Peace Justice Gomez left Sat- urday over the highway with State Senator Arthur Gomez for the expressed purpose of seeking the appointment to fill out the unexpired term of the late Judge Gunn, Upon arrival at Tallahassee they were informed the governor was in Washington. Upon learn- ing that his return was not antici- pated until next Tuesday, sibly, Peace Justice Gomez turned to Key West, leaving Sen- ator Gomez in Jacksonville. In the meantime the matter of an appointee for the office until the election in November wa: discussed among local attorney: and the decision was reached that only a qualified attorney should be appointed. When the office of probate judge for Monroe county was first authorized, it was considered a simple matter to handle the af- fairs, and the question of legal qualifications was not considered, it is stated. However, since that time the business of the office, its scope and” tuvefiéations have growr such an extent that in the opin- ion of attorneys who have a vast amount of business with the pro- bate, or county judge, only a practicing attorney should be ap- pointed, Believing that the best inter- ests of the people would be served by such an appointment, at- torneys, members of the bar as- sociation, yesterday sent a tele- gram to Governor Sholtz, pro- testing the appointment of any person to complete the unex- pired term of Judge Gunn, ex- cept an attorney.
