APPOINT TAFT TO
SUPREME BENCH?
POLITICIANS SPECULATE AS TO
WILSON'S ACTION SHOULD
VACANCY ARISE.

Washington, Nov 19.-Politicians
find ground for interesting speculation
as to possibility of President elect
Wilson II opportunity is afforded him
of appointing Mr.. Taft a member of
the United States supreme court.
1t Is possible there will be three
vacancies on the bench under the will
son administration. Chief Justice
White will b3 eligible to retire in
1915, at which time he will be 20
years old.
Justice Holmes is now eligible to
retire and Justice McKenna will be
eligible TO retire next August. The
speculation as to the possible retire
ment of Justice Holmes is based on
the fact that he il now past 20 and
probably would not want to continue
actively in judicial harness another
four years from next March. If he
should go off the bench in Mr.. Will
sons term, his place would probably
fall to a Democrat. If he retires be-
fore the end of President Taft's term
his successor would probably be Re-
publican.
AS now constituted the court Is
composed of three Democrats and
six Republicans.
Apparently the chief obstacle Of
the appointment of ex-President Taft
to the bench by President Wilson
would he the fact that with the small
political representation the Democrats
now have on the bench the president
might feel II to be his duty to fill va
cancies occurring with members of his
own party.
