Announcement has been made
bv friends of Ben Rosenbloom in
Wheeling that the present con-
gressman from the first West Vir-
ginia district will be candidate
to succeed himself. and that he
will announce within the next
few days as a candidate for the
Republican nomination. at the apt1-'
maries. Whether or not this is
authentic and represents the feel

NAV Just be the statement of some
OF his warn1est admirers. For the
last several sweeks. Congressman
Rosenbloom has been quiet as a
mouse in regard to any poiltlcai
ambitions that he may cheslsh.
It is said that possibly the an
nouncement of M. M. Nicely TO-
United States senator has tempted
the Wheeling man to make ths
race for Congress. One must
await some formal statement from
Rosenbloom before coming to any
definite conclusions. r

IRISH CONFEREES
REACH AGREEMENT

LONDON, June 14.-(By The AS
sociated Press.)-The Central News
says this evening that it has learned
authorttatively that the Irish nego-
tiations resulted in agreements on
virtually all points.
Considerable optimism is felt re-
garding the status of the Irish ne
gotiations and it is suggested in
some quarters that today's confer
ences may be the final ones. In any
event it is declared that little more
discussion will be necessary for a
complete agreement.

CINCINNATI. June 14.-Assert-

La Toilette of Wisconsin in an
address here today before the
American Federation of Labor,
proposed an amendment to the
Constitution denying the power OF
lower courts to set aside a fed

providing for the notification Of
any such decision by the
Supreme Court by reactment Of

Labor Tax Law as typical of the
tconduct of the federal judiciary
and particularly the Supreme
Court, whenever Congress has
sought to enact progressive and
humane legislation which was of :
fensive to great financial inter-
ests," Senator La Toilette declar-
ed the supreme tribunal of the
country was today the actual
ruler Of the American people.

ed in positions of power for life,
not by the votes of the people but
by presidential appointment. Ex-
President Taft was made chief
Justice by President Ha<ding.
Thus a man was invested with the
enormous prestige and influence
OF Chief justice by presidential
appointment who had been repu-
dated by the voters of the United
States on his record. No one will
contend that he could have been
elected chief justice by vote Of the
people and yet Chief Justice Taft
