Below We print the letter of acceptance of the re

The Office is nonpartisian. 1t has nothing to
do with political theories and policies Its
duties are mostly clerical and wholly minister

New Court Of Appeals Judges.

Denver.-Goyernor Shafroth has
filed with the secretary OF state his
appointments to the new Court OF Ap.
peals authorized by the last session
of the Legislature.
There were more than 100 candi,
dates for the five judicial positions,
each being a prominent lawyer In Col.
orado. The governor has had all these
candidates under consideration for
three months, and his announcement Of
the five men is the result Of long
study.
The five men the governor has ap.
pointed to the Court of Appeals are
among the best known lawyers in Col.
orado. Each of them is a resident OF
the state for many years and of va.
ried experience in law.
Tully Scott of Cripple Creek has
been named as presiding Judge Of the
new court.
The other judges appointed by the
governor are Alfred r. King. Esq.
of Delta, Delta county, Colo; stua;t
d. Walling, Esq, OF the city and coun.
ty of Denver, Colo; Edwin w. Hurl
but, Esq, of the city and county OF
Denver Colo, and Louis w. Cunning
ham, Esq, of Colorado Springs, Ell
Paso county, Colo.
The Court of Appeals will, on Octo
ber /, when its members assume OF.
flee. begin on the back calendar Of
the Supreme Court. 1t will not TO-:
the present, in all probability, assume
any Of the new business of the Su-
preme Court, but will clear up the
docket and then it takes up its duty,
handling part Of the work that now
comes to the Supreme Court.
The Court of Appeals has been a
Deocratic platform measure and 1t
has been the almost constant demand
of lawyers throughout the state who
recognized the futility Of the efforts
of the Supreme Court to clear its
docket.
