CLOSE CONTEST
FOR THE BENCH
RACE FOR SUPREME COURT
SEAT PROMISES TO BE
EXCITING
ANOTHER VACANCY limited AT
RUMORED ATTY. GEN. SMITH
WILL SUCCEED JUSTICE
WHO WILL RESIGN

St. Paul, Oct. 1O.-In the scram-
BILE for official and political recogni-
ton the contest for the place on the
state supreme bench has been lost
sight of, but for your benefit, dear
reader, the race now OH between
Judge James H. Quinn of Fairmont
and w. B. Anderson of Minneapolis
for the position to be vacated shortly
by Associate Justice Schaller of Da-
kota county is no "two-bit" affair. 1t
has elements of interest that cannot
escape general recognition before the
wire is reached and may reach pro-
portions that will even overshadow
some of the contests now so promi-
nently in the public eye. The office
being sought is nonpartisan one and
this is what keeps the contest in the
background at the present time. Ac-
cepting popular opinion a Scandina-
Wan and an Irishman of prominence
are the candidates for this one place
on the supreme bench, but the unique
feature of the whole thing is that the
former nationality is not involved in
any way. Both are of Irish descent,
but Bonny Scotland also has a slight
call on the two. The name Anderson
his misled many, and while it is an
undoubted asset, there is nothing to
show that the Minneapolis man has
been urging support for himself on
nationality grounds. The value of a
name in politics, and especially where
one nationality predominates, was
never better illustrated than in the
primaries, where Judge Quinn, Mr.
Anderson and Judge Schaller bid for
a place on the November ticket. Two
had to be nominated. Ordinarily An
derson, a comparative unknown as far
as the state at large is concerned
should have finished third; Judge
Quinn, because of his long service on
the bench, should have been second
and Judge Schaller, as the present as
sociate Justice, should have led the
field. Instead the finish was Ander,
son, Quinn and Schaller. The name
did the work.
Take this FOR what it is worth: The
rumor is strong about the state CAPT.
toll that one of the associate justices
of the state supreme court is due tt
resign before the first of the year ano
that Attorney General Smith will sue
coed him. If such happens Clifford
Hilton, at present an assistant attor.
ney general, will be made attorney
general. The promised resignation
from the supreme court is given fol
what it is worth, though it comes
from good authority. AS to the ap.
pointment of Attorney General Smith
to the vacancy, such is assumed, as il
is known that Mr.. Smith is very close
to Governor Burnquist and that if the
former accepted the place he would
insist on the elevation of his assistant
Mr.. Hilton. Attorney General Smitr
all but got into the race for the one
vacancy on the supreme bench las
summer. Had he filed he would un
doubtedly have prevailed.

Following a Short Tour Made
by Him through a Number
Of Counties.

WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-Congress-
man Howard Sutherland is back in his
seat in the House OF Representatives
after a short tour through number
Of counties in the state looking after
his candidacy for the United States
Senate, and getting hrst-hand view
OF the political situation in the state
as 1t affects the prospects OF the entire
Republican ticket. He took advantage
Of the lull in legislative work in the
House to see what's doing in various
sections Of West Virginia.
Mr.. Sutherland doesn't care to be
quoted about his own candidacy, very
likely for the reason that 1t might
look like Dragging and hence might
be OF doubtful propriety 1t Is, how
ever, merely statement OF a we'll
known fact to say that the congress-
man-at-large from West Virginia
thinks his election to the upper
branch of Congress about as strong
foregone conclusion as anything
which is to happen can be. In that
respect, his opinion comedies precise
ly with the opinion held by all Repub-
licans and majority OF Democrats.
The biggest Democratic leaders when
discussing the sutherland-C Chiffon con-
test privately. frankly admit that there
isn't the faintest likelihood Of defeat
ing Sutherland. They go even further
than that and forecast that his ma
jorlty will be the largest in the state,
based on their knowledge, which they
frankly admit, that there is faction
in their own party which, as they put
1t, ''have 1t in for Senator Chiffon and
are biding their time until the election
