Senator Heyburn and Scott Fail to Oust Cortelyou as Chair
Washington dispatch reports efforts by Senator Heyburn of Idaho and Senator Scott of West Virginia to veto George Cortelyou’s expected resignation as Republican National Committee chairman. Cortelyou’s replacement remains unsettled as party leaders weigh postmaster general retirement and the timing of the 1908 national convention. The piece also notes debates over railroad mail rates, a proposed federal publicity law, and potential friction over river and harbor legislation.
