ton of the action taken by the House
Tuesday in adopting the resolution for
the appointment of Charles Toothe, ST.,
deputy judge of Wallingford. Mr..
Woodruff of Orange opposed reconsider
alton on the ground that MI. Toothe
was the regular caucus nominee
Representative Bowers explained
Avn, WON, nar,- from NVai1iT1p-
ford, Mr.. Kendrick and Nj Kavanaugh,
being democrats, were opposed to the
appointment of Mr. Toothe and desired
to be heard in the House on the resolu-
ton for the appointment of Charles B.
Yale.

could be said to the detriment of Mr.,
Toothe, and yet he for one, representing
a considerable number of persons in
Wallingf0rd desired to be heard in OPP
position to his appointment. He recall
ed the fact that the House had now
before it a petition in favor Of Charles

number of republicans as
we'll as democrats, representing consid- |
cradle property interests in Walltng- |
ford were in favor Of Mr.. Yale's APP !
pointment He thought that where the |
republican majority is measured not by |
numbers but by the multiplication ia /
BILE there need be no fear of so small |
body Of democrats as is in the present |
House
Mr.. Kendrick said: "T believe in the .
caucus system except that it is not .
-. ~
improper candidate; if such a candidate .
Is nominated he should be opposed, .
That does not apply to Mr.. Toothe, how
ever I also believe that the caucus
nominee should be subject to such linn
tatians that he should represent the
sentiment of the people whom he will
'epresent in whatever capacity his office
lpplies to. Nothing could be worse
han for the judiciary to become mat
er of party politics. Nobody finds fault
With the republicanism of the governor,
md vet he recognizes the principle that
politics should not apply to the judi
,iary.

vas simply a question of home rule
