Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

The majority of the Republican district leaders in Brooklyn favor only Republican nominees for the judiciary ticket. However, Lieutenant Governor of New York and Republican State Committee Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff backs the opinion of the “Committee of the One Hundred,” and favors a ticket with some Democrats. A letter to the editor, written by Courtland V. Anable, a lawyer from New York City, expresses his opinion on the nominees.
