and elected to the judiciary twice by the
Democrats. This year he desired to be
candidate, but was notified last spring by
the leaders of Tammany Hall that it had
been decided not to place him on the
Democratic ticket this year. There was
much public inquiry Immediately as to
the cause of this refusal to renominate
Judge Daily.
Richard Croker, it wac said, had
''turned down. Judge DAILY for personal
reasons. The Republicans and Citizens
Union both placed Judge DAILY on their
ticket and vigorous campaign was made
in his behalf.

endorsed him in an address to the public
in which it was held that the independ-
ence Of the Judiciary was assalied. Mr.
Croker then issued statement to the
effect that he had never in his life asked
a favor of JUDGE Daily, but that Tammany
Hall had asked him to appoint Michael
T. DAILY to court clerkship and that his
failure to comply with this request had
cost him the nomination.
The Bar association thenceforth in the
Mr. GyOkor,e

Judge DAILY. A committee of one hundred
representative men was formed to manage
his campaign and fully as much interest
was shown In the Judiciary contest as in
the race for governor. judge DAILY was
not elected, but he polled 1000 more votes
in the city than Roosevelt.
