FIGHT ON TILSOON
WILL CONTINUE EFFORT TO
KERP ATLANTA iMAN OUT OF
MIDDLE CIRCUIT.
" WASHINGTON, Noember 22—
Senater Wm. 4. Harris announced
today that he would continue with
all the vigor he could muster his
{icht againgt the confirmation of Jo
ginh Tilsen, of Atlanta, for the fed
eral Judgeship of the Middle District
of Georgia.
“Nothine has happened,” said
Senator Harris to alter in the least
the principles underlying my oppo
sition to the confirmation of Mr.
Tilson, of Atlanta, as judge of tne
Middle District, and I will continue
to o¢ppose his confirmation as vig
orously as I can, As I have set forth
before, my opposition is based in
large upon the broad principle of his
not being a resident of the district.
It smacks of the old carpet-bag days.
to send 2 man to a position where he
does not reside. The fact that he
moved to Macon after his appoint
‘ment is beside the point.
-“During the last session, ‘Senator
George and I conferred with a num
ber of Senators and a majority of
the senators were against the con
firmation, The sclection of federal
judges is made by the constitution
to vest in a dual authovity, the Sefi
:F’ate as weil as the chief executive,
and it thus hecomes the duty of the
i senators familiar with the conditions
| «nd gencral situation in a state to
|sit in judgment and pass upon the
" nominations made by the president
| for that state.
i “In the present case, it is a fact
that there is not a District in the
‘ United States that a numbers along
i its citizenship more lawyers who are
!bettur fittted to dignify the office
! of federal judge. There are an es
| pecially large number of able law
yers in the district, and for the
president to go outside of the district
{ and appoint Tilson, simply because
I,‘ he is the brother of the Renublican
{ floor leader cof the house, is all out
! of proportion to what the people of
the district have g right to expect
l and what ordinary principles of right
}and justice demand.
{ “I heve never regarded judicial
lanpointments as political ones. Dur
( ing President Wilson’s administra
l_tion, when I was consulted in the
!‘:,;:*;‘,')rfintn‘(-nt of judees, I recommend
.' ed Judge Alex King for the court of
{ar.',)eals:. and Judges Sibley and Ev
;:m:\t for the United States courts of
iihe northern and southern distriets,
iand I did not permit political future
to enter into the matter.
“When Judge Evans died, Presi
i«‘.»o'nt Harding was urged to make @

day. “
celaa s e
oustice Joseph Lamar, of Augusta, to
the supreme court bench, and also
appointed Justice White, a Demiecrat
and ex-Confederate soldier, as Chief
Justice.
“] regret that the President should
have made a political appointment
in the present instance. In addition
to being a resident of another dis
trict, Mr. Tilson has not had the
extensive general practice in law
that should be regarded as es :ential,
his practice having been coniined
more to abistracting and other work
rather than to gencral practice.
“Ppresident Coolidge allows the ne
gro National Committeeman, Ben
Davis, to name the pastmasters and
other federal officers of our state,
many of them named, I believe, for
consideration. This negro, Ben Da
vis, is also emlnr';‘ing'Judgc Tilson. It
is a reflection upon the Reputlican
party and humiliating to the peonle
of Georgia to have this negro control
any kind of appointment, to say
nothing of the judgeship.
“The presidecne takes the soath to
support the constitution. Under the
Constitution, 2 majority of the sena
tors must vote irsfavor of a nomina
tion to effect its confirmation.
When the president withdrew Mr
Tilson’s name because he would be
defeated, and reappointed him, v.'ith‘
a majority of the senate against him,
he clearly violated the spirit of the
Constitution, which he had sworn to
observe.
“If there were a vacancy in the
Northern District and the president
tried to appoint as judge a South
Georeian not living in that district,
I would oppose it just as vigorous
1y as T do Mr. Tilson’s appointment
in the Middle District, where he did
"nnt reside.”
