Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1905-03-02

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has determined to
withdraw the nomination of Senator
Joseph V. Quarles to be United States
Judge of the eastern district of Wis
consin. The president, however, is
not taking back the appointment for
the purpose OF modifying any factional
feeling in Wisconsin; in fact, he in
tends to rename Mr.. Quarles for the
same Office after March 4. This course
was necessary through the discovery
that before that date Mr. Quarles is
ineligible by reason of a constitutional
prohibition against the appointment of
a senator or representative during the
time for which he was elected to any
federal office, emoluments of which
shall have been increased during such
time.
Had Voted for Salary Increase.
1t happens that the salary of this
office, together with those of all other
district judges, was increased from
$4,000 to $4,000 year by the act Of
1908, which was during Mr.. Quarles'
term of office, and he voted for the
measure. Mr.. Roosevelt Immediately
assured Mr.. Quarles that he would
send his name to the extra session to
meet March 4.
It Is said to be probable, however,
as Gov La Toilette will take his seat
as senator the same day, the fight be-
tween the La Toilette and stalwart
wings of the party in Wisconsin will
Immediately be transferred to Wash
ington through the invocation of the
senatorial courtesy, which permits a
senator from the state to which an ap-
pointee is credited to pass upon the
matter. Mr.. Quarles' nomination may
be held up and cancelled, and some
other person named for the judgeship
before the end of the extra session,
owing to the fact that there Is an In
disposition to permit Judge to hold
Office without being confirmed by the
senate, unless such a course Is una.
voidable.
Whether, if Senator Quarles' name
were withdrawn, any one could be
found who would be acceptable to both
Senator Spooner and La Toilette, is
problematical Mr.. Spooner will, OF
course work for the confirmation of
Quarles and pretty fight is prom
ised
Similar Case Under Cleveland.
Once before, in recent years, has the
question arisen regarding the consti'
tutional prohibition against the ap-
pointment of senator to an Office
whose salary had been increased dur.
ing bis term of office. This was the
case of Senator Matt w. Ransom of
North Carolina, who, just before the
expiration of his term in 1895, was
named as minister to Mexico by Presi,
dent Cleveland, The attorney gener-
al Mr.. Olney, rendered an opinion that
under the circumstances Ranscm's ap.
pointment was unconstitutional. Pres,
ident Cleveland accordingly declared
the office vacant, but next day reap.
pointed Mr. Ransom as minister to
Mexico.

- SANDERS VS.. BLANCHARD.

A folder entitled SANDERS VS.. Blan-
chard, an Unpolitical Pardon is being
circulated throughout the State This
information is derived by the Caucasian
from the Minden Democrats issue of
recent date. Blanchard is arraigned Sc
vereiy Because he had declined to par
don c. w. Simpson, an old Confederate
soldier, convicted of manslaughter and
whom the Board of Pardons had recon-
rnended for pardon According to the
story, while Blanchard with some of his
staff in glittering uniforms journeyed to
Washington to participate in the Roose-
welt inaugural, the first act of Lieuten-
ant Governor Sanders, acting governor,
was to sign the pardon which released
Simpson from the pen. 1t is manifest
that the intent of the folder is to dis
credit Governor Blanchard and to
arouse the antagonism of the Confeder-
ate Veterans against him. 1t is true that
for years Blanchard has been loud in his
pretended admiration for the "old Corn
feds, perhaps in the same sense or
spirit Of other politicians and long
feeders at the public crib whose success
may be ascribed> in great measure to
the loyal suppon Of these gallant and
true men Of the South, but we do not
believe Lieutenant Governor Sanders will
score the anticipated admiration and the
support of the Confederate Veterans BY
such an arraignnent of Governor Blan-
chard. The old Veterans, with few ex-
ceptions, have at last awakened to the
realization of who is their friend, who
are certainly not of the number of
blanchard and Sanders and political
tin1e-servers. In the next contest for
the governorship, the Confederate Vet
Grams. at least the majority. and the peo-
pie will doubtless be guided by the prin-
ciples represented in the personality
rather than the prating Of the candi-
dates. The records that as the associate
OF Governor Blanchard in the last cam

not stand for the principles which were
advocated by Jastremski and it is only
