May Not Confirm Elliott for South Dakota Judge
The Senate faces a possible fight over James D. Elliott nomination as federal judge for South Dakota. Progressives weigh opposition over Elliott’s railroad work and land deals, with Senator Gamble backing him due to friendship and political influence. President Taft hesitated earlier, while La Follette and others demand inquiry into past land holdings and counsel work. Confirmation hinges on progressive satisfaction and past Senate inaction weighs against Elliott.
