PINHEY WON The DAY.
He was Endorsed by the North
Wisconsin Bar.

/ CHIPPEWA FALLS, WIS Dec. 30.-The
/ Bar convention of the Northern circuits
was called to order by w. C. Silverthorn,
of Wausau, at > o'clock this afternoon.
About sixty lawyers from other counties
were in attendance and 200 were repre-
sented by proxy. Mr.. Silterthorn
stated that the object of the meeting
was to confer with reference to the
recommendation of a candidate for
associate justice of the Supreme court
He said that the action of the confer
ence was not to be final, and no attorney
present need consider himself bound
to support the candidate named. He
touched on the Importance Of having
the Supreme bench kept free from
party politics, and urged the nomination
of Northern Wisconsin candidate, if
the conference could agree on one, but
said the question of fitness was more
vital than that of locality. The confer
ence then organized, elecung Mr.
SIlverthorn chairman, and W. NJ.
Bowe, Of this city, secretary.
Nearly all of the circuits represented
had their favorite candidates, Judge
Marshall, of the Eleventh circuit having
perhaps the largest following. He was
supported by all the lawyers of the
Eleventh and Fifteenth circuits and
some from outside. Judge Newman, of
the Sixth circuit, and Judge Webb, of
the Seventh, also had the support of
their respective circuits and some
others. 1t had become apparent that
the conference could not unite on
North Wisconsin man, and for that
reason no names were presented and
no vote taken-Sentinel.
