JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

A proposal is being discussed by
prominent lawyers and leaders of the
Democratic party 10 indors& the best of
the nominations for the Judiciary made
by the. Republicans and Americans. -
selecting two names from each ticket.
The suggestion has its origin in the be-
lief that the judgeships should not be
a matter of partisan strife and that
the Democratic Endorsement, which
wonld be~eQuivalent to the election of
the .uen chosen. would determine in
advance the character of the bench in
this district for the ensuing four
years.
So far as can be learned from a can
vass of the lawyers in the party. the
idea meets with the unqualified ap-
prevail of the bar and no objection to
Il has been raised from other sources.
Naturally the candidates who VIII be
left out of the arrangement do not like
the plan. and some of the politicians in
the Republican and American par
ties do not take kindly to it: but it is
unlikely that any of the men selected
for Endorsement would refuse to have
SO distinct an honor or forego the ad-
vantage in the election which it would
insure.
Some little time must elapse before
the Democratic convention meets. and
there is no need of hurry about the
matter. but unless some Unforeseen OBJ
lection occurs. IL is altogether likely
that the convention will see the wis
dom OF such an arrangement and make
II effective. Besides removing the ju-
dicial candidates from the scramble of
a campaign. it would insure the selec-
tion Of the Best men available. and in
this case the material from which to
select is of such high character as to
make this entirely feasible:

WHAT THE MAINE VOTE MEANS.

While the figures Of other years do
not show that Maine is an infaIlible in
dex OF the political tendency in presi-
dental year. the election of Monday
is unquestionably significant in the
tremendous decline of Republican
strength as compared with the vote OF
1904. In that year the September plu-
rality of the Republicans was q. $780,
and Roosevelts plurality in November
was So. 7el-or about five times as great
as the plurality of the state ticket In
1908
This year the vote was a record
breaker, and yet the best the Repub-
licans could do after extraordinary eff
forts was only 1929 plurality for
their state ticket. 1t is true as some
of the Republican newspapers declare
that local issues have helped democrat
ize their party: but none of them has
expected until recently, that there
would be such serious loss of votes
at tile worst
Local issues do not explain the defec-
ton of nearly 10000 voters: nor is there
any likelihood that such a candidate as
Faft will be able to recover any large
part of the loss in November The
tendency in Maine. as well as all over
the country. is away from the Repub-
licans and toward Democracy and if
the tide keeps on. swelling as it has
ever since the campaign opened. the re-
suit in November will be as surprising
as ~ was when Cleveland defeated
Harrison in 1892 after he had been
beaten by the same man four years be-
fore.
