Federal Judeeship.
There is lively interest in the federal
| judgeship for the northern district down
this way. Every man in any way In
| terested In politics has word to say
of it, An interesting figure Is the re-
ported position of Booker T. Washington.
One republican says that he has heard
| that letters from Washington had heen
| written. complimentary to three men, U.s.
car Hundley, republican, and two prom
! inelit democrats Others, however, say
| that 1t is doubtful Washington has mad
| anything to say at all.
The report from Washington that Clark
son has gone over from New York to
| work for Hundley seems to make the
| bell f strong that he will win out. The
| Senate has refused to confirm the APP
| pointment of Mr.. (undley for attorney
| for the northern district. 1t Is thought
| that the appointment may be held UP
| for several days yet.
The situation Is said to have reached
| political state. II the President lets
politics influence him he will be gov
erned no doubt b. the advice of the
party leaders in the state. That being
so r. Hundley will likely get it. Other
wi , the opposition to Mr.. Hundley hopes
to win not.
