Roraback Forces Seen in Control of Local Judiciary Appointments
Political leaders view the likely reappointment of Judge George H. Vosburgh and Nehemiah Candee to county court positions as evidence that Roraback loyalists dominate in the General Assembly and local party apparatus. The 1919 assembly faced opposition to Vosburgh and Candee, but Vosburgh was re-elected amid Republican town committee packing, a tactic now unlikely to be supported by the current committee under Mrs Minerva M. Davis who has opposed State Chairman Tlenty Roraback.
