Rejected
For Federal Judge

Washington. Mar. 3l.--The pfeSl-
dent's nomination of Wallace MEGA
mant for tire federal judiciary was re-
jected by the senate by viva Noee
vote. Not one senator raised his
voice in defense Of the man who NOM
mated the president for vice presi-
dent in 1920.
The nominee had previously been
rported favorably, but Senator John
son of California induced the senate
to refer the question back to commit
tee. McCamant injured himself when
he told the committee Theodore Roose-
welt was ont a good American because
he favored the recall of judicial deei-
sions. McCamant was counsel for a
spruce corporation in Oregon that Sc
cured valuable concessions from the
government and then attempted TO
employ Japanese labor.
When Senator Johnson was cam
ddate for the presidential nomina-
tion he was favored by statewide
primary of Oregon Republican voters
McCamant was elected delegate to
the national convention Of that party
and voted fot the late Warren q.
Harding.
Senator johnson insisted that the
appoiutce violated the law.
1t is the first time, it is said, that
a presidential nominee failed to have
at least one senator defend him.
