THE CASE
 OF JUDGE SLOAN,


 The sudden and easy scattering uf the opposition in the senate to the confirmation of the appointment of hyron T. Herrick. of Ohio. to be am. bassador to France, is no doubt en- couraging to the friends of former Governor Sloan whose nomination for federal judge for this district has been threatened with vigorous opposl tion.
 While the opposition to Judge Sloan proceeds from various sources, even from within his own party ana still, even. from within his own fac ton of the party. the backbone of it is supposed to be the more radical element Of the progressiyes. on ac- count of his supposed unfriendliness to the constitution.
 His progressive enemies in Ar zona are said to have had assurances from the republican progressive lead CTS Of the senate thst no effort would be spared to accomplish the defeat Of Judge Slcans nomination.
 1t was the same progressive lead CTS who sought 10 reject the nomiRa- ton of Mr. HerricI, for the general reason that he was Q reactionary. and for the more specific reason that he had spoken slightingly of United States Senator La Toilette. Yet, the attempt was pitiful failure. The republican progressives could muster but sixteen votes. That is about their own number in the senate. l. is quite certain that all of them did not vote against the nomination ct MT. Serrick. but the places Of those who did not. were supplied by dem ocratic progressiyes and there are very few democratic radicals in the senate.
 The democratic members generally have kept their hands of the Herrick controversy since the vote on that question was about equal to the total republican strength in that body.
 The opponents of Judge Sloan la bor under the disadvantage of hay ing DO rallying point. This state has no representation in the senate to ask for the usual extension Of ''sena- torial courtesy" Though it has been stated that our senators-to-be have been committed to opposition 10 Judge Sloan, they Rill hardly be able to take their seats within :bs next six weeks. Before that time, in the natural order O. things, the fight will be over.
