MAtJY PROMINENT LAWYERS SUI
FOOTING NEW CANDIDATE POE
THE HONOR.
NATTER WILL BE PUT UP TO The
TWO SENATORS TODAY.
EXPECTS THAT An APPoINTME1T
WILL BE MADE AT EARLY DATE

The assumption that Hon. w. E: Baker
OF ElkIns was likely to have the aP-
Northern district OF West Virginia 10
succeed Judge Dayton, unopposed' seems
to be without foundation. Mr. boker
was early in the field, and his fricnos
have made a very vigorous presentation
OF his case. However. strong Sentl-
ment seems to b. growing in FAVOR OF
other candidates. and friends Of two OF
them during the last week or SO, nave
become very earnest in presenting the'F
candidates.. The two gentlemen reler-
red to arc Judge Homer b. Woods or the
Ritchc- Doddridge circuit one OF the
best known and most highly esteemed
circuit judges in the state, and the Cther
is former Supreme Court judge Ira NOD
inson Of Grafton. Judge Robinson made
a most enviable record on the supreme
bench, He was the Republican nominee
for governor In 1915. but was defeated
by q narrow majority By Governor Corn
well. Both Judge Woods and judge
Robinson have some very strong sup
porters among the most influential
members Of the bar from the Northern
district.
. Judge Woods was q candidate before
the Republican convention In 1915 LOT
the Republican nomination for supreme
court judge. His fitness for the posi-
ton was generally recognized, but on
account Of geographical conditions moro
than anything elese, his candidacy was
not successful. He has presided over
the Richie -Doddridge circuit for six
teen years. He is n man Of very great
popularity, and the lawyers OF that sec
ton Of the state are very strong for his
appointment.
Judge Robinson has boon such
prominent figure in the public affairs
Of West Virginia that he hardly needs
discussion. A great many lawyers in
the state are actively. urging. his ap-
pointment. On the supreme bench OF
West Virginia, Judge Robinson made o
most excellent record, and his ability
as a jurlst Is without question. II ID
said that strong delegations favoring
both Judge Woods and Judge Robinson
will visit Washington In the next few
days to discuss their candidates. WIN
the two United States senators, and 1t
is stated that in the event some decision
ia made, President Wilson has expressed
his willingness to make an appointment
satisfactory to the West Virginia sena-
tors.
IT Is recognized, of course. that no ap-
polntment TO the federal bench can be
made effective without the confirmation
Of tho senate, and under ordinary con-
ditions. no appointment would be made
for this district. However, the business
of the district Is falling behind on &C

well represented Wednesday evening
when Il crowd which taxed the capaclty
Of tha Sunday school room, gathered 10

scription Of the beauty Of the famous
cathedrals Of Europe. and spoke at
length on the various places OF literary
interest was so fortunate as to visit. Inc
Lembourg conference came In Tor

real thrill.
To hear DR.. Strider speak on this trip
Is a privilege which was fully appree!-
nted by those who heard him last night.
