known the governor wants to appoint
Senator Conrad Olson to the supreme
bench, but that is where the position
differs from the governorship. There is
no vacancy.
Sometime since it was understood
that Justice McCammant was willing
to resign if assured that Judge Gan
tenbein would be named Eo- the place,
but as the latter has resumed mis- place
on the circuit bench through the resig-
nation of Judge Littlefield, this will
not be done Senator Olson was in the
city recently and had considerable con-
fabulations under the big dome, and it
is understood the governor then agreed
to appoint him providing there was a
vacancy. According to a published
statement accredited to Justice Mccain
mant there will be no vacancy at least
this year. The latter is credited with
saying he had determined on three
things-not to be candidate for his
present position at the coming cleo
tion, not to resign at present, and not
to resign at the first of the year. Fur
ther than that he refused to state; but
just at present the outlook for Senator
Olson getting on the supreme bench
