TAFT IS NAMED
CHIEF JUSTICE
FIRST TO HOLD HIGHEST OFFICE
IN BOTH EXECUTIVE AND
JUDICIAL BRANCHES.
NOMINATION
SENATE ACTS FAVORABLY ON
SUPREME BENCH APPOINT
MENT.

Washington, July Former Presi-
mated by President Harding to be
chief justice Of the United States, and
his nomination was confirmed by the
Senate in executive session.
Senators Borah and Johnson led the
! fight on the floor in opposition to Mr..
Taft, while he was defended by about
ii dozen senators, including Knox of
Pennsylvania, Kellogg of Minnesota
and Willis of Ohio. Republicans, and
Underwood of Alabama, minority lead
of North Carolina and Broussard of
Louisiana, Democrats.
Mr.. Taft is the first mar in the ma
tons history to be chosen for the
highest office in both the executive
and judicial branches of the govern
ment. For more than thirty years
prior to his retirement from the presi-
dency in 1913 he had been almost con-
stantly in the public service.
Throughout all of his public career,
a hope that he might some day be-
come chief justice is said by Mr.. Taft's
close friends to have been the aSpira.
ton nearest his heart. 1t is said that
he always has felt himself better fit
ted by temperament to serve in the jul
dietary than in the executive branch
of the government, and that when in
1910, fortune brought him the Oppor-
tunity to appoint a chief justice he
would gladly have changed places with
the man he selected and now succeeds.
When he was secretary of war un-
der Roosevelt he Is said to have been
Offered a choice between remaining in
the cabinet and taking a vacancy on
the court, an alternative which caused
him many hours of anxious considera-
ton.
As President ii later became Mr.,
Taft's duty not only to choose a chief
justice, but to make five other ap-
pointments to the highest court. OF
the men he selected, only two, JUS
tees Vandevanter and Pitney, remain
to serve with him on the bench.
Although he came to the presidency
as a citizen of Ohio, Mr.. Taft now is
selected chief justice as a citizen of
Connecticut. Soon after he left the
White House he made New Haven his
legal residence, accepting a position
he still holds as professor of interna-
tional law at Yale University, from
which he was graduated in 1878. Mr..
Taft prepared for the practice Of law
at the Cincinnati Law School. where
he was graduated two years later.
