Especial Despatch to The Reformer
Copyright 1920
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Charles
Evans Hughes and William Howard Taft
probably win be appointed TO the first
two vacancies on the supreme court of
the United States that may occur after
March next in the event that Senator
Harding is elected president.
This is the impression in well-informed
quarters here where it is also stated
rather positively that there will be at
least two vancancies before long on the
bench of the highest court in the land.
The certainty that Messrs. Hughes and
Taft would be the choice of a Republican
president is based upon logical circum
stances, as we'll as the known friendship
and admiration which Senator Harding
las for the two men who have contrib
uted so much toward the Republican
cause in the past
Mr.. Hughes was on the bench, happy
and contented, when the call of the Re-
publican party came i'm 1916. He was

deed, it was feared he would not accept
and the story goes that Mr. Taft, who
originally appointed Mr.. Hughes TO the
bench, spent the evening before the
Chicago nomination with Mr.. Hughes in
Washington and persuaded him to make
the race. He made the fight and was de-
feated. His return to private practice
has been lucrative, but those who know
Hughes best say he has been homesick
for the supreme bench.
As for Mr. Taft. there was vacancy
on the bench just before Justice Clarke
of Ohio was appointed and the friends of
the Republican ex-president wrote many
a letter to President Wilson urging him
to appoint Mr. Taft. The White House.
of course, never makes any -comn1ent
on these things, but at the time consid
terable gossip ran around the national
capital to the effect that Mr. Taft had
/ fallen out of the good graces of the
President because of the support which
he (Mr. Taft gave toward the movement
for the election of a Republican con
gress in 1918. The political fortunes of
/ Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Hughes have been
| bound together for many years. The
elevation of Governor Hughes to the SUI
preme bench came in October, 1910. Mt a

ceeds.
States Attorney E. w Gibson of Brat
ltleboro took up the matter and learned
that Batten was noted crook. He Sc
