PARTISAN
 POLITICS
 ATTACKED

WASHINGTON. April 1S Sen ator John D. Works, Republican, Of California, today made terrific de- nunciatlon of politicians who he de. clared were trying to tempt Justice Charles D. Hughes with the Presi- dental nomination.
 "Partisan politics." said Senator Works, "is ruthless in It's demands. lt invades the most sacred precincts of the national government. lt Is oeeking a place In life and power wherever lt can fine entrance.
 Just now, partisan politics is at tempting to invade the Supreme Court of the United States. It Is present Ing to Q member of that body, the greatest temptation that could be of- fered to an American citizen. It Is attempting to force him to sarren- der his place on the Supreme Court bench and become candidate for po- litical office
 eThls attempt of trying to bring the highest tribunal Of the country or any member of it Into politics, should be resented, not only by the member to whom the tempting offer 10 made, but by the whole country"
 The remarks of Senator Works brought forth much approval from the ranks of the Republicans as 1t did from the Democratic side. Sen. ator Chas. S. Thomas, Democratic. of Colorado, said: q think that every word of the Senator of Cali fornis, uttered on this subject, Is absolutely unanswerable."
