GOVERNOR WILL
CALL ELECTION
TO FILL VACANCIES ON BENCH
No Opposition to Governors APP
pointees is Anticipated.
Justices McCulloch and Frauenthal Will, it
is Thought, be Unanimously Chosen
to Succeed Themselves.


Little Rock, March 2o.-Special.
Secretary Bruce 7. Bullion of the
state Democratic central committee
is today mailing notices to the
members OF the committee calling
them to meet in Little Rock in
April, to prescribe plans under
which the party nomination for the
position of chief justice and asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court
shall be chosen.
The call by Secretary Bullion is
made upon the unofficial announce
ment of Governor George w. Dona-
ghey that he will call a special
election, in pursuance of the law,
to fill the vacancies caused by the
resignation of Judge Joseph M.
Hill as chief justice and Judge E.
A. McCulloch as associate justice
of the supreme court, to be held
about July next.
The law provides that the special
election shall be held within 80
days from thu call of the governor,
and the unofficial notice of the call
is given thus far in advance in
order that the parties may have
time for the selection of their nomi-
nees for the positions.
No Opposition Probable.
There will probably be no oppo-
sition to Judge E. A. McCulloch
for the position of chief justice and
to Judge Samuel Frauenthal for
associate Justice. Both of these
gentlemen are now serving on the
supreme court bench, by appoint
ment of Governor Donaghey. one
as chief justice and the other as an
associate justice, each filling va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Chief Justice J. M. Hill and the
subsequent promotion of Associate
Justice E. A. McCulloch to sue
coed him.
Under Chief Justice E. A. Nc
Culloch the supreme court met
with no check upon the resigna-
ton of Chief Justice Hill, the va
cancy on the bench being ably
filed by the appointment OF Sam
uel Frauenthal of Conway, the
most successful practitioner in that
section of the state, who made a
great financial sacrifice to accept
the honor of ascending to the su-
preme court bench.
Chief Justice McCulloch was
thoroughly in accord with the
views of former Chief Justice Hill
and when he assumed control, he
went right ahead with matters,
guiding the court along the same
lines as his predecessor, the court
still cutting down accumulated
business, and giving general salts
faction in its opinions, just the
same as it has been doing for sew
eral years. Since the: appointment
of Associate Justice Frauenthal, he
has worked necessarily. He has
been at his desk night and day,
and in the conferences of the court
has taken leading pat.
Local attorneys compliment
highly the new chief and associate
justice upon their showing, and
this showing taken into considera-
ton. it is hardly probable that any
attorney OF prominence in the
state would risk certain defeat by
announcing in opposition to them
for the uncompleted term, at least.
