Bailey Chooses the hard way in Supreme Court stance letter
Senator Josiah W. Bailey replies to editor W. O. Saunders defending his choice of the hard way over the easy path in forming his public position. He contrasts historic figures and says duty, not popularity, guides him, and cites personal resolve, past leaders, and the defense of judicial independence. The letter ends with the Democratic Platform excerpt from 1936.
