Des Noines, Oct. 2S.-It is almost
certain tha, Iowa will Yet be honored
BY furnishing another great lawyer for
the United States supreme court BENCH.
AS the leading stale OF the midland
country. com p-ising the big Eighth jul
dicial district, Iowa is fairly entitled
to name the next appoiCtee. IT Iowa

The Iowa delegation in congress will
this time be uni,ediy and honestly for
him. When previous vacancy on tie

President Taft appoint Deemer it de-
volved wholly upon Senator Cummlns
10 make the fisat for tbs inguished
Iowa jurist. He came very close 10 Sc
curing the appointment. much closer

This time the candidacy of Deeme-.

urged, will 10. only have the ea-nes.

-poinrn7ent for Judge Deen,e-.
The fact that judge Deeners name
was used in the senatorial fight in the
legislature. much to the CHI grin OF

Has Splendid Backing.
No candidate for 4 place on the su-
p-ere bench ever had finer indorse-
ments. or made stronger showing for
the place. than Judge Deever. TINS
was admitted by persons close to the
administration. They represented the
bench and bar OF dozen states. That
which stood in the way of his selection
| last winter was certain influences
/ deeply interested in the supreme court
and DESTROYS that the court should con-
| tain at least majority Of men OF q
certain intellectual type until after the
trust cases We're disposed OF. Thru
| their agents ana representatives in
iowa. some Of them on the bench. they
i showed that Deerer was more likely
to stand with men OF the Harlan type.
| 1t is not known that Judge Deener
I will permit the use of his name again.
He has never personally urged the
matter. and he will not DO SO again
f.; BIT # anyone from Iowa is named 1t
will be Deemer.
Iowa Against East.
! LAWYERS here who have made some
study Of the situation say that it seems
probable that Iowa will get the new
Judge unless 1t is demanded BIZ some
OF the eastern states. There has been
com plant. on the part Of eastern poll
tic'ans. that a central groun Of states
Including PENNSYLVANIA and New Jer-
sey, has no representation on the
bench They have had no candidate
but have felt that they were being
neglected New York. New a.Tfsla',d
the south and the Rocky Mountain
sections are all represented. This
phase Of thu matter has been presented
by Penrose the degenerate boss OF
Pennsylvania; but since he has SD
denly turned over TO be rambuctious
reformer with a big r in order to save
himself in Philadelphia he may be toe
busy to pick out man for the bench
Lehman Possibility.
The Eighth district. COMPRISING the
81 .tes west Of the Missouri and TO the
mountain and foo.hill states has ha1
no representation on the supreme cour.
