BRANDEIS SECURES .
SENATE APPROVAL
Confirmed For Supreme Justice by
Vote Of AZ to 22-Thrss Republicans
~ Vote for Wilson's Nominee - One
4 Democrat Voted Against Him.


~ Vote, for Wilson's Nominee = cne
Democrat Voted Against Him.
/ | : AWashinis niston. June Tine Enomina-
tion Of Louis y. Brandeis to the SUI
preme court to succeed the late Joseph
Rucker Lamar was confirmed by the
senate late yesterday by vote Of AZ
to 22. The vote, taken without de-
bate, ended one Of the bitterest con-
tests ever waged against presidential
nominee. Mr.. Brandeis will be, the
first Jew to occupy 2 seat on the su-
preme bench,
Only one democrat, Senator New
lands, voted against confirmation.
Three republicans, LaFollette, Norris
and PoindeXter voted with the demo-
Gratis, and Senators Gronna and
Clapp would have done SO, but were
paired with Senators Borah and Ken
yon.
Thruout the fight President Wilson
stood firmly behind his nominee, never
wavering when it seemed certain an
unfavorable report would be returned
by the senate judiciary committee.
AS soon as Mr.. Brandeis' name was
sent to the senate a dood of protests
against his confirmation poured in.
The subcommittee to which the nomi-
nation was referred heard forty seven
witnesses and took 1900 pages Of testi-
mony.
William H. Taft Simeon E. Baldwin,
Francis Rawie, Joseph H. Choate, Elihu
foot, Eioorfieid Storey and Peter w.
Meldrim, all former presidents Of the
American Bar Association, wrote pro-
tests to the committee against confir-
nation, and Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, and many others
wrote in favor of confirmation.
On April the subcommittee by a
nation, and on May "a the full COM
mittee agreed to favorable report by
another strict party division.
A compromise agreement was en-
tered into by those opposed and those
favoring confirmation. by which the
vote was taken today without debate
but with publication of the vote and
the reports of the majority and Of the
minority of the judiciary committee.
The minority report declared that
twelve charges against Mr.. Brandeis
had been sustained by the evidence and
that in addition proof had been offered
of the bad reputation Of Mr.. Brandeis
among the lawyers of the Boston bar
The majority report held that the pc
titions aAd letters in support of Mr..
Brandeis and particularly from Boston
far outweighed the opposition.
