WILL HAVE NO OPPOSITION.

Z The Republican Conferees OF the
First judicial Circuit yesterday nom
mated by reclamation Judge r. NJ.
Addleman to succeed himself. there
being no other candidate before them.
While this action was foreshadowed
by the cordial endorsement Of the
several country conventions naming
the conferees, it, was nevertheless a
justified recognition Of Judge Addle-
mans services and a deserved tribute
to his qualities as a jurist.
Judge Addleman will have no op-
position for election, and in this con-
nection The Intelligencer takes pleas
ure in complimenting that element of
wisdom and intelligent appreciation or
the non.partisan character Of the stu
alton which so ably frustrated q dis
position on a part Of the Democratic

1t is remarkable what tender feel

State Chairman for this grave mutila-
ton Of his personal identity with the
voters Of the State. Shorn of his hDt-
rife title Cyclone claims that the
voters did not know who j. H. was,

dent for the action Of the defeated

'..Sockless Jerry" it is not recorded
that he was ever balloted for under
: that pseudonym. Nor has the able
Senator from South Carolina ever
been known to add "frightfulness 20

BRYAN'S EFFRoNTERY.

5 The looting Of the diplomatic ser
vice during the short tenure Of Will
liam J. Bryan as Secretary of State
was one Of the most shameful per
formances Of blind partisanism in the
history of the country. And this is
the man who has undertaken with
supreme effrontery TO criticise some
OF the statements OF Mr.. Hughes rela-
tive to the raiding of the civil service
by the Wilson administration. When
the first disclosures were made Of Mr..
Bryan's activity in getting places for
deserving" Democrats. that time
serving partisan gloried In the record
he made. And now he reatfirms in a
shameless manner his work Of provld-

cases, ordinary decency. In answering
