...Other appointments by President Hoover last week caused the Senate to bark, if not bite. Because he had named Albert L. Watson a U. S. District Judge in Pennsylvania, President Hoover was charged with heeding the demands of William Wallace Atterbury, Pennsylvania R. R. president, Pennsylvania's Republican National Committeeman, rather than his own Attorney-General, and of treating the G. O. P. North, better than the G. O. P., South.
