II has been for years an inexorablc
habit Mt Richmond to rntify party

the confirmation OF Judge Rhea. The
surprisingly large number Of Demo-
Gratis who did disregard what was an
illogical appeal to party loyalty, and
did decline utterly, under oath and III
conscience to sanction the appoint
ment OF Judge Rliea for position OF
great judicial responsibility. tells q
