cult The appointment of Governor
Hughes to the Supreme bench. It is
known, would give the president great
pleasure, and it is generally conceded
that if he realized there was a slight
chance of Governor Hughes accepting
the place it would he offered him tt
once
Slight Not Tempt Him.
The Hughes selection Is not In
shape to be reckoned with definitely
as yet. His friends :’reely assert that
nothing short of the chief justiceship
would tempt him at the present. The
president would feel doubly satisfied
in giving the appointment to Governor
Hughes, in that the Second Judicial
circuit, which contains the State of
New York, at present has no repre
sentative on the Supreme bench, and
there is a loud clamor from New York
for an appointee on Ihe bench to
take the place of the late Justice Peck-
Lam.
In the meantime, it is understood
that President Taft is quietly sizing
up one of the c’reult judges in the
Eighth judicial district, from which
Justice Brewer hailed. He is said :c
have dscovered in Judge Vandevents*
ihe ideal timber for the place he Is
expecting to fill. In age qualification
—he Is just 50—In experience, achieve
ment and geographical location, he
is admitted to bo a selection well
worth while, and reports are becomln
quite persis’ent to the effect that
Judge Vatideventer, stands extremely
close to the appointment.
Van Deventer was virtually the au
thor of the circuit court opinion in tho
Northern Securities case, having been
assigned to write It by his fellow-
judges. Although the decision brougiit
hint fame, it appears he had plenty
of that commodity to go on previously.
As a territorial judge in Wyoming he
hud his first service on the bench at
the age of 29. He was the first chief
justice of Wyoming when that com
monwealth was admit’ed to state
hood. He tesigned to accept a pos'-
t : on as counsel for ono of the big
western corporations.
Came to Washington.
Hard times in the west in 1892 and
1893 brought him to Washington as
an applicant for the position of soli-
citor-general under Attorney General
McKenna in McKinley’s cabinet. In
sistence on the part of President Mc
Kinley and Secretary Bliss caused him
to take the position of assistant at
torney general for the interior depart
ment. When the Eighth Judicial cir
cuit, comprising territory extending
fom Canada to Mexico was given a
fourth judge, in 1902, ihe commission
for this Judgeship was given to Van
Deventer by President Roosevelt.
President Taft Is being urged to
give recognition to the extensive
E gh'tb circuit, from which theme em
anates much business and which It is
contended is in need of a representa
tive on the Supreme bench to faclll-
the many important cases which
corre from thero. Van Deven'er’s fel-]
low Judges, Messrs. Sanborn and ;
Hook, also have been urged for the
appointment front this circuit. In
addition to these, the president has;
a long list of names which have been
sent in front other localities.

Judge Speer acknowledged the re

heard from him.
