Editor Times:
The Times certainly showed up
the rottenness In Washington pol
itics when it called attention to
the fact that county committees
were authorized to select state del
egates to nominate supreme
judges The corporate interests
have the chance of a life time this
fall. The whole complexion of the
supreme court Is to be changed at
one election. Owing to the resig-
nation of Judge Root and the Gre
alton of five new justices the SUI
preme bench will, from this on, be
composed of nine members in
stead of five, as formerly. The
terms of two justices expire this
fall and as all appointments must
be submitted to the people at the
first state election, five men, or a
majority Of the court, will be
named this fall.
In the late legislature the direct
primary law was amended taking
the right of nomination from the
people and placing it back into the
hands of the politicians.
