COMPLIMENT FOR sLoss

The formal Endorsement of Justice
Sloss was in the form of a resolution
introduced by Marshall Stimson of Los
Angeles. Stimson's resolution COM
mitted the league theoretically at least
TO the policy of keeping the bench out
of politics and actually to the candi-
dacy of Judge Sloss as ma gistrate
who had proved himself worthy by his
conduct on the bench Here is Slim
sons resolution:
Resolved, That we give our hearty
approval to the principle that the ju-
dietary be removed as far as possible
from the sphere OF politics and that
the dignity and usefulness of the
bench will be best upheld by the re-
tention in Office of those judges whose
fidelity to and legal ability in the in
depreciation of the principles of the
law have been proved by their conduct
while on the bench and that we in
dorse the candidacy of the Hon. NJ c..
Sloss for associate justice of the su-
preme court of the state of California. .
c. III. Bentley of San Francisco charged
President Rowell with unfairness in his
treatment of Charles II. Belshaw, and
the matter was finally disposed of by an
agreement to have the vice president
and secretary formulate a formal state
ment of the committees appreciation of
the character and conduct of Mott and
Belshaw as tentative and positive cam
