Chief Justice Robertson enthusiastic
cally and sincerely in the Bar Asso-
citation, and am glad that he has
been reappo!nted. am especially glad
of this evidence that the Democratic
administration is giving to its enemies
that it is enthusiastic and broad
enough to ignore the consideration of
party politics in the making of judi
cial appointments where such course
appears desirable and expedient in

cheney of the judiciary. Nevertheless.

at least a majority of its own partisans
on the bench. providing always that
suitable material can be found among
the members Of its own party for that
purpose. II will be readily observed
that further application of this doc
trine might well include the reappOint-
ment of William L. Whitney.
