COLONIES PLAN
D|SAPPR0vED Of
Minnesota Bar Association
Votes Down Plan of Recall
of Judicial Decisions.

Minneapolis, Aug. 2o.-By a larger
vote than that condemning the pro-
posal for the recall of judges, the
Minnesota State Bar association, in
session in Minneapolis today, voiced
its disapproval of Colonel Roosevelt's
plan for the recall of judicial deci-
si"ns. In session at the bennington
hotel, the association by a vote of 81
TO IA. declared against the recall of
OF judicial decisions.
The vote followed a spirited dis
cussion and effort on the part OF some
members of the association to prevent
official action. Rome G. Brown OF
Minneapolis led the fight for a definite
expression of opinion by the attorneys
present, while State Senator r. a.
Duxbury of Caledonia, With A. B.
Choate OF Minneapolis and j. P.
Richard opposed the proposal to take
a vote.
John Jelswold, Jr.. of Duluth, who
has been mentioned in connection
with the democratic nomination for
governor, led the debate for the fac
ton which favor the recall of judges.
AS chief spokesman against the recall
was Judge Cray of Mankato. Senti-
ment among members of the a~ssocia-
ton present was admittedly against
the recall, but several of the speakers
urged that no official action be taken
by the association.
The members of the association lis
tened to an address by former Mayor
Seth Low of New York at 2:3O d. m
today. Mr.. Low is the guest Of c. a
Severance of ST. Paul. president of the
association. He spoke on ''Workmen's
Compensation" n told OF the work
done by the New York commission or
the subject. He urged that the states
pass workingmen's compensation acts
and discussed the merits OF the pro.
