in future contests.
Mitchell, Duncan and Keefe said
they expected to be in Denver at the
session of the federation while the
presidents dinner was In progress
They say they cannot divine the presi.
dents purpose in calling them away
from Denver in the middle of the an.
nual convention. They think it woul j
have tendency to disrupt the forces
of the organization and cannot sec
their way clear to accept. They do
not understand the leaving out of
Samuel Gompers by the president.
The entire membership of the con.
vention is wrought UP over the mat.
ter, though nothing IS said in the con
vention openly.

Washington, Nov 11.-Assistant
Justice Rubus w. Peckham reached
his SEVENTEEN year last week and now
chief justice and three associate JUS
tees who can retire on full pay any
time they desire. Chief Justice Fuller
is now rs, John M Harlan associate
justice is also rs, David ]. Brewer will
be II next June and Justice Peckham
has just turned TO- 1t is altogether too
early to predict just when these men
will actually leave the bench, but it
will undoubtedly be after March 4, in
which case the new president, William
Howard Taft, will have the filing of
part, If not all, of the vacancies on the
supreme tribunal.
No one can predict who will sue
ceed the present incumhents, but
Judge Taft's presonal acquaintance
with the prominent lawyers over the
country will enable him to judge wise
ly when it becomes his privilege to
select SUCCESSORS.
1t is believed that Justice Peckham
will probably avail himself of the op-
portunity to retire within the next
year. During the past few years his
health has not been of the best and
more than year aao it was rumored
he would like to leave the bench. He
took ,his seat IN 1925, sr1.8eaing the
late Howell e. Jackson of Tennessee.
He is Democrat, but was never &C
tive in politics. At the time of his
appointment by President Cleveland,
he was justice of the supreme court of
appeals of New York.

district by district must be considered
If the opinion by districts is to pre-
vail, then Hopkins would have SO
votes on joint ballot in the legislature
Foss would have 27, ex-senator Mason
IL and the Democratic Mr.. Stringer
10. This would give Senator Hop
kins a lead but not a majority, and
would open the way for a Foss fight.
The Hopkins men. however, insist
that the primary vote was for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the sentiment of
the entire state. and not of single
district, and the advisory vote is bind
ing on the whole Republican member
ship of the legislature. If this cor
struction is followed and all the Re-
publicans line UP for him, he would
have r total on 125 votes or % more
than necessary.
IT is evident that there is to be a
battle royal, however, before this con-
struction is accepted, and Springfield
is anticipating one of the liveliest leg
tslative contests which has pressed
the capital In years.

will be veritable bedlam. With a
fierce fight on for the speaker-ship,

The first and greatest battle will be

Illinois had an advisory primary this
year, in which all of the candidates for
senator participated. If the result In
the state is TO he taken as whole,
Senator Hopkins won an easy re-elec-
