Henry D. Clayton on
the Federal Bench.

The appointment of Representative
HenrySD. Clayton to be United States
district judge for the middle and
southern district OF Alabama in place
of Judge Thos. G. Jones, deceased, is
a matter for congratulation by pro-
gressive democrats everywhere
Judge Jones, who recently died, was
a distinguished Albanian a jurist Of
ability. and a man OF strong convic-
tions and many other excellent quail
ties, but he was reactionary to- the
core and entirely out of sympathy
with present-day policies and public
sentiment.
Judge Clayton has represented the
Third Alabama district in Congress-
since 1895 and in the primary of last
month was renominated for the Of
flee. He is now chairman Of the tud-
ictary committee of the house and in
charge of the presidents antitrust

Judge Clayton has been an active sup
porter OF reform democratic policies
and his appointment to the federal

Tampa Times.

Since the withdrawal Of Justice
Hooker from the candidacy for re-
election to the supreme bench there
remain but three aspirants in the con-
test for the two positions to be filled;
namely, Justice Shackleford Judge
Avery of Pensa cola, and former At
torney General Ellis Of Mariana.
OF course as to one OF these gentle
men there can be on the part Of the
voters of Tampa and Of this entire
section of the state nothing but the
most cordial unanimity of sentiment.
They will vote for the retention of
Judge Thomas NJ. Shackleford in the
position that he adorns with such emf
nent and distinguished ability. He is
a Tampa man; his home is here, he IS
identified with US locally and is as
proud of his city as his city is of him.
So as to one place on the ticket there
is no difference of opinion.
AS to the other the situation IS not
the same. Judge Avery and former At
torney General Ellis are known to
our people almost entirely by reputa-
ton, the latter being rather better
known than the former by reason of
the high state office that he once filed.
Judge Avery is a resident of Pen
sacola- We believe that he has lived
there practically all of his life. It
may be claimed with Justice that those
who have known man longest and
most intimately known him best, and
that when they speak we'll of him he
deserves their approval. The other
day the Bar association of the city of
Pensacola held meeting to take &C
ton upon the matter Of Judge Avery's
candidacy and unanimously adopted
resolutions highly eulogizing his quail
idcationS for the position to which he
aspires and commencing him to the
favorable consideration of the bar and
people of the state.
The full bench of the SuDreme court
now consists of five justices. Those
composing it at present come from
the eastern and southern portions of
the state, the furtheSt west being
