The Philadelphia Record. commenting on
the act for the relief Of the Supreme Court Of
The United States, makes good point when
Il says that the object was ito create nine new
circuit court judges for the administration of
the Federal Elections bill according to the
partisan purpose of its authors. Though
these two measures were separate, they were
closely allied in spirit. Had the Force bill
been passed with the Judicial bill. President
Harrison's care would have been to select en-
cult judges, who could have been depended
upon for any necessary partisan service. But
with the failure of the Force bill the necessity
of elevating INSCRIPTIONS partisans to circuit
judgoships has disappeared, and the public
has, therefore. some right to expect that these
important judicial positions will be worthiy
filled"
Judge Lewis, of the Supreme Court of APP
peals of this State has been endorsed by the
Bar Of Richmond for one Of these positions,
and if Mr. Harrison really wishes to see the
places worthily filed he will not disregard
their wishes
