ON THIS DAY in 1913, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Whitman Working Hard to Appease Angry Republicans.” The article focused political issues surrounding the district attorney at the time, Charles Whitman.
“District Attorney Charles S. Whitman is ready to abide by the decision of the Hapgood committee, accept the Fusion nomination as candidate for re-election to his present office and support John Purroy Mitchel as the Fusion mayoralty nominee,” the article reported.
