the country's safe.
Circuit Judge Ashford: | supported
cally and sincerely in the Bar Asso-
citation, and am glad that he has
been reappointed am especially glad
of this evidence that the Democratic
administration is giving toits 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
order to continue or promote the efti-
cheney of the judiciary. Nevertheless,
believe in the party in power having
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 1t will be readily observed
that further application of this doc
trine might well include the reappoint-
ment of William L. Whitney.
Circuit Judge Whitney: That Chief
Justice Robertson has been reappoint-
ed is the best piece of news that has
come over the waters in two years.

eral could not have made better
choice. 1t is about time that they go!

Clerk Johnny" Thompson: Being
clerk of the supreme court, / should
not make any statement in this mat
ter. But take look at this smile on
my face and you will know how glad
/ am.
Malcolm A. Franklin: The fact that
Chief Justice Robertson is not Dem
ocrat is the only blemish / find on
his character. However, / can over
look that, because If be were Demo
crat he would be a perfect character.
This seems never to be found. re-
joice with him in bis reappointment
and congratulate the people of Ha-
wall. | wrote several letters to the
attcrney-general indorsing Judge Rob-
ertson and am extremely glad to
