Senator Ab. Palmer (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Wystan said:
    New York state senator A. J. Palmer, of Ulster, N. Y. (incorrectly identified in Bain's photo), was a member of Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party, and a sponsor of reform legislation. In April, 1913, he introduced a bill in the N. Y. legislature to repeal public utility franchises of all types after a term of twenty-five years. In March, 1914, he was quoted in a New York Times story on the necessity of paying legislators an adequate wage, as a means of removing money from politics. Here is another Bain/LOC portrait of Senator Palmer, that was posted more recently:
  • Wystan said:
    LOC: Correction, this man's name is A. J. Palmer, not Ab.
  • Pete (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks, Wystan. We'll look into it and make the necessary changes.
  • Richard Norton said:
    He is both, he is Abraham J. Palmer. I added him to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_J._Palmer
  • Wystan said:
    Isn't Ab a nickname for "Abner," while the shortened form of Abraham is "Abe"?
