Chief Justices

The death of Chief Justice Fuller brings
to mind those who have preceded him in
that high and distinguished office John
Jay was the first, appointed in 1889, and
then came Oliver Ellsworth, of Connects
| cut, appointed in 1896. In 1901 John
| Marshall was named and probably was
the greatest chief justice the country has
had, both as expounder and interpreter
| of constitutional law. He was chief JUS
tice till 1887, when Roger B. fancy, of
Maryland, most learned and profound
jurist, succeeded. But fancy became ex.
tremely unpopular in the North by his
bred Scott decision. He died in 1864,
amid the throes of the Civil War, and
President Lincoln appointed his Secretary
of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase to be
chief justice. Chase had been candidate
for the presidency and was most ambi-
tious man. He was provided for in this
manner and thereafter removed as a DO
litical factor. He died in 1878 and was
succeeded by Morrison H. Waite, chief
justice till Mr.. Fuller was nominated by
President Cleveland in 1888.
1t has fallen to the lot of Chief Justice
Fuller to "swear in" Presidents Cleve-
land, Harrison, Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft.
His term of Office, twenty-five years.
was exceeded by those of Marshall and
fancy. He has not been called upon to
decide on great constitutional questions
and has, in the main, been a calm, careful
conservator of the constitution in such
minor matters as have been brought be-
fore him.

The Coming Battle

With the record of the achievements of
President Taft and the recently concluded
session of Congress, Republicans are en-.
couraged to do valiant battle to retain
supremacy in the next Congress. The
politically acute say that the great battle
grounds in the fall will be the states of
New York, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, New
Jersey and perhaps Illinois and Mas
| sachusetts.
In addition to a new House of Repre-
sentatives to sit in the sixty-second Con-
gress, thirty-two states will elect their
| Governors and other state officers this
fall Of these, seven are characterized as
southern states and may bel lett out of the
| calculation They are Alabama, Arkan
sas, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas.
These other states in the north and
west also elect Governors California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska Nevada
New Hampshire, New Jersey New York,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma Oregon
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin,
Wyoming and our own Vermont.
After a rest at Beverly the President, it
is confidently expected, will engage in a
campaign of defense of his party with the
prestige of things actually done, and with
record of platform promises redeemed
that has gained him the respect of his
own party and of the peonle in general.
1t is therefore necessary that Vermont,
which is the first state to elect, should
make good showing. If we would
make good impression, the political
thermometer, which Vermont is, must
roll up good majority for its state tick
ct in the September election. AS this is an
"off year" the State Committee will
probably not put in any special work in
the line of campaign meetings. Yet the
political situation throughout the nation
is attracting more than ordinary atten-
ton and therefore it is quite as important
as in Presidential year that the Green
Mountain state make no uncertain record
in the majority for her state ticket this
fall.
