In that contest was Joseph E. Davies,

Judge Lenroot was defeated for

the reverse being his advocacy of
the World Court, in the face of
strong opposition to the tribunal
among the large German popula-

Il would rather give my support

for reelection than to oppose it

Judge Lenroot originally was a

they broke in 1912 when Judge Len
root lined up with Theodore Roose-
welt against William Howard Taft,
who was Senator La Follette's choice
for the Republican presidential
nomination. The break was in
tensified when Judge Lenroot ia
