Have Him Named for
Supreme Bench

Judge Edward G. Bradford, Of the
United States District and Circuit
Courts, to-day expressed his thanks
TO all who interested themselves
I'm recommending him tor appointment
TO the United States Supreme Court.
Judge Bradford returned at noon
from Scranton. where he has been sit
ting I'm court He is much pleased
at the interest taken by his friends,
who entirely Of their own accord took
action 10 urge his appointment. Judge
Bradford at no time had anything to
do with the movement to try to have
him elevated to the Supreme bench.
lie is particularly appreciative Of the
efforts of Senators DUPONT and Rich
ardson and Of Congressman Heald.
Judge Bradford also expresses his esti-
mate of the fitness Of Governor Hughes
of New York. who has been appointed
to the Supreme Court.
To a reporter OF THE EVENING JOUR
NAL who called on him and referred to
the filling Of the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench resulting from the death Of Mr..
Justice Brewer. Judge Bradford said:
cannot adequately express my APP
probation of the high compliment re-
Gently paid me by the Congressional
delegation from Delaware, and by the
bench, bar and public press in advocat-
ing my appointment to fill the vacancy
i'm the Supreme Court OF the United
states caused by the death of the late
Justice Brewer. This tribute / prize
all the more as it came unsought by
me and originated wholly without my
knowledge or suspicion. That my
course on the bench has met with such
warm and general approval as has just
been show will ever remain a source
of the liveliest satisfaction to me;
shall always cherish with affectionate
gratitude the regard and esteem so
generously bestowed upon me by so
many of my fellow citizens, regard
less of party. Such a manifestation Of
friendship and approval from those
among whom my lot has been cast ar
fords me far keener pleasure than
would the possession and enjoyment of
the exalted office of which they deem
me worthy. From what I have read
and heard of Governor Hughes, think
the country at large is to be heartily
congratulated upon his choice TO till
the vacancy in question.

ROOSEVELT TO
HOLD ALOOF
Will Not at Once Plunge Into
Politics on His Return
STILL HOLDS TO THE
PROGRESSIVE" IDEAS

BY a staff Correspondent of The United
Press
PARIS April 2s-colonel Theodore
Roosevelt is still progressive"
The colonel and the newspaper men COW
ering his present trip received the first big
batch OF American newspapers upon ar
rival here. A glance through these has
sufhced TO show the agitation now on
back home over the question Of whether
Colonel Roosevelt will upon his return to
the United States ally himself with the
"progressives." or the "reactonaries
While your correspondent is not author
lied to speak for Colonel Roosevelt. he lis
in a position to give certain impressions
CLEANED from daily conversations and con-
tact with the ex-President without violat-
ing any condolences
In the first place it can be stated posi-
lively that Colonel Roosevelt has not
promised to endorse President Taft or his
administration nor has he directly or in
directly in confidence or otherwise en-
dorsed or in any way commented upon tine
recently enacted Cannon-Aldrich tariff
law. In the second place Roosevelt has
not promised any one assistance in the
coming congressional election and has
given no intimation of an intention to
work for regular" party cadidates. and
finally he has not INDUCED in any criti-
cism whatever OF President TAFT or the
Taft administration.
To Fight For Progress.
Colonel Roosevelt has an intense feel
ing that having been honored by the high
est gift in the hands of the American peo-
pie he owes them debt of loyal and un-
| selfish service which he proposes TO pay
through a continued fight for those prin-
cipIes which have come TO be termed pro
gressive.'
These policies include real railway con-
troll, the regulation Of child labor and
broadly stated. the advocacy of personal
rights as opposed TO property rights.
So far as daily conversations with
Roosevelt and closest analysis his speech
es have disclosed. he has undergone no
change since his departure from the
United states which will cause him 20 be
dissuaded from the hght for these prin-
cip.es by either personal or party consid-
GRAFTON.
Will Speak in Kansas,
AS an indication OF the last statement
Colonel Roosevelt has promised 10 speal
I'm Kansas at the John Brown memoria
services next fall which will be under the
direct auspices Of Governor stubbs anc
Congressman Murdoch. two deeprdyec
insurgents" his conservation talk ir
Kansas CITY will be under the auspices OF
clifford Pinchot and lastly he has invited
Victor Murdock. one Of the leaders Of th'
present "insurgent" movement in the Re
publican party to a conference at his home
in New York.
Those who are expecting the ex-huntei
to plunge into tho whirlpool Of politica
discussion as soon as the gang plank Of
his returning steamer is lowered will b
disappointed. He has decided TO hold aoo
from any public discussion of any public
affair until at least two weeks after hit
