mess and political influences of New
ork, according to the announcement
"hlch comes from the highest adminis-
'ratlon sources, are lining up in favor
OF Louis Marshall, of New York City,
tor the position on the supreme bench
made vacant by the death of Justice
Peekham.
Among the features of his political
strength is the fact that Mr.. Marshall
is resident of the same judicial circuit
and citizen of the same state from
which Justice Peckham came There
is vigorous opposition among the New
York politicians to any program which
shall leave the Empire state without
representation on the supreme bench.
This is the most serious objection that
kas been raised against the appoint
ment of Circuit Judge Horace II.
Lurton, of Tennessee Judge Lurton
would be credited to the sixth circuit,
which already has two members of the
highest court, while the metropolitan
circuit. from which such a vast BUSH
ness goes up to the supreme bench,
would be unrepresented.
Backed BY Powerful Movement.
The fact that a very carefully con-
Quoted but powerfully backed move
ment is looking after Mr.. Marshall's
candidacy, will be a surprise 10 most
people, even to the great majority of
New Workers who ordinarily imagine

PLANTATION is that these hackers of Mr..
Marshall have been DESTROYS of keep
ing their hand concealed till they
should have opportunity to learn more
accurately than has thus far been pos
sible, exactly how the matter stands
in the mind of President Taft. The
New York leaders are by no means
ready to assume That Judge Lurton's
appointment Is foregone conclusion
They are prepared to present political
considerations of such weight that thay
believe the president can not ignore
them. Mr.. Marshall is presented by his
/ supporters as an ideally equipped man:
/ a lawyer of wide and metropolitan ex-
perence- of much the same type as A.

Until after the return of Presidan

determination of the comparativ

been named in connection with this ap
