Letter from Joseph Bucklin Bishop to Theodore Roosevelt
Joseph Bucklin Bishop fears that Governor Odell’s policies are hurting the party, and could enable a Democrat to replace him as Governor. Odell has upset the business community, angered lawyers by attempting to control the assignment of judges, and treated the “charity people” poorly. Bishop suggests they “throw Odell overboard” by ensuring that he is defeated at the New York State Republican Convention.
