Senator Gallinger Defends Ingham Appointment Relation Ties
The hearing reveals Senator Gallinger stating that George W Ingham, Providence RI native, rose from clerk to statistician in the insurance office before being named superintendent of insurance. Gallinger says he supported the appointment after seven to eight years of study and that Col Judson’s memory may mislead on Burleson’s alleged remark.
