1t ought to be interesting to

Cushman Named Brother.
When a vacancy occurred
here three years ago, the late
Congressman Cushman put up
his brother. Frank Cushman,
who originally went to congress
as one of the first insurgents,
had come around to the AID
rich-Cannon way of thinking.
Taft was willing to name his
brother.
But the Bar association here
protested. Cushman was a
mediocre lawyer, with no judi
cial experience, they said. They
protested hard, and urged r. G.
Hudson, one of the ablest law
yers i'm the city, and a pro-
gressive.
Ed Cushman didn't get in. So
Tacoma was punished by the
selection of a Seattle man,
George Donworth. Cushman
was sent to Alaska as judge.
There were no Bar associations
there to protest.
Now Cushman is slipped back
in here. His name was sent to
the senate before it was known
here that he was being con-
sidered.
