accompanied by Mrs. Teller, and will
remain here for the session Of Con-
sress, which is TO convene on Novem-

Concerning politics. the Senator said:
colorado Democrats favor the norni-
nation Of either Senator German or
Judge Parker for the Presidency. The
question has never been considered to
the extent that il has been necessary to
make choice between the two. l be-
lieve either would be satisfactory to the
West.
Conditions in Colorado were never
better than at present Crops are
plentiful; in fact. this has been the best
season agriculturally for many years.
Our State has little need for financial
legislation, and I do not believe any

Congress. 1t is likely the House viii
send some measure TO the Senate. just
as it sent a bill last session. but 1t is
not likely it will pass. 1 Judge that is

Labor troubles in Colorado have

MERGER CASE VICTORY
BELIEVED ASSURED
Officials Confident of Beat
ing Northern Securities.
RECALLING PAST DECISIONS
Put Faith in Supreme Court Reafirm-
ing Position Taken in Old
Litigation.

Strong confidence of Government vic
tory in the Northern Securities case is
noticeable among officials of the Depart
ment of Justice and in Administration
circles.
The case is set for submission Decem-
Der H. and Attorney General Knog in
tends TO make the argument himself. He
is taking a keen personal interest in this
great legal contention. and it is well
known he has been doing some hard
work on the case the past few months
when supposed to be on a vacation.
The contest before the Supreme Court
will be without exaggeration a battle of
giants. Arrayed against the Attorney
General and his able lieutenants will be
John w. Griggs. former United States
Attorney General. and such lawyers as
NJ. d. Grover. c. w. Bum, Francis
Lynde Stetson, and George B. Young.
John G. Johnson, of Philadelphia, was
retained a short time ago.
Former Decisions Recalled.
Legally of great Importance, the polit-
ical bearing of the case is equally i'm
portant. The effect. should a decision in
handed down before the Presidential
election. would be far-reaching. Those
expecting affirmation of the decision of
the circuit court of appeals base their
belief, to some extent at least, on the
personnel of the Supreme Court
IL is pointed out that the trend of
judicial utterances in applying the
Sherman act from the Trans-Missouri
case down has been in the direction of
the decision of the Northern Securities
case in the Circuit Court of Appeals.
IN the Missouri case. five of the
s,,JoaS On tho G,5prauoa hapcb foOk
the position that what Congress meant
to say was that anything operating di-
rectly to restrain interstate competition
is unlawful Four of the court thought
Congress did not mean to go so far.
OF the four minority judges, only one
is on the Supreme bench now. Justice
White Justices Field. Gray. and Shlras
are no longer there. The five JUS
tees rendering the decision in the
Trans Missouri case, Fuller, Harlan,
Brewer. Brown. and Peckham. are all
on the court. This fact is regarded as
of much significance and as foreshadow-
Ing affirmation.
Where Arguments Differ.
The Trans Missouri decision estab-
Hshed that the Sherman law provides
an iron-clad rule against checking IN
terstate competition. In the lower court,
on the principle that those who enter
into contracts are presumed TO Intend
the legitimate consequences of their en-
gagements. it was held the Northern
Securities Company was intended TO
check Interstate competition. The de-
Tense said there had been no restraint
of trade, but the court held in effect
there had been an agreement such as
the statute prohibited to restrain IL.
In the Joint Traffic Association case,
the court affirmed its position in the
Trans Missouri case. 1t is declared the
justices who have rendered these de-
cisions are not apt to reverse themselves
now. Other minor reasons are given
why affirmation may be expected.

The subject Of the nomination Of an

position.

1t is said Senator Foraker strongly

On the other hand. it is rumored that a

Position of Local Bar.
In support Of the contention that a

planned that under the present over
crowded condition Of the dockets in the
different branches of the Supreme Court
Of the District a justice from foreign
Inv iyIf int Cd
here, would afford little or no relief for
long time. 1t is also pointed out that
of the five members of the bench now
serving, only one Of them can really be
considered a local man. 1t IS therefore
contended by the members of the bar
that the District is at least entitled to
