JUDCESHIP
One Urges P. Q. ChurChman,
the Other M. B. BurTiS
for the Bench
TILGHMAN JOHNSTON
ALSO IS ADVOCATED

Petitions are now flying in the
contest that has developed over the
appointment of a resident judge Of
New Castle county to succeed Judge
Daniel o. Hastings, VINO has rendered
his resignation to Governor Penne-
VIII.
One petition is being circulated IN
the interest of Philip O. Churchman OF
this city, and the other in the interest
OF Martin b. Burris, of Middletown'
for the iudgeship. These will be
presented to Governor Penpewili as
soon as all the members of the bar
have been canvassed for signatures.
The petition in behalf Of Mr.. Church
man has been circulated for several
days, while that for Mr.. Burris was
started out yesterday afternoon.
A third name also is being urged,
that of Tilghman Johnston, but no
petition has been issued in his be-
half Mr. Johnston is in Virginia at
present and it is not known whether
he would accept an appintment as
Judge All the men mentioned are Re-
publicans
Up TO noon today there were about
forty signatures on the petition in
behalf of Mr.. Churchman, and fifteen
on the petition in behalf of Mr.. Bur
ris. II was said that several law
yers have promised to sign the petit
tions later Anthony Higgins, VIII
liam S. Hilles and Herbert II. Ward
head the Churchman petition, while
the name of former Chancellor John
r. Nicholson is near the head of the
list of signers for Mr. Bur-is George
l.. Townsend, Jr., another signer OF
the Burris petition, is in charge Of
that paper, while Deputy Judge Harry
p. Joslyn is custodian of the Church
man petition.
There was some talk yesterday Of a
special netting of the Bar Association
being called to consider the question
4 of trying to agree upon some lawyer
| to be recommended for appointment
/ for Judge, but It, was said to-day that
! the idea mas been dropped and the pc
tition procedure Will be followed. The
annual meeting of the Bar Association
is set for December 20, and the subiec
might be brought up then.
The petitions i'm behalf of Mr.
Churchman and Mr.. Burris recon-
| mend them 10 the consideration of th
Governor for appointment and attes
to their ability and qualifications.
While there is some talk down th
State Of the appointment of Robert q
Houston being urged for residen
judge of Sussex county and the trans
fer Of Judge Henry c. Conrad to b.
resident judge of New Castle county
no petition in that behalf has appeare,
in Wilmington. Some of Mr.. Houstoni
friends here are booming him for thl
appointment, however.
The impression seems to be that thu
Governor will appoint Mr.. Churchmal
to the judgeship. unless the situation
changes materially from what it is to
day.

OF HAPPY EXPECTANCY
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
EEO H, dear" sighed Geraldine, Il
will be so glad when vacation
" comes."
"How would you like to go to the
mountains when school it out?" asked
Mrs. Clark.
"Oh! OH" exclaimed Geraldine,
smiling through her tears. Are we
really going, mother?"
"Time will tell" laughed Mrs. Clark.
Geraldine was so happy that she ran
across the street to her chums house
to tell the good news.
"Oh Mildred" she exclaimed. 1--WE
are going to the mountains to spend
vacation"
"And so are we," cried Mildred, hap
PLY.
Mrs Andrews had heard her daugh-
ter talking to Geraldine and she smiled
as she went to talk it over with her
husband.
What happy week followed? Mil
dred and Geraldine were together most
of the time, discussing plans of what
they would do when they were in the
mountains. OF course both girls
thought that they would go to different
places. But when Mrs. Andrews and
Mrs. Clark told them that they were
going to the same place they were so
happy they didn't know what to do.
"Oh, Mildred, won't 1t be grand!"
exclaimed Geraldine one night.
"It certainly WILL" laughed Mildred.
They both went to bed that night
to dream OF little picnics in the woods
and of living in a tent and sitting
around a camp fire at night.
