During Wilson’s first campaign for the White House, New York lawyer Dudley Field Malone was his traveling companion and trusted advisor in managing campaign crises. Rewarded with the prime post of Collector of the Port of New York—in the days when New York was the nation’s most important port and tariffs the main source of revenue, it was “the prize plum of Federal patronage”—he became the administration’s highest-ranking supporter of the Anthony Amendment. His public support of suffrage protesters caused headaches for Wilson.
