Daniel D. Frisbie (November 30, 1859 Middleburgh, Schoharie County, New York - 1931) was an American newspaperman and politician.
Life
He graduated from Cornell University.
In 1904, being the editor of the Schoharie Democratic-Republican, he was elected President of the Democratic New York State Editorial Association.
He was a Democratic member from Schoharie County of the New York State Assembly in 1900, 1901, and from 1909 to 1912, and was Speaker in 1911. During his speakership happened the last election of a U.S. Senator by the State Legislature. Tammany Hall boss Charles F. Murphy wanted William F. Sheehan or another of his friends to succeed Chauncey Depew, but members of the State Legislature led by State Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt successfully blocked Sheehan's election, and after a three-month long deadlock compromised on James Aloysius O`Gorman. Shortly afterwards the State Constitution was amended, and henceforth the U.S. Senators from New York were elected by the people.
