HIS EXPECTATION THAT HIS APPOINTMENT
WILL SOON BE CONFIRMED.
Hartford. Jan. % CSpcciaD-Govcrnor Morris has
had week OF experience In practical politics that he
will very likely remember. lie nominated for ass0-
ciae justice Of the Supreme Court. Is we'll Known
Professor simeon F.. Baldwin without stopping TO con
suit the leaders Of his party. and because he thought
1t good thing for the bench Of the State to have a
man Of technical knowledge OF law. wide experience
and nndoubted talent and character upon 1t. The
leaders simply did not like the idea. and under the
lead OF Representative George NJ. Gnnn, Of Milford,
caused large faction In the party that with the
aid OF the Republicans OF the House they turned the
nomination down and left the Governor with pretty
fight on his hands and one that If he does not win
will make his Administration mere machine for dis
tributing official patronage where It is wanted. II
he should win. however. he VIII easily have the best
Of the situation and force the leaders TO take
such medicine in the way Of appointments rs lie sees
fit 10 deal out The nomination OF Professor Baldwin
now goes 10 the Senate. and Wednesday next will be
the special order OF the day. There will be de-
,elmlncd effort the part of the friends Of the Gov
ernor and OF Professor Baldwin TO have the nomination
confirmed and there yet no signs that 1t will
not meet with the approval OF that body This done,
it will 60 back the House for q committee Of con
ference disagreeing action. and 1t Is In the wind
that 1t WILL on the second appearance In the House
be confirmed. II is useless to lay the re-
lection OF Professor Baldwin to the Republican
members of the House. The opposition began and
grew I'm the Democratic ranks solely. and the kepub
lean members simply took advantage OF IT, possibly
with some small idea Of turning the tables on The
Democrats for the contempuous action OF the Senate
of the last term In sending all nominations from
Governor Buckley to the waste basket.
The troubles that Governor Morris has nj present
however, are only beginning. The announcement OF
the slate" made up for the State Offices by The
New Haven Union" few days ago, was the most
unfortunate thing that could have happened for him.
