approval of the movement now preface
similar remarks with Ifs. and others have
announced their intention Of supporting
the Democratic candidates. IL is rumored
that there is not great deal Of anxiety be-
tween some Of the Third party candidates.
The loyalty Of their candidate for State
Senator is suspected by some, though he IS
An honorable man. They fear he is not IA

The vacancy on the Supreme Court bench
caused by tho death of Associate Justice
Davis will be filed by the governor. The
law requires that such vacancies be filed by
appointment until the next general election.
at which time the people shall elect for the
remainder OF the term. The next general
election being IN November II would seem
needless for the governor TO appoint but for
the fact that the Supreme Court will con
vene before election day and It is desirable
that there be a full bench. The State
executive committee will doubtless nomi-
nate a candidate 20 be voted for 40 the cleo
ton, and Governor Holt may appoint tho
man 80 nominated, or he may make another
selection in his discretion. a similar con
