SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES
TO CONFIRM BRANDEIS

Washington, D. c., May 24.-The
Senate Committee on the Judiciary
today by strict party division of 10
to 8 ordered favorable report on the
nomination of Louis ID. Brandeis of
Boston to be Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The report was made this afternoon
and the Senate will take up the ques-
ton at an early date.
The Republicans opposing Mr.. Bran
deis feel that the Democrats are now
united in his support and that three
or possibly four Progressive Republi-
cans will vote with them. They have
no intention, therefore, of filibustering
and vote may be expected in the near
future.
The vote will show safe major
ity for Mr.. Brandeis. When Presi-
dent Wilson first sent in his nomina-
ton there was an outburst of anger
in the Senate and a vote that day
would have meant an overwhelming
rejection. But from that day to this
there has been a steady improvement
in Mr.. Brandeis' position
Favor With Democrats Increases
Four Democrats of the Committee
on the Judiciary, even when the ex-
tended hearings ended, were regard
ed as definitely opposed to Mr.. Bran
eis-O'Gorman of New York, Shields
of Tennessee, Smith of Georgia and
Reed of Missouri One by one these
Senators let it be known that they
would support the appointment, till
today the only surprise was the vote
of Senator Shields.
Unusual pressure has been exerted
in Mr.. Brandeis' behalf. How effec-
tive it has been is shown by the fact
that little more than week ago the
President was informed that on a
vote in the Senate Mr.. Brandeis would
be confirmed by the slim margin of
from three to five votes.
At that time the most that was hop
ed from the Judiciary Committee was
report without recommendation.
Since then all the Democrats in the
committee have been lined up for Mr..
Brandeis and it is believed that all
the Democrats in the Senate will now
support him. If this is correct, with
the scattering support of Republicans
like La Toilette of Wisconsin, the ma
jority for Mr.. Brandeis will be nearer
20 than 5.
Long Fight Over Nomination.
The gaunelet Mr.. Brandeis' nomina-
ton has had to run is almost unique
in the history of the Supreme Court.
He was nominated late in January
and since then the fight for and
against him has been continuous. |
Hearings as to his fitness for the Su- |
preme Bench lasted nearly two
The four Republicans who
sat with the subcommittee at various
stages of the hearings found against
Mr.. Brandeis. The three Democrats |
found for him. ~

METHODISTS GO ON RECORD
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Saratoga, N. Y, May 23.-The
Methodist Episcopal Church was COM
mitted to Woman Suffrage today
through the acceptance of a resolu-
ton introduced by Judge Henry Wade
Rodgers of the United States Circuit
Court at New York City. The reso-
luton follows:
Whereas, in the history of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, women
have always been loyal and faithful
workers; and
Whereas, we recognize that Chris
tian wives and mothers should be
given an opportunity to assist in the
great work of introducing into poll
tics more Of the true spirit of prac-
teal Christianity; and
Whereas, the Methodist Episcopal
Church has always stood for justice
and righteousness in social and polit-
ical life; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we the delegates to
the General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, assert our
belief in the justice and righteousness
of granting to women the political
franchise.
"The act proposed in this resolu-
ton is an act of justice" said Justice
Rodgers to the delegates. ain my
opinion women need the ballot for the
same reason as men. Women should
share in making the laws that regu-
late their lives"
Among the assignments agreed up
on by the committees are:
Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, New
Orleans; Bishop Frank M. Bristol,
Chattanooga; Bishop VIM. A. QuayIe,
