Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-07-11
Madison. July 8

,,road by his many friends throughout
tba state and particularly by the law
80 of the eleventh circuit, over
which he presides. Senator Thomas
p Mills. of Superior, has visited Prai-
ria du Chen and GAINESVILLE, spent
,arts Of two days in Madison, and yes
terdav went to Milwaukee, all this
presumably in the interest of JuHge
Marshall
emit are for Marshall to man." said
Nr Mills. yesterday. 'sWe believe he
q entitled to the place and everyone
knows that he is eminently fitted to
occupy a seat on the supreme bench.
There will be no tight--no dickering
or wire-pulling; in straight forward
and dignified manner the friends of
Indge MARSHALL propose to present his
name and ,laims, and think they will
be duly rec ognized"
Ex,Assemblyman c. f. Osborn of
Darlington, leading lawyer of the
fifth circuit, spent Sunday in Madison.
He said that Judge Clementson GER
tainiy would have the endorsement of
every lawyer in his circuit He init
mated, however, that there would
probably be no concerted action in
his behalf and that the judge is not a
candidate in the sense of striving for
the appointment.
Friends of Judge William p. Lyon,
late chief justice of the supreme court,
who il now in California with his
children, are mentioning his name in
connection with the vacancy. The
older members of the state bar and
those who have been in public life a
long time would as a rule be pleased
10 see the respected jurist once more,
on the supreme bench. One gray
haired lawyer said yesterday that it
would be a graceful compliment to-
Judge Lyon to appoint him to fill out
/ the remaining three years of the late
| Judge Orton's term and then he can
/ withdraw if he desires and a younger
| man be elected. There is no difference
| Of opinion regarding Judge Lyons
eminent legal qualifications and his
Lyon originally came from Racine
county, as did Gov. Upham, and people
from that county are famous for the
way in which they favor one another.
There Is always an especially tender
spot in the heart of Racine man for
presons who are or ever have been
citizens of that county. This was
pretty well shown when the governor
put Clarence Snyder on the board of
control. Snyder. to be sure, resides in
Ashland now but he halls from Racine
just the same There was much OPP
position to his appointment, but the
Racine spirit saved him. And this
same spirit Is to be feared by the
other fellows" Both Charles Quarles
aud John L. Fish, Of Milwaukee, are
Old Racine friends of the governor,
both arc good lawyers and both are
being mentioned" And 1t will be
recalled that it was T. Y. Quarles. a
brother Of Charles. whose speech was
powerful factor in carrying the re-
4 publican convention for Upham.
L + rumored that ex-senator John
c Spolner may he appointed to fill
the vacancy. He is very close to the
administration and could probably
nave the place il he wants it. How
ever il - hardly probable that the ex-
senator would accept it owing to the
continuing nature of its duties and also
~ account Of the small salary. 5000
PeT year, which is probably not much
u more than one1tenth Of what he makes
. praetlcing. Secretary of State Casson
said Yesterday that while he was un-
yer ten. j. NJ. RusE when the latter
WA secretary Of agriculture, Harrison
wanted to appoint ex-senator Spooner
20 The supreme bench of the United
Ntates, but he would not accent. Col
OaSs1n said that Gen. Rusk told him
2 tfle matter while they were in
washington. The fact that Madison
.',S one justice in the person Of Judge
rlnney viii naturally operate great
y the disadvantage of any other
Madison man.
hahk Examiner Fl. I. Kidd stated
,Dai Judge Clementson's friends will

MI slld the Judge would not be a can
ull''te for the appointment in the
2''1lon sense of the word. but would
"',ePt It if it is rendered him without
5tation on his part.
Judge Webb 81 the governors home
