Washington, April 10.-iSpeeiaI.)-
The south having been given the last
supreme court appointment. the middle
west VIII be asked to furnish the man
to succeed the late Justice David =;
Brewer That is the view generally
held in Washington.
In view of the fact that Justice Brew
er was credited to Kansas, it is held
the west has an added claim on the
place. And be 1t said there is no dearth
OF able jurists between the AlIeghenies
and the Rockies who are willing to ac-
cept the appointment if Mr.. Taft shouli
look their way. Just at present lIon.
Lloyd j. Bowers of Minnesota and Chi
cago, and Judge Willis Eandevanter OF
Wyoming are the names most frequent
lymentioned in connection with the APP
pointment. but this does not necessari-
ly mean either will get it. Judge Wal
ter III. Sanborn of St. Paul Chief Jus
tice Horace Il. Deemer of Iowa are both
in the running, and there are several
of these possibilities upon whom the
choice of the President may fall.
lnasmuch as there is not now a
western man on the supreme court
bench the only thing regarded as GER
tain is that the new justice will come
from west OF Indiana.

Many reasons are given by admirert
of F'oss why he is the proper man fol
the democrats to nominate for Vic&
President. In the first place, he hal
what is generally supposed to be the In
dispensable requisite or candidate fol
Vice President, a 'barl' of money. Thtt
is no exaggeration. Foss is reputed q
be worth at least s10,000,000. He VIII
be one of the wealthiest men In Con-
eress. More than this, he is willing Il
spend large "gobs' Of 1t.
