Letter from Albert J. Beveridge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Albert J. Beveridge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Beveridge defends his support of proposed child labor legislation to President Roosevelt, believing that organized labor would be “militarily” supportive of the bill. He also argues, in response to Roosevelt’s doubts, that the text of the bill is well worked out and could be easily interpreted and applied by courts, basing his assessment on his own successful legal career. Beveridge acknowledges that he had been too caught up in recent statehood debates and arguments over the Philippines to make the necessary legal defenses for the legislation on the Senate floor.

Letter from Herbert Parsons to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Herbert Parsons to Theodore Roosevelt

Representative Parsons believes that the Judiciary Nominator’s ticket could cost Republicans thousands of votes, specifically because there are no Orthodox Jews on the ticket and certain parts of New York City are not represented. Parsons also notes the absence of respected Judge Rosalsky and the fact that there are more Democrats than Republicans. A circular letter sent out by the Nominators gave the false impression that men active in politics are forever disqualified from being judges.
