Logan Says He Did Not Boast About Chicago Appointments
Senator Logan disputes a Chicago Inter Ocean article, refuting claims he boasted no federal office in Chicago would be given without his recommendation. He details appointments like Harvey and Ham, defends Beveridge, Spalding, and Palmer, and criticizes Nixon for pressuring for the Collector post while maintaining that the President should name his choice. He argues Chicago’s voters and local figures backed him, while noting concerns about concentrated control of the customs office by a major importer.
