'HUGHESNOURNS
HOLMES DEATH.

Each with solemn face and
wrinkled brow, the nine Justices
Of the Supreme Court slowly filed
into a hushed court at noon and
filed out again a minute later
after Chief Justice Hughes an
nounced the courts great sorrow
for the loss of its former Asso-
ciate Justice, Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
Justice Hughes face showed
he was visibly affected by the
death of his colleague. He was
among the first to call upon
Justice Holmes when his strength
began to ebb Saturday. He did
not see him, however, for the
condition of the patient was too
low to permit visitors.
Justice Hughes, on ascending
the bench, made the following
announcement:
1T is my sad duty to an
nOunce that our former col
league, Mr.. Justice Holmes,
passed away this morning.
Peacefully, painleSsly, and in
the fullness of time, came the
inevitable end-the close of a

lost a great jurist and a noble
friend.
"As a mark of respect to his
memory, the Court will now ad-

shall then resume the hearing
of cases and at the close of the
session tomorrow, the Court will
adjourn until Monday next at

of the Court may attend the

fident it can defeat any Republi-
can candidate put up; but it is
now wondering whether the ire
mendous following of the Long
Coughlin outfit will not eat into
the New Deal support, especially
in the middle South.
It is no secret that Senators
Robinson of Arkansas and Har,
rison Of Mississippi are viewing
Senator Long with the same sort
of interest that a besieged city
would view the approaching be-
siegerS. These oldtime politicians
know that Senator Long has ire
mendous strength.
Not Yet Organized
In national politics it is be-
lieved that in time the conserva-
tive forces of the country will
rally behind President Roosevelt
not that he is conservative
enough to suit them but because
he is a leader who probably
knows how to hold the White
House, and it will not do to let
the radicals under Senator Long
get too far toward success.
This feeling has not yet Or
ganized; in fact, the Liberty
League is right now giving aid
and comfort to any conservative
in either party who looks good
to the reactionaries-but if to-
days gossip comes true, Senator
Long will be such a wild-eyed
threat by October, 1886, that the
safe and sane vote will be given
to Roosevelt out of sheer fright.
They are even going so far in
these political gossip tests to talk
of a Coughlin-Long ticket. That
would put Long in as Vice Presi-
dent, where he can still make the
Senate ring. This, however, is all
gossip.
