...unpleasant conflict between the Republican Old Guard in New York and his own political friends there in a major matter of patronage. Charles Henry Tuttle had resigned as the U. S. District Attorney for the Southern District of New York (Manhattan) last September to run vainly for governor.

Thomas (for Governor Moody) offered the visitors the freedom of Dallas...

He refused. They complained that his campaign usefulness as a regular Republican had been ruined because: 1) he had characterized Western G. O. P. Senators as "sons of the wild jackass"; 2) in opposing the London Naval Treaty he had attacked President Hoover; 3) he had tried to make Otto Hermann Kahn the committee treasurer in defiance of other members; 4) he had supported Chairman Huston...
