Attorney General Bonaparte has spoken to Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock about the political situation in Alabama, particularly regarding Assistant U.S. Attorney Oscar R. Hundley and an open judge seat. One faction supports Hundley’s nomination because it would be a blow to a second disgruntled faction which wants to take control of the Alabama delegation to the National Republican Convention. This faction wants Shelby S. Pleasants chosen. Bonaparte also reports on a conference with James Clark McReynolds about the Tobacco Trust. Bonaparte will be ready to brief President Roosevelt on this matter on Monday or Tuesday.
