The next two important District NOM
expected to be those of F. L. Siddons
for associate justice of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia and
Louis Brownlow, newspaper writer and
correspondent, for Commissioner Of the
District, to succeed Mr.. Siddons.
The second of these nominations is de-
pendent upon the first, as the promotion

as one of the executive heads of the
District.
1t is expected that If the President
holds to his determination as to Mr..
Siddons both nominations will go to
the Senate together.
Hopes for Early Decision.
The President hopes to be able to dis
pose of the local judgeship within a
short time, depending upon whether he
can find time to confer with Attorney
General McReynolds on the subject.
The two have tried to dispose of the
vacancy for long time, but other mat
tiers have arisen and Mr.. McReynolds
has never been able to present to the
President his knowledge of the local
men who have been mentioned.
Mr.. McReynolds is said to prefer
another man to Mr.. Siddons, but will
have to give good reasons why Mr.. Sid
dons should not be named to bring
about a change in the present plans of
the White House.
