ELECT JUDGES BY !. CONVENTION PLAN
 ID BE PROPOSED
Committee From State Bar Association to Present Matter to Committee.
 Foster and Johnston
 Issue Statements

Shall the judges of the court of appeals and the supreme court be selected by convention or in a primary?
 This question bids fair to be the livest proposition brought before the state democratic ex- ecutive committee at it's meet ing here today.
 The matter will be brought to the attention of the committee following the action of the executive eommit- tee of the State Bar Association at a recent meeting. when it was decided to urge the state committee to pro- vide convention for the selection of these judicial officers by convention. instead of in a primary, as has been the custom for the past several years. The last time supreme court judges were named in convention was in 1912,
 The matter will be presented to the
 
 tee of the bar association. Following the presentation of this report 1t is anticipated that a resolution will be introduced providing for the selection by convention, but it Is not known who will introduce this resolution.
 It is declared that neither the Mus grove forces nor the Cottonwood cam psign Is in any way involved in the matter. Judge Henry B. Foster, cam 4sxx. fnr Aft tc- sued statement last night in which he put the stamp of dsapproval on the proposal so far as Mir. Musgrove and his forces are concerned.
 Forney Johnston. one of the leaders for MT. Underwood, issued a state ment declaring that he had never heard of the matter until Thursday and that the Underwood forces had no interest in the matter. He stated that he had learned that It was to be pre- scented bv the committee of the State Bar Association, and that as he was q member of the committee. he would hear the arguments made and then cast his vote as he thought best for the interests of the state.
 MUSGROvE FORCES OPPOSED
 The statement issued by Judge Henry B. Foster. manager for MT. Musgrove, follows: ''rhe Musgrove forces, so far as am advised, oppose the convention plan and favor the nomination of all can- didates by primary election. including delegates to the democratic national con vention. We further believe that all dual- flied white voters of Alabama who be- lieve in the principles of the democratic party should be, invited to participate in the primary eelction.'

i nounced to find that they were to be governored by another set of local laws When consideration was being given to the local laws. some mem bers of the legislature declared there would be calls throughout the state for an extra session as soon as the census returns were made public. It was not unusual for the legisla- ture of 1919 to pass laws of a general nature which restricted their applica- tions to counties having only 80 greater or fewer numbers of inhahit- ants than any other county. The court in it's opinion, mentioned that one local law restricted the population by only one inhabitant.
 Because of the wide differences in population and the conditions which do not apply to the regular lis. of counties. 1t Is improbable that the de- cision will affect Jefferson, Mobile and Montgomery counties.

NO PARTISAN SIGNIFICANCE

t'The question has, of course, no partl- san significance There is a wide diff ference between the propriety of submit ting the fortunes of public officials gen. orally to vote of the people and the ques- tion of selecting judges for appellate courts by general primary.
 Amy effort to ascribe this proposal to the advocates of any candidate now be- fore the people is clearly ill-founded. Any candidate trying to make capital of the question, as I understand is being done in certain quarters where the political assets are pretty thin, might well state where they have stood on submitting other issues to the people which the peo- pie are very much better able to pass | upon than the judicial qualifications of | a man they have never seen.
 Speaking for myself, my mind is open
 upon this question. I am assured as to the desrahility of relieving candidates l for appellate judicial office of the burden of political campaigning. trading oI 1 boosting, but I am not sure that the aues- | tion of convention or no convention fol

 That's what the members of the executive committee of the Birming- ham post of the American Legion will tell Irwin s. Cobb this afternoon when hte reaches Birmingham preparatory to delivering his lecture at the Jeffer- sen Theatre at s:30 o'clock tonight

 It was stated that there were still about twenty-five good seats left in the orchestra and twenty-five to thirty in the balcony. These had evidently been overlooked in the rush of the pst few days and they are expected to be taken up early this morning.

ask the state committed to CT judicial convention until Thursday afternoon. l then made inquiry and ascertained that the suggestion originated with the execu- tive committee of the state Bar Associa- ton, which seems to have appointed a committee to present the matter on it's merits before the committee.
 Judicial conventions for nomination of justices of the supreme and appellate coarts have been advocated by most of the judges and by a great many people for years, because of the difficulty on the part of the general public to learn of the qualifications of candidates for judges of courts exercising appellate Jurisdiction and never brought in contact with the general public. A candidates ability as a handshaker is not necessarily an indicar tion of his ability to construe the law or of his courage or his character, and doubt has been expressed by many good citl- zens whether the statewide primary tends to encourage the best material to offer for the appellate court bench.
