SECRETARY LANE MAY RE
SUCCESSOR TO LURTON.

Washington, July 14--Although
President Wilson has not begun seri-
Gus consideration of the appointment
of successor to the late Justice Lur-
ton, of the United States supreme
court, it was reported in circles close
to the white house that he would lose
no time in making choice.
Secretary Lane, of the interior de-
partment is regarded as more likely
to be named than any of the many
possibilities mentioned, in spite of the
fact that the president is known to be
very unwilling to break up his cabi-
net Secretary of War Garrison and
Attorney-General McReynolds also
have been suggested, but the fact that
New Jersey already is represented on
the court by Justice Pitney is believed
to make Secretary Garrison's selec-
ton highly improbable.
Former Solicitor General Lehman,
of st. Louis, Solicitor General Davis,
Judge Alton b. Parker, democratic
presidential nominee in 1904, and
others are being talked of as possibili-
ties.
Reports that former President Taft
might be offered the position are said
to be entirely without foundation, be-
cause the president wants man
looked upon as more of a progressive.

DEATH OF JUSTICE LURTON.

The country suffers a serious loss
in the death of Mr.. Justice Lurton, of
the supreme court, and those who
knew him personally will keenly de-
plore his demise His wide knowledge
of law and experience on the bench,
together with his judicial tempera-
ment and power of clear statement,
made him one of the ablest jurist of
his time. His decisions were classics
long before he reached the supreme
court. After his elevation to the high
est tribunal he worked with even
greater industry-so industriously, in
fact, that his health was undermined
and his life cut short. His service,
while brief, was brilliant, and no one
will miss him more than his colleag-
ues on the great bench.
Justice Lurton's death leaves a va
cancy to be filled by the president
from among the leading lawyers or
judges of the country. Many consid-
erations enter into such an appoint
ment, and the country will be FORUM
ate if the president succeeds in find
ing jurist who can messurably fill
the place left vacant by Justice Lur-
ton.
In Washington and throughout the
south, where Justice Lurton was best
known, the news of his death will be
received with sorrow. His traits Of
kindliness and good humor, his broad
and his loyalty to old
friends made up most attractive
character. In the rough and tumble
Of the law, in war and on the bench
he played his part modestly. manfully
and well. 1t is his kindly personal
side, as well as his learning and abili-
ty, that will keep his memory green.

advisement from national headquar-

"fopped" back into the republican
party since the last election, but the

Roosevelt are more enthusiastic than

regular democratic ticket, has replied
to letter sent out last week by the
Anti-Saloon League of Tennessee
through its superintendent. Mr.. w.
R. Hamilton. The letter OF the anti
saloon league was directed to candi-
dates for governor. Mr.. Rye's reply
is as follows:--
"July 8, 1914.
"Hon. w. r. Hamilton, Nashville,
Tenn.
Dear Sir:-Replying to your letter
of the End instant, will say ! favor the
enactment of the four-mile laws in
dicated in your letter.
"In regard to law that will place
the power somewhere for the removal
from Office of any and all state. coun-
ty and municipal officials who violate
their sworn obligations to enforce the
laws, l will say that there can be no
excuse or justification for an official
who does not at least make an honest
effort to discharge his duty and some
speedy remedy should be provided by
which such officials can be made to
render to the public the services for
which they were elected or be sus-
pended or removed from Office.
81 do not think any governor should
have this power. but that it should be
vested in the people through the
means of a recall or lodged in the
courts or a commission. If the latter
means to be chosen such power
should be as far removed from local
conditions and party politics as possi-
BILE, SO that it may be used wisely and
justly and at all times in the interest
of the citizens of the commonwealth,
and never in the interest of or for the
benefit of an individual.
II shall advocate the election of
legislature pledged to the enactment
of laws like these for the reason that
the platform on which I stand as a
candidate means to me and to every
man who can understand plain Eng
lish, that the democratic party and its
are unequiyocally commit
ted to the maintenance of all the laws
which have been enacted for the regu-
lation, suppression and destruction of
the liquor traffic as beverage in Ten
and for the enactment Of such
other laws as may be necessary to
their enforcement, and this cannot be
done without legislature in hearty
accord and sympathy with the demo-
cratic platform. / will, therefore,
urge the passage of such laws as may
be necessary to this end.
II favor the proposed amendment to

BEFORE CONGRESS
CLOSES SESSION
IS PRESIDENTS INTENTION
Tennesseans Are Being Considered
and He Nest Be a Democrat
to Make Proper Ratio.
BY Jesse S. Cottrell.

Washington, July 14.-The presi-
dent will fill the supreme judgeship
vacancy before the present session of
congress concluded, it became known
today. His intention in this respect
will be to have the senate confirm the
appointee before the convening of the
supreme court in October.
1t is stated at the white house to-
day that no name will be considered
until after this week AS this is the
first vacancy in the highest tribunal
which the president has been called
upon to fill, he will carefully weigh
relative qualifications of men suggest
ed.
Justice Lurton was a democrat and
the appointment must be democrat,
as only two democrats, White and La
mar, are now left ON the court. The
traditional rule of having the minor
ity consist of at least three justices
will be adhered to, therefore it is
doubted in some quarters today if for
mer Solicitor General Frederick L.
Lehman will be seriously considered.
The best impression is that Secretary
Franklin Lane. of the department of
the interior, will be continued in his
present capacity because the president
is anxious that he be the Goethals of
the Alaskan railway that is to be built
at a cost of $37 100000.
Tennessee is Considered.
Because Justice Lurton was Ten
nessean, speculation naturally tends
toward that state In connection with
the vacancy. The name of Judge
John A. Pitts, of Nashville, has been
suggested to Secretary Bryan. Judge
Pitts was an original Wilson. man, it
is stated. and has for years been a
close friend of the premier of the cab
met.
