Western senators push to keep Hermann as land office chief
Washington March 2. An afternoon paper reports Senator Shoup and other western senators urged President to retain Binger Hermann as Commissioner of the General Land Office. Friction with Secretary Hitchcock could force Hermann out unless Senator Mitchell’s decision aligns the Oregon delegation in his favor. Some support exists for Richards, the western assistant commissioner from Wyoming, if a vacancy occurs.
