6SLhTED FOR
FEDERAL JUDGE

uue OV0~e
Congressman William N. Vale,
former Arvada man but now Of Den
yer, has been selected for United
States District judge, according to a
Warrington. Attorney George B.
Campbell brot the news to the Arv-
ada Masonic lodge, of which Con-
gresham Vale is a member, a week
ago. The news was not published in
Denver until this week. Arvada is
justly proud that one of her citizens
has landed such and important posi-
ton. Mr.. Vale left here about si1
years ago but he still looks un6h
Arvada a. his home.
It il understood that both Sena-
tors Nicholson and Phipps agreed
on Congressman Vale and that
President Harding had announced
that no appointment would be made
until the senator's agreed upon one
man.
This Is an especially important
selection to Jefferson county in that
both the United States Senators h.ye
the bitter opposition of the Republi-
can organization in this county
while there is not another county
In the state but that is giving them
the united support Of both the rank
and file and the organization.
Selection Of Vale would end .
four-month deadlock over the choice
Of . federal judge for Colorado.
Following the promotion Of Judge
Robert E. Lewis to the Circuit bench
last December, the name of N. Wal
ter Dixon was presented to the presi-
dent by Senator's Lawrence C. Phipps
and Samuel D. Nicholson. Presi-
dent Harding declined to nominate
Dexon because his age was in the
excess Of the limit Of so years set
for appointees to the federal bench.
Two weeks ago the senators
found themselves unable to agree on
. substitute for Dixon. Senator
Phipps thereupon submitted the
name Of j. Foster Symes, United
States District Attorney, and Sena-
tor Nicholson sent in the name of
Rush L. Holland Of Colorado Springs
assistant attorney general of the
United States. Following a CONFER
ence with the senators, President
Harding stated that he would make
no selection until they agreed upon .
single choice.
Vale Il now serving his second
term - representative, having been
elected In 1918 and again in 1920.
He Is Is years old.
While the rank and file of the
Republican party in Jefferson coun-
ty Is united in It's support of the two
United States senators and are
nleased at this recognition of a
Jefferson county man. the Jefferson
County Republican, official organ Of
the Republican organization in the
county il constantly abusing the
Uuited States senators and attempt
ing to create en- i'll feeling toward
them on the part Of the few readers
Of that political organ in this coun.
ty. Last week, among other slight
ing remarks were the following
paragraphs in the Republican:
president Harding has told
Senators Phipns and Nicholson
that they must agree on m an
pointee for federal judgeship in
this district. II will now be de-
termined whether the senior
senotor Is the whole thing or
whether the Junior representa-
tive has a mind Of his own and
the CUTS TO back up his judg-
ment."
Evidently to meet the require
ments Of the Gold.n newspaper
Senator Nicholson's ability should
be confined within his waistline and
he should keep = party scrap going
BY refusing to compromise on a JEFF
ferson county man for the appoint
mcnt. Sam Nicholson, however.
don't care much for the opinion Of
certain enemies In Golden. The Re-
publican continues:
1T may be convenient TO have
. political boss sitting on the
throne 1T Washington to direct
the affairs Of the Republican
party in Colorado but some how
w have q notion that the pepole
Of the state have right to
recognition in the matter and
that they are going to speak at
the fall election In q tone that
will be heard at the national
capitol with no uncertain
sound"
More scraps coming up In the Re.
publican party. Great news for the
Democrats! But II Is not At all one
sided. The rank and file Of the Re-
publican party in this county are in
clinsd TO resent the boss sitting on
the throne at Golden, publishing i
Newspaper that has nothing but
abuse for Republicans from county
treasurer to president.
Evidently another appointment
has bssn made against the wishes OF
the Jefferson County Republican.
