Harrison for Supreme Court?

IL Is bruited about i'm some quar-
ters that the members of the
Supreme Court bench who come
up for reelection at the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly will
have opposition. Indeed, one re
port even goes SO far as to say that
a slate already has been formed
and will be put up against the in.
cumbents, but this should hardly
be taken seriously. At any rate.
the scheme, if such there be. is
known to but few. The average
man who is well posted on politics
would be pretty apt to predict that
each of the five Judges at present
on the bench will be reelected.
and that possibly not single one
Viii have opposition. Now and
then, however, one hears whisper
to the effect that Judge Thomas
W. Harrison. of Winchester. Of
the Seventeenth Circuit. composed
otthe counties of Frederick, Clarke.
Warren, Shenandoah and Page.
viii seek to don the ermine now
worn by Judge George NJ. Harri-
son. But this. too. appears to come
from unauthentic sources. 4 pro-
vision OF the new constitution SAYS
that the Supreme Court Judges.
when next they come up for elcc-
ton. shall be chosen respectively
for terms of four. six. eight. ter
and twelve years. After these
limited terms have been served.
however, the following terms in
every case will Toe for twelve years.
This provision. which applies only
10 the election to be held 10y the
next Legislature. Is designed to
lnaugurate an arrangement which
IN years 10 come may prevent all
of the Judges being of the same
political faith. For instance. when
the six year term ends, the party
then in power will have the priv
lege of filling the position. And
81 on. The next election. In short.
will be the last time when all rivc
of the Judges will be chosen at
once. Richmond journal.
