QUESTION ARISES AS TO WHO
WOULD NAME CANDIDATE.
PRECEDENT EXISTS
Should a Candidate Refuse or Be un-
able to Accept Nomination 1t 10 Be.
Ileved National Committee Would
Have Power to Name Candidate.

Washington, June $3.50 far as il
known no power is vested in the re.
publican national committee to fill
any vacancy on the national ticket
that might occur between the date OF
the nominating convention and the
first Monday in November following,
when the people by their votes deter
mine the statues Of the candidates,
either by rejecting them at the polls
or by comforting upon them the title
Of vice president and president elect.
A hasty study Of the precedents
shows that no emergency has arisen
in the history Of the republican party
such as would arise by the death or
retirement of one OF the candidates be-
fore election day. OF course there
can be no statutory law on the ques-
ton, because after all not only the
national committee but the conven-
lions that create them have no stand
ing in law. Therefore there is moth
ing to prevent a committee from fll-
ing a vacancy on q ticket.
It has been suggested in the past
that the committee be authorized to
fll a vacancy in event that one Of
the persons named as a candidate on
the ticket should decline the honor,
but that after all would be . clear
ase Of delegated power and very DIFF
ferent from such q contingency as
might arise through the inability Of
Mr. Sherman to accept the nomina-
tion.

cussed.
Chairman r. 3. Moves of the com
mittee said that the committee afte,
an investigation had found that 1t wa
not feasible to establish a fedora
court in this city as the one fedora
Judge who presides in this state ha:
as much business as he can handle
and 1t would be impossible for him tt
hold court in Billings. He declared
that not until another Judge was an
pointed for Montana was there any
reasonable hope for the creation OF
another district.
1t was suggested by several mem.
bers present that a petition signed by
the attorneys practicing in eastern
Montana should be drawn up and pre-.
sented to congress for the purpose OF
obtaining the extra Judge. The need
for another Judge is becoming more
apparent every day and It will be but
a question OF a short time until 1t Is
an absolute necessity that an increase
be made in. the judiciary of the gov.
eminent in this state.
To Provide Quarters.

the matter of having adequate quar-.
tiers for a federal court incorporated
In the plans of the treasury DEPART
ment's architect for the new federal
building to be built in Billings. It
was the unanimous opinion Of all pres.
n that the matter should be taken
up Immediately with the ofaclals At
Washington.
The committee was further instruct.
ed to take such action as 1t deemed
advisable in securing court rooms in
the new building and to report it's ac.
ton together with that of the govern
ment authorities to the association.
In addition to the discussion Of the.
procuring sessions Of the federal
court in this city, the matter Of hold.
Ing the annual meeting Of the Eastern

members that it would be better to

steady Of at Chico Hot Springs where
IT has been held heretofore. The ar.
suments raised In support Of this
recommendation was that the former
place was more centrally located. DOS.
