ment as it is known that a number of

The bill creating an associate Fed
eral Judgeship for the district of
North Dakota, matter that seems ia
have created quite furore in the
state, will probably be reported out
Of the House Committee on the Ju-
dietary some time this week, as Chair
man Volstead expects to report the
bill to the House on Tuesday accord

that the bill will not receive final ac-
tion by the House for perhaps a
month. A vast amount of legislative
matter is now on the Legislative cal

shgly important, and the judicial bill
will probably have to await its regu-

bills of this character are not likely
to be reported under a special rule
and considering the legislative situa-
tion it is not believed that one will be
established in this instance.
Speculation is still rife as to whom
the new judgeship will go. Various
candidates have been mentioned in
this column during the past two
weeks and the situation in this re-
gard remains unchanged. Andrew
Miller, of Bismarck, former attorney
general Of the state, and Seth Rich
ardson, Non Partisan candidate for
the state supreme court in the last
general election, continue to be con-
sidered candidates of potential
strength by many people interested
in the matter but still others persist
in believing that the appointment will

prominently for the place heretofore.
