Herbert Parsons met with Postmaster Cortelyou to go over suggestions forwarded to the Republican gubernatorial candidate in New York, Charles Evans Hughes, most of which had to do with antisemitism in newspapers of Democratic candidate William Randolph Hearst. Parsons was also part of the Judiciary Convention which nominated Otto Rosalasky while taking the rest of the Judiciary Nominator’s ticket. Parsons urges Roosevelt to endorse James L. Wells as a candidate to represent the Bronx.
