TAFT TO BECOME
CHIEF JUSTICE
His Appointment Was
Confirmed by the Sem
ate Yesterday

WASHINGTON, July H. Prest.
dent Harding announced yesterday
afternoon the appointment of for.
mer President William Howard
TAFT 10 be Chief Justice OF the su-
p:eme court, to succeed the late
Chief Justice Edward D. White.
Within two hours after receiving
the nomination the Senate had or.
dered Mr.. Tafts confirmation by a
vote OF 60 to 4. Senators Borah,
johnson, Of California, Lafollette,
Republicans, and Watson, Of Geor.
gia, Democrat, opposed favorable
action.
BosaE and johnson led the fight
on the floor in opposition to Mr..
Taft, while he was defended by
about {. dozen Senators. including
Knox, Of Pennsylvania; Kellogg, OF
Minnesota, and Willis, OF Ohio, Re.
publicans, and Underwood, OF Ala
bama, minority leader; Smith, OF
South Carolina; overman, Of North
Carolina, and Broussard, OF Louisi.
ana, Democrats.
Senators Borah and Johnson were
understood to have centered their
fight on Mr.. Taft's training, expert.
ence and qualifications. According
to reports filterIng out from the
Senate chamber, Senator Johnson
was said to have declared that Mr..
Taft's appointment was purely po-
litical." A similar charge, II was
reported, was made by Senator
Borah. It had been the purpose OF
Senate leaders to consider this
nomination in open executive ses.
sion, but when opposition was dis
covered the plan was changed and
the doors closed.
So far as the appoInte Is concern
ed, It is well known to all his closer
friends that since early manhood
he has entertained the ambition to
be Chief Justice OF the United
States. 1t is said by many OF these
friends that II he had been given
his choice of taking that office or
Of becoming President he unhesi.
tatingly would have found more
pride and satisfaction In ascend
Ing the highest bench.
At the time he was Secretary OF
War he might have been appoint.
ed an Associate Justice OF the Su.
preme Court II he had insisted
upon It. But he was dissuaded
from taking that position by mem.
bers Of his family and by Presi.
dent Roosevelt, all Of whom look.
ed upon him us the heIr.apparent to
the Roosevelt Presidential mantle,
mantle that in time fell upon his
shoulders.
Just when Mr.. Taft will qualify
as Chief Justice. Is not clear to.
night. At the present time he Is
engaged In an important arbitration
proceeding and stands to earn a
handsome fee. He is not a rich
man. On the contrary, he has saved
very little money as a result of his
long public service, and unless
there is some urgent reason for his
assuming the oath of office at once
he probably will request the PRIV.

now engaged upon before proceed
