NEW SUPREME COURT
CAMP IGN GOSSIP
Next President May Have
to Make Several Appoint
mentS to the Bench.
Whether Judges Are Demo
Gratis or Republicans May
Make Vast Difference.

No more important duty will be in
cumbent on the next Administration
than the one Of reorganizing the Su-
preTne Court OF the United States. II
is not unlikely that the man who is
chosen to succeed President Roosevelt
viii have 10 appoint four men 10 the
highest judicial tribunal. II Secretary
Taft enters the White House he VIII
probably have to AL by appointment
the very office with which his name has
been so much connected, that OF the
chief justiceship. as well as the posts
Of three associate justices. It VIII pre-
sumably make considerable difference
in the future course OF the Supreme
Court whether the selection Of so large
a number OF members Of the supreme
bench falls 70 Secretary Tart or some
other Republican President or whether
it falls to William Jennings Bryan
Not Issue as a Rule.
The Supreme Court Is not. as a rule
an issue in a political campaign. but ii
is quite certain that this subject OF
filing Supreme Court vacancies will be
given no small degree OF attention by
thinking voters before next November.
Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller was
born February- II. 1888. He was seventy
five years old his last birthday and Will
be past eighty before the successor TO
Mr.. Roosevelt steps out Of office. The
chief Justice VIII no doubt retire before
the end Of the next Administration. a
great deal OF talk has been INDUCED
in about his retirement, but he has
shown no haste TO step down and out
as, indeed. chief justices have not IN
the history OF the country. The sug-
gestion has been made that one reason
why Chief Justice Fuller IS IN no haste
TO leave the bench is that he is Dem
ocrat. and II there is 70 be a Democrat
ic Administration follow ing this one he
would prefer TO retire under SUCH 10
gine. rather than under a Republican
Administration. Whether that has any
thing 10 do with the matter IS con1ect-
ural II may be presumed the CHIEF
Justice prefers 10 keep busy with DIS
judicial duties rather than 10 lead a life
of retirement.
Justice Harlan was born June !, 1885,
and IS within a few months OF the age
OF Chief Justice Fuller. RuInors OF his
contaminated retirement arise every few
months, and while ne IS apparently IN
no hurry 70 step down, he will natural
" do so before the close OF the next
Administration
seveuty-one years OF age he was born
June 20, 1877, and. as IS not generally
known was not born IN the United
States, but in Smyrna, Asia Minor HIS
fnrher was one of the early mission
aries TO Turkey. Justice Brewer VIII
be nearly seventy-six when the next
Administrator closes, and may leave
the bench before that time Not much
behind him IN age is Justice Feckhan.
