CHIEF JUSTICE
 OFFERS ADVICE
Long.Winded' Addresses Before Supreme Court
 Discouraged

Detailed statement of fact. long reference to evidence, extensive dis cussions of authorities or the pre- sentation of minor issues serve no useful purpose in oral argument be- fore the Supreme Court of Erors says Chief Justice William M. Malt bic, in article, "The Oral Argu- ment on Appeal" The complete article appears in the current issue of the Connecticut Bar Journal.
 As far as the claims of counsel In the case are concerned, the Uginted briefs submitted are the basis upon which the judge works, according to the judge. He urges that oral argument be brief, clear and forceful. The article serves as an insight into methods used by the court in deciding the cases argued before it.
 x After argument of the case, says Judge Maltbie, the court justices consider 1t in conference, and then 1t is assigned to one of the justices to write the opinion. That parti- cular judge carefully studies the records and claims of counsel, then prepares an opinion and submits copies to the other four court mem- bers. Suggestions of the other four are then sent to the judge writing the opinion, who re-studies 1t, and 50 far as he Is willing to adopt the suggestions of his colleagues amend. the opinion to meet any doubts irI their minds. The opinion is then taken up for final consideration al another conference.

Annual Election OF Executives

for office being considered by prom
1nent club members receives the
approval Of the electors at the an
nual election meeting next Thurs
day evening, January IA. Frank
9turgess, present vice-president Is
being doomed for the presidency to
succeed Raymond Grady who will
be unable to consider reelection
due to his duties as night police
man.
Probable Slate
For the balance of the nominees
on this particular slate, Ambrose
6culIy, will be placed before the
membership for approval as vice
president; Mrs. Henry A. Hayden,
for recording secretary; William F.
Kelly, financial secretary, and Mary
Grady, sister Of the present presi-
dent, treasurer. This Of course Is
only one tentative list Of probable
nominees and several others may
loom before the elections are held
Thursday evening. With the cleo
ton Of this slate all the present
officers with the exception Of Mr..
Sturges will suddenly find them
selves ex-incumbents.
From spotlighters view 1t seems
logical that vice-president Sturgess
will accede TO the presidency in
view Of the fact that he Is a mem
Der Of the Earbenders, who, from
comments gathered, plan to figure
prominently In the election this
year. Considering this fact there
probably will be contest for the
treasurership as John Dalton, presi-
dent Of the Earbenders, holds that
position now and 1t hardly seems
possible they would allow him to be
defeated should he show any desire
for reelection. With all these
facts taken into consideration, and
the expectation Of the placing OF
other groups Of potential incumbents
IN the race, very lively con-
