Senator Foraker endorses the appointment of Judge Daniel Thew Wright to United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Although Wright participated in a local “fusion” revolt from the Republican Party in 1897, even during the revolt, the fusionists supported the state and national Republican ticket.
