Representative Parsons believes that other men would have made better chairmen of the New York Public Service Commission than New York City Postmaster William R. Willcox. He expects Willcox to be ineffective and thus damage legislation’s chances for success as well as the Republican Party and laments the shortage of people to run for office. Parsons also advises against naming Edward Morgan as Willcox’s replacement.
