Appeal to Reason condemns Sloan for Arizona judge appointment
The Appeal to Reason denounces President Taft’s choice of ex Governor Richard E Sloan as federal judge for Arizona’s new district. It cites a 1907 Mohave county case involving a Pullman porter and a $25,000 suit, alleging improper dismissal and rushed sentencing, and argues Sloan’s career disqualifies him. The piece labels Sloan part of a corrupt judiciary linked to corporate influence.
