THREE SUPREME JUDGES
TO ELECT

Owing to one death and one rcsig
nation, there will be three judges OF
the Supreme Court to elect this fall.
Judge Fred l.. Williams, who will
stand for the full term of ten years,
came to the Court as a Commissioner
10 succeed Hon. Henry w. Bond,
who was elected to the bench. After
serving three years with conspicuous
ability, he was elected to ill out the
four years unexpired term OF Juu6e
c. Brown, deceased. His work on the
bench has been such as to attract the
favorable attention of the bar of the
State, and it is generally conceded
that he will be given the nomination
for a fufl term without opposition.
When Governor Gardner appointed
Hon. Richard l.. Goode and Hon.
John l. Williamson to the vacancies
on the bench caused by the death Of
Judge Bond and the resignation of
Judge Faris. the selection met with
hearty approval of the bar and the
whole people of the State. Judge
Goode had already made reputation
~ great jurist by his work in the
S. Louis Court Of Appeals. and
Judge Williamson's popularity and
fitness was attested BY the support he
received from the Bar Associations

TROUBLE BREEDERS

Some disgruntled politicians in St.
Louis are trying to mdko trouble for
TIE Democratic party through the
Globe Democrat, which is always a
willin' Barkis in that, kind OF enter
prise Some of them have heretofore
been rather prominent in the Demo-
cratic councils and have profited by
the party in the past. Their principal
plant is the prohibition question,
thereby currying favor with the Vets
of that city. They are also trying TO
en.barrass the party in what they con-
ceivc to be the interest Of Senator
Reed. Their latest effort is an appli-
cation for writ of injunction before
a Republican Circuit Judge to prevent
the Democrats of the different wards
Of that city from holding Conventions
to send delegates to the Joplin STATE
Convention under the late call of the
State Committee. The grounds for
,i':s action being based Oh the word
ing OF the Committees call, that
women be given half the delegates
and be permitted to select their own
rt representatives, and construe the
language to mean that the women
can also have the privilege of voting
for the dele"ates to be selected BY
the men. This is, in our judgment,
specious plea and meant to make
trouble. No one honestly believes
that the women will resort to techni-
calities to play gang politics and try
to put anything over on these old
politicians. 1t would be nearer the
truth to say that they fear this kind
of influence will prevent them from
putting into execution their own
plans to control the delegation to the
