JUDGE ADAMS URGED
FOR CIRCUIT BENCH,
Vacancy Exists, Owing to Cald-

HOOK OF KANSAS A CANDIDATE.
HOOK OF KANSAS A CANDIDATE.
Missouri Lawyers Indorse the APP
pointment and Republican
Politicians Favor the
Selections.

Friends of Judge Elmer B. Adams of the
Eastern Missouri District United States
Court are pushi ig HIM for the vacancy
caused in the Eighth Judicial Circuit by
the resignation of Judge Caldwell. who
formally left the bench June 4, because of
his having reached the age when he could
retire on full pay.
For several months the lawyers of Mis-
souri, have been working to bring about
Judge Adamss appointment as Judge Cald-
wells suco lessor. Judge Adams's popularity
with the bar and the excellent record which
he has made while on the bench have en-
listed practically very lawyer in St. Louis
In his behalf He has taken no active part
an the night for his appointment.
His principal opponent is Judge William c.
HOOK of Leavenworth, now presiding over
mat district court. General Counsel Alex

system. is not candidate, contrary to gen.
erai supposition. and has prevented his

At one time 1t was announced that Sena-

their Endorsements. because of the fight for

S %neh aspirant for the place is Judge Smith
nave the Endorsement of the Iowa Republic
an Senators and Representatives
Aside from the almost united support
which the bar of St. Louis and Missouri is
giving to Judge Adams, it is said that the
Republican politicians now in control of
the party favor him TO the exclusion of 9TH
ers. This is largely through the influence of
Charles Nagel 1t is said. who is an admi.er
OF Judge Adams. and who will use every
endeavor to have appointed. as Judge
Adamss successor. Judge Gustavus A.
Finkelnburg. one of the best-known and re-
spected Republican attorneys of the State
Congressman Richard Bartholdt is now in
Washington, and. II is said. carries with
him Endorsements of both Adams and Fink
elnburg.
Judge Adams was appointed to the Fed
eral bench to succeed Judge Samuel H.
Priest. who resigned after a years occu-
pancy. He has been remarkably successful
in having his decisions sustained by the
Appellate Courts. and has made decisions
which have given him a name in the legal
fraternity throughout the country.
One decision. handed down by him only
few months ago. received much favorable
comment from the fact that II prevented
the Wabash Railroad from enjoining the
leader of a labor union from ordering a
strike on the system.
The salary of a United States District
Court Judge Is 5000 year. and that of a
Circuit Judge 5000 Congress having raised
the compensation for Circuit Judges at the
last session.

Rand's connection with mining companies,
to the stock of which postal employees sub
scribed and his close relations with A. w.
Machen, the dismissed and indicted Super
intendent of Free Delivery. have given rise
to the belief that he must necessarily be
closely investigated.
An investigation Of Mr.. Rand is prac-
tically an investigation of the Postmaster
Generals office. II is felt that il would be
placing Mr.. Bristow in an embarrassing po-
sition TO ask him to investigate the Office
of his superior and the head of the service.
The general opinion is that Mr.. Payne
should investigate his own office. but there
the objection arises that he is Randi
closest friend in the service. and that Mr..
Payne would have trouble in displaying alb
solute impartiality, especially since he has
openly declared the utmost confidence in
Mr.. Rand.

Washington. June l0.-Not few good

why the Democrats in their search for
candidate for President next year have not
turned their eyes toward St Louis anu
picked up Public Prosecutor Folk.
He would make a campaign TO sur the
blood of the masses. He is a genuine DEM
ocrat. who never went of with the Popu!sts
on the silver craze. He has an un5emisned
record as citizen. and unless the courts
fail of their duty he will have an unprece-
dented record as Il punisher OF public roo
bers He could probably draw bigger vote
from the heart of the Republican party in
his home baiiwick than any one else who
could be nominated on the same side. He Is
ut once Southern anG a western man. anu
that has been the demand for several years
now from large element in the Democratic
organization.
Ask tho first St. Louisan you meet why
Folk is not pushed to the front. and he wih
tell YOU it IL because the Jefferson Club Is
down on him, and the Jefferson Club In ST.
Louis is as powerful as Tammany In New
York. But New York pulled her Tilden in
In 1876 and her Cleveland in 1881 and again
in 1892 out of the very Jaws nj TaEiman?.

Bryan took luncheon the other day in OBJ

second Cleveland Cabinet to replace Hoke
Smith. when the latter decided to follow
Bryan under protest?
ASK the third and he will tell you that
Folk can never command the support Of
the Democratic machine or get the indorse-
ment of his State. as his fundamental asset
in going before the convention; for the
State will declare for its favorite son, Da-
