FAVORABLE REPORT
ON BRANDElS BY
SUBCOMMITTEE
Politics to Play Big Part in Con-
firmation of Noted Lawyer
Indications Are That He Will
Be Accepted

washington, April 2.-The first move
toward the eventual confirmation Of
Louis D. Brandeis for the supreme bench
came Saturday when the judiciary sub
committee voted three to two to report
the nomination favorably to the main
committee. The vote was strictly on par
ty lines, the Democratic senators, Chill
ton. Walsh and Fletcher. voting for Mr..
Brandeis. and the Republicans, Cummins
and Works, voting against him. Senator
Cummins' attitude, which has been the
subject OF much speculation. is said to be
based largely, If not wholly. on Mr..
Brandeis' course in the eastern advance
rate case.
This outcome has been predicted in
well informed quarters for several weeks
although 1t is common knowledge in
Washington that the underground feeling
against Mr.. Brandeis in the Senate has
abated little during the weeks which
have elapsed since President Wilson
startled the country with the nomination.
1t has been generally conceded for
some time that politics would dictate
the confirmation unless the hearings UNI
covered something more tangible than
mere criticisms Of Mr.. Brandeis and his
ethical conduct as a member of the legal
profession. The hearings were SO con-
Quoted and the testimony presented Of
such character that the committee found
is easy to steer witnesses to debatable
ground at all times. The result was that
nothing sufficiently conclusive against
Mr.. Brandeis was brought out.
1t is now expected that the full ju-
dietary committee will itself divide on
party lines. the Democratic majority vot-
ing for confirmation and the Republic
cans opposing. One element Of uncer-
tainty centers about the length Of time
it will take the committee to act.
Many Of those closely in touch with
the situation in the Senate believe the
Hcommittee will act promptly on the re-
port Of the sub-committee to act.
Many Of those closely in touch with
the situation in the Senate believe the
committee will act promptly on the re-
port Of the subcommittee. Others ex-
pect a long delay with q minute review
Of all the testimony and elaborate ma
jority and minority reports to tho SEN
ate The real doubt In the situation.
however, is in how long 1t will take to
bring about the actual vote In the Sem
ate.
If the opponents Of Mr.. Brandeis make
determined fight to prevent q vote.
they can block 1t for many weeks. Some
even doubt whether q vote can be fore
ed this session, and especially II the
session terminates early in the summer
as has been predicted.
The vote in the Senate will doubtless
be largely on party lines. Some few
Democrats will vote against Mr.. Bran
deis and few Of the Progressive-Re-
publicans will support him. But the
| final result favoring confirmation will
be little affected by these OBJECTIONS
Although neither Senator Lodge nor
Senator Weeks has expressed his inten-
| ton definitely on the matter. 1t Is ex-
pected they will vote with the majority.
