 INVESTIGATING

Washington, D. G., Jan. 8.-The nomination of Judge Silas H. Reid to be judge of the Third judicial district of Alaska, which was referred to the Judiciary committee has been re- ferred to subcommittee of that body fer investigation. Some oppo- sition to the appointment has mani Tested itself, instigated by Alaskans, on the grounds that Judge Reid lacks knowledge of mining law and is un- familiar with the conditions of the country. The charges are not con- sidered serious and the committee will doubtless report favorably on the nomination in a few days. 1t is understood that the senators from Oklahoma, from whence Judge Reid comes, are urging his confirmation, although both are Democrats and the appointee 8 Republican.

Wisconsin offers Senator LaFollette,
presidential aspirant and a man Of par
ticularly recent prominence because of
his mighty senatorial filibusters. He is
the one man of all others which the
Taft organization has most feared in
the way of an oratorical bombshell in
the interest of a third term for Roose-
welt. 1t is a rare political coincidence
that these five sister states, carved
from a territory which was, but few
years ago, a trackless forest, should
now so thoroughly represent and hold
the balance of contemporary Republic
