Senators Reach Agreement on Elliott District Attorney Nomination
South Dakota Senators reached a pact over nominating J. D. Elliott as United States attorney for the district. The Judiciary Committee had opposed the nomination due to Senator Hittredge but an assurance that Roosevelt would not issue a recess appointment after March 4 was given. The appointment came at Senator Gamble’s request. Frazier was named to replace Blackburn on the Military Affairs Committee to keep its membership intact amid investigations into colored soldiers’ discharge and the Brownsville riot. Senator Stone, sick with bronchial trouble, is expected to recover soon. Senator Clarke proposed a three-senator commission to study Hot Springs water rights and physician licensing. A Hearst bill would have national oversight of interstate corporations. A joint resolution creates a five-member Senate and five-member House committee to revise federal laws.
