1t seems highly probable that Tolland
county will have one OF the superior court
judges In the near future. At present
this Is the only county without represent
alton on the bench. As Judge Elmer,
recently reappointed by Governor Cham
berlain, will be retired by the age limit
year from July, the governor will, In all
probability, soon make an appointment
of his successor for the balance of the
term of four years. Governor Chamber
lain has had his attention called to the
fact that Tolland county is without
judge, and 1t Is said he feels disposed to
recognize the claim Of this county In this
regard. There Is no doubt that Charles
Phelps Of this city, pre-eminently the
leading member Of the bar In this county,
could have the appointment, in the event
OF, one being made, but 1t lie understood
that be does not desire 1t. This being
the case, Joel II. Reed of Stafford Springs,
the present able states attorney, should
have the appointment, being eminently
qualified for position on the bench.
His name has been presented to the gov
ernor by the leading lawyers of this coun-
ty, and he will undoubtedly be the choice,
as he has the unanimous support Of the
Tolland county bar. Tolland county has
not had judge of the superior court
since the retirement OF Judge Dwight
LoOmls In 1891, and the county naturally
feels and justly so, that 1t should have
recognition at this time Rockville Jour-
