 NeWlandS Explains Vote.
 The negative vote of Senator New lands was a complete surprise to the senate and the Nevada senator, recOg- nizing that his action had aroused comment, later made public a formal explanation.
 Il have high admiration for MT. Brandeis as a publicist and prOpagan dist of distinction," said Senator New lands. "I do not regard him as a man of Judicial temperament, and for that reason I have voted against his confirmation"
 MT. Brandeis is the first Jew to be elevated to the highest tribunal in the land. He succeeds the late Associate Justice Lamar of Georgia The fight over his confirmation was one of the Eitterest in the senates history.
