WHY REJECT TILSON?
The fact that some three hundred
lawyers who will have to go into his
court to practice have endorsed Judge
‘Pilson for federal judge in the Mid
dle Ceorgia district should not \\'uigh.fl

serve as federal judge for the, people
of the Middle District. He ¢ame, {OO,
when in the Middle District’ were
worth while republicans who, were
better fitted for the duties of the of
fice.” i s
The reagons for refusal to endorse
him 67 the place are well put by the
editor of the Macon 'l‘élegrapl} in the .
Tollowing: ;
“It has been customary gince the
beginnnig of the government to select
judges from the districts in which
they preside. The precedent has been
broken, upon occasion, but in all but
a very few cases, it has been adher
ed to sacredly. It iu pre.fl;lmied that
a man who is acquainted with the bar
and the juries with whom he comes
into contact and with the‘ people who
are pfalntittu and the détendanw in,
his court has,the sympathy and the,
ability ‘properly, to. eyaluate men . angd,
causes that a man from the outside,
’does not have and does not always‘
acquire, If no protest is made when
a man l;‘g taken ‘rom’ ofté diétflx{ ‘M
be placed ‘gver Anbtder 'Alstitet, “tiérd”
is'no reason why it should not occur
that a man from New England m'ighti
3"‘" be sent into the south or'a man
ifmm the south sent into New Eng-i
land. It is carrying politics too far
‘in the judiciary. If there is onei
’hran(:h of our goverhment‘that ought
to be kept above the muck and slimé}
}of politics, it is the judiciary. ‘
i “That leads to the major objectior i
to the appointment of Mr. Tilson. Or-!
i,dinarily. he would not have _b_eer}
:though{ of as judicial timber. He .en‘-
joyed the luxury of a lucnitive in
surance and real estate practice in
Atlanta. - His brother, however, hflp-{
nened to have attained prominence in"
Washington as leader of the majorfly!
in the house of representatives. It
is a nowérful position, a_position that
jenables its holder, if he cares and,
dares, to hold a whip over the manl
who gits in ‘the white houssa:; a poq'ii
tian ‘whose jholder is never ignored.
and often cultivated by the whlte‘
house. The leader of the majority is
San[\'{tuq‘ehtlal man in his party. He!
controls votes at conventions; hel
speaks when the platform is being‘
draffed: his word is heeded when the!
presidential ticket is being made up.i
He is very usetul tc the president
who has his favor and very (ia’.ngel'-{
oils to the president who does not
enjoy it. |
“Mr. Tilson, the house leader, went
to the white house with the name of
his bro!hg‘l:.gqh}{e lives in Connecticut,
his brother%Jives in Georgia. He
knew- nohting-about-the-Middte Geor
gia district, and cared oply, inciden
‘tally about it. He know only that the
'brésident -Wals/indebted to him: politi

Yigation cashed. The president, ir

|J,me\'vh'hat Mr. Tilson had been 'u.qc-‘;
ful, that he stands in" the way of be
ing useful again. A rvepublican na
tioral C(mvvn’tion is only two years
off. The president ignored all those'
standards by l\-."hich judiclary appoint
ments should be made and made a
Durely political appointment that his
influehce on the Hill-and perhaps in
‘he . conyention—might be eniianced.
It does not enter into the controversy
whether the appointment happened to!
be an acceptable one or not; ,what-?
does enter is that it would have been
made at any odds and upon any con
ditions, because it wus asked for by
a powerful politician. [t was palpable
that Mr. Coolidge was seeking his"
