POLITICS IN
 ALL CENTERS

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3O.- Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Mon tana, has announced that he will speak in the senate on Monday on the question of whether or not d supreme court justice should enter politics. He will. in his speech, urge the adoption of a resolution which, if it passes, will prevent su- preme court justices from running for office until two years after they have rendered their resignations

In Republican po- litical circles his remarks are taken to mean that he is making an at tempt to find something legally wrong with the candidacy of former Justice of the Supreme Court Chas. Evans Hughes, although the Repub- licans are paying but little attention to his statements.
