Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War in the cabinet of President Woodrow Wilson, has written Governor Ely of Massachusetts expressing approval of the appointment of Professor Felix Frankfurter to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts.
“I venture to express the opinion,” Mr. Baker wrote, “that there are no more intelligent or paretic citizens anywhere to be found than this fine young scholar to whom America has been in a sense an opportunity and an inspiration.”
Judge Robert P. Patterson of New York and Judge George W. Anderson, both United States judges, have written to the State House expressing approval of Professor Frankfurter’s choice.
