John w. Redmond to Get Harding
Appointment.
burlington Free Press
Unless all signs fail the Hon. John
made one of the circuit judges of the
United States court of appeals for the
second judicial circuit, which includes
the States of Connecticut, New York
and Vermont. The second circuit is
under the jurisdiction of Justice Louis
d. Brandeis of the Supreme Court of
the United States, each justice being
assigned to a federal circuit. To
him are made any motions and ap-''
locations touching matters as to
which a single United States Su
preme court justice may act, arising
in his respective circuit.
At the present time New York has
three judges of the circuit court and
Connecticut one, while Vermont has
no representation whatever. It will
be in full keeping with the eternal
fitness of things judicial, therefore
if Vermont is given representation
to fill pending vacancy.
The Hon. John w. Redmond is rec
ognized as the ablest member of the
ho in oYf To &c
brilliant trial lawyer, but he is also
an able jurist, possessing judicial
temperament and keen analytical
mind which enables him to go to the
very root of matters of the most in
tricate nature. Hewould adorn this
high position and shed lustre on
State which has given stability to
courts and judicial determinations.
So far as Vermont is concerned
united voice is asking for this rec
ognition for Mr.. Redmond At one
time Mr.. M. C. Weber of Rutland,
was inclined to aspire to this honor
also, but it was soon discovered that
public sentiment was overwhelming
in favor of Mr.. Redmond. The mem
bers of the Vermont delegation in
Congress are united in his support.
Their statement is that he has the
strongest backing ever given Yer
monter for any federal position to
which appointment was sought.
Judge Harland B. Howe of the
of Vermont is a great admirer OF
Mr.. Redmond's ability, and Judge
Howe has come into contact with var
ious forces in the Empire State
where he could make his opinion as
Mr.. Redmond's merits known to a
good advantage. Judge Howe him
self has won an enviable position in
the esteem of the New York bar, as
an example of the kind of men Yer
mont produces and pushes to thee
front.

We are informed that Mr. Redmond
has had a chance to talk with Pres

ident is favorably impressed with
Vermont's choice for the circuit
court of appeals. Mr.. Harding is
not dealing in this instance with a
strange people in a strange land. He
has spoken in various places in Yer
mont and has come into intimate
touch with our inhabitants. He
knows the rugged character of our
people, and the stuff of which our
men are made. He has fine examples
of them close at hand in Vice Pres
