Williams Ambassadorship Deals Spark Senate Opposition
Washington reports suggest a political bargain connected to Henry M. Pindell being offered the Russia post, with a similar arrangement claimed for Williams Droppers to Athens. A confidential Lewis letter outlines a yearlong ambassadorship for Pindell to St Petersburg, with a return to Peoria after October 1, 1914. The claims prompt expected Senate scrutiny once the nomination reaches Congress.
