New Jersey Patronage Hinge On Taft Brings Briggs More Help
The end of Senators Kean and Howell terms shifts federal patronage control in the Third District to Senator Briggs. Robert Carson has held Perth Amboy Port Collector for thirteen years, with Kean’s backing expected for reappointment, but Taft’s renomination may favor Briggs as Theodore Strong backs William Pfeiffer of Perth Amboy. A decision is anticipated soon, possibly by April 4.
