Transcript	for use in a new charge that McCumber is pressing that I did wrong in finding Richards guilty of jury fixing at Nome. Senate went into Ex. session from 3 to 6 today & fought over me - not finished. Senator Foraker said that he intended to call it up everyday & makes my enemies talk - when they quit he will move for a vote & compel them to talk again & thus keep them talking or make them vote. He says we will have a big majority. [newspaper clipping:] "Judge Wickersham's Nomination. Most of the executive session of the Sen ate yesterday afternoon was devoted to con- sideration of the nomination of Judge James Wickersham to be judge of the United States court for the district of Alaska, but he was not confirmed. The charges against him, which have prevented confirmation for three years, were urged strongly by Senators McCumber, Hans- brough, Nelson, Teller, Pettus and a num- ber of others. He was defended by Sen= ators Foraker, Dillingham, Bailey, Culber- son and others. No vote was had, nor did it appear that one is imminent. He is serv- ing on a recess appointment." Teller is not against me & there were not a "number of others" against me - just McCumber, Hansborough Nelson & Pettus. Judge Day is in the city - he denounces the filibustering tactics of my enemies as infamous.
