PLAN AN ATTACK
 ON JUDGE SLOAN

There is said to be move in dem ooratic circles though it has not ,b. endorsement of all the leading dem. ocrats to make another attack uoo, Judge Sloan. It has been prooo,. ed to invoke that provision of tb, advisory recall act relating to fed. cral judges. Under that on a pe,. ton of 5 per cent of the vo,.,. there may be placed before the yo,. CTS the question of requesting the resignation of federal judge and at the same time on petition the names of candidates for recommen. dation for appointment to the fed. eral judgeship may be placed on tn. ballot under the name of the judg. whose resignation is sought.
 It is stated on return of Sen. ators Ashurst and Smith who ae. lively opposed the confirmation of Judge Sloan. the movement will take some definite shape. IL be. came too late yesterday to get thi, matter on the ballot for the regular election and it is very doubtful whether five per cent of the voters would care to go to the trouble of submitting IL at a special election seeing that if the opponents of Judge Sloan should triumph noth- ing further would result.
 Friends of Judge Sloan say that they would not be averse to such an experiment for they are con6den, that the proposition would be over whelmingly defeated. They pointed out that the opposition to him from the beginning has been noisy rather than formidable. He would have the solid republican support of the republican party behind him. He would also be backed by large element of the democratic party, in. cluding practically all the SO called old line democrats and many of the more moderate radicals. He num- bers among the leaders of the Bull Moosers several personal friends
 His friends believe that such I test would dissolve all the misappre- hension under which tho senate has labored and no doubt many of the supporters of Judge Sloan would be found on petitions to bring this question before the people.-Pho.. nix Republican.
