committee, informs President Roosevelt that he will nominate five Republicans and three Democrats for the New York State Supreme Court in the Second Judicial District. Among the Democrats are William J. Carr and Townsend Scudder, the latter being somewhat controversial among the Democrats but having enough “masonic eminence” that Woodruff considers eliminating him “unwise.” Woodruff thanks Roosevelt for his timely letter and advice, and says he is informed about the situation upstate and is taking precautions.
