Only after they discovered ! that they could not get what they wanted from Governor Sheldon did the democrats question his right to fill the vacancies and assert the right of the democratic governor to name the judges. When the boasted onslaught | was made in court it turned out to be merely a quibble over an abstruse technicality as to whether faifure of the legislative record to show an afirmative vote invalidated & law passed years ago constitutional amendments canvassed and put into effect The entire procedure of the demo- crats enlisted in this movement, in- cluding the governor and the legisla- had been of their claims to be devoted to the | divoree of the judiciary from poltics. !The whole scheme was a political scheme and its utter failure to pan out will cause no regrets, except to the false claimants and wire-pullers who were behind them, Harvard's Tribute to Eliot.

Occu- pation tax ordinances have been pend- ing in the council for months, action on them being deferred in order to await these decisions expected from the supreme court. An effort in the legislature to deprive the municipal authorities of this power aroused an outburst of protest which forced the law-makers to leave this part of the charter as it was.
