Harvey w. Scott, editor >of the
Morning Oregonian. is to be the ad-
visor of the president in the selection
of a federal judge for the Oregon
district.
This information is gained from the
best of private sources and is thought
to be correct. Mr.. Scott is now in
Washington. d. c., and has wired
friends in Portland that he has seen
both the president and the attorney
general and that the immediate pros
poets of Henry McGinn, of Portland,
are exceedingly bright, but 1t is known
that the president is not going to hur-
ry in the matter of appointment and
that McGinn will lose ground with de-
lay. as he has many bitter enemies.
as well as many ardent admirers. and
that his enemies will make the best
of all delays to thwart his appoint
ment.
Senator Fulton and his friends are
said to be working against the aP-
pointment of McGinn. although all
four of the circuit judges of Portland
George. Cleland, Frazer and Sears
have joined in an endorsement OF
McGinn's candidacy.
1t is said that If McGinn cannot Sc
cure the appointment. then Scott and
his forces will swing to either Judge
George or Frazer, but that every
means will be exhausted to secure Nc
Ginn's appointment, first.
Before the appointment is made
President Roosevelt will send a spe-
cial agent to Oregon to investigate the
situation and it may be months before
the appointment is made.
Justice Bean a Candidate.
Justice Bean, of the supreme court.
is now coming to the front with a
strong Endorsement, Justices Wolver-
ton and Moore both having indorsed
his candidacy. the report that they
have indorsed McGinn to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
1t is said their Endorsement of Nc
CHM only stated that he was qualified
for the place, a diplomatic reply to
his solicitations. But their actual
strength will be thrown to Judge
Bean. it is asserted on the best of
authority.
Good Chance for Eastern Oregon.
When the entire matter is summed
up, an Eastern Oregon man has yet
the best promise of appointment, for
the reason that the president will
avoid as much as possible the old fac
tional warfare of Portland rings and
will thoroughly investigate every ap-
plicant for the position before max
ing the appointment.
