Hanna, Marcus Alonzo, 1837-1904

Letter from Florence Bayard Lockwood La Farge to Theodore Roosevelt

Florence Bayard Lockwood La Farge knows that President Roosevelt is disappointed that his nominee for the District Attorney of Delaware, William Michael Byrne, was not confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, La Farge thinks the failed confirmation can become a positive for Roosevelt’s 1904 presidential campaign. By nominating La Farge’s suggestion John P. Nields, someone who is backed by the Delaware state bar, Roosevelt can strike back at John Edward Addicks and his supporters while not antagonizing Senator Hanna. La Farge believes such a strategy would paint Roosevelt as someone in control of the party and still true to himself.
