there has been q great deal of IL in the
past few days. he said today: II want

Brown and myself were candidates I

not run in opposition TO him for the bench
under any consideration. You can say
so said Mr.. Fitzgerald.
Neither the senator or Mr.. Fitzgerald
would definitely say whom the Demo-
cratic caucus favored, dealing only in
glittering generalities.
The respite gives the Nathan w. Little
field faction among the Democrats new
hope. and unless great care and skilful
treatment Is given the whole bench may
be one political persuasion. so one man
diagnoses the situation.
There are a number OF men in both
branches who still have leanings iowa rd
or arr part OF General Brayton's machine
and these are laying low for Judge Rath
bun, hoping that in the shuttle OF the MAX

things they are opposed to he comes
around and asks us 20 vote for him Just
because he asks us lie has not pursued
good policies on us II he has practiced
good politics on some other people or or
ganizations."
The sentiment about him seems 70 be
that II he gets on the bench II will not
be because OF what he has done for his
fellow assemblymen or for the people
OF the state as a whole but for Gen.
Brayton upon whose influence he must
now rely. That Is the consensus OF
opinion of several members who were
interviewed and they allowed that his
name had no weight with them.
II certainly looks pretty well tangled
UP now, and there is a vast amount OF
interest to see what sort OF a bench full
OF judges will come out OF the uiixup.
