New York Congressmen's Records Show Varied Activity
Washington exposes the diverse efforts of New York's delegation in the just-concluded session. It highlights Amos J. Cummings as a standout with broad work across naval, labor, and postal issues, while others like Riordan and Bradley show minimal activity. The piece notes Platt and Depew's selective public actions, the frequent private pension bills, and the strong contrast with newcomers such as Fitzgerald, Sulzer, McClellan, Levy, Chanler, Ruppert, and Driggs in their focused or prolific efforts.
