FACT WOULD NOT LOOK
WE'LL IN \ BIOGRAPHY

1T occurred to MS" said DR.. Cannon
that the fact tina, MIR. Brandeis should
have appeared before a legislative
committee as the paid lobbyist of the
liquor trai,ic would not look wei! IN a
biography"
Senator Fletcher TOOK issue with the
statement that Mr.. BrandeiS was neces-
sarily the lobbyist" Of the liquor in
tcrests. DR.. Cannon produced fac
similc records OF tho Massachusetts
Legislative docket for Legislative coun-
sci, as required by law. in which Mr.
BraUdeis had recorded his appearance
for the liquor dealers and the brewers
associations. DR.. Cannon said he pre-
sumed that any one who appeared as
counsel before a Legislative committee
for the liquor interests would he re-
gardcd as lobbyist" He insisted
that they would be so designated in
Virginia
Senator Cunmins said il would make
much difference 10 him whether Mr..
Hrandcis appeared as the paid attorney
in regard to question of public
policy or public morals. or whether he
appeared TO express his individual
views.
Dr. Caunon replied that usually
those who appear before Legislative
committees as attorneys are paid for
their services.
MAY HOLD CERTAIN VIEWS
AND YET nE FAIR IN LAW
Senator Fletcher suggested that all
attorney might hold to ccrtain per-
sonal views as to the correct public
policy to he pursued and yet he en-
tirciy fair in constituting the law as
made.
Yes" consented DIR. Cannon hut
it is difficult for "a man to divest him.
self wholly of his views on questions
OF public policy and be entirely un-
biased. Judges arc human. like every
body else. We do not want Ia pcrsc-
cute Mr.. Iirandcis for having appeared
for liquor organizations. but on so inn
portant a matter as naming position
10 the Supreme Court bench. we
thought i, was fair to inquire whether
hc was entirely unhias ascd on grent
questions affecting liquor traffic. and
whether We could get decisions from
him without prejudice"
