Two of these are cir- cuit judgeships, one in the Fifth and one in the Eighth circuit. The others are district vacancies, one in Texas, one in Alabama and one in Louisiana. For the vacancy on the bench in the Eighth judicial district seventeen ap- plicants appear. These are: 2 Samuel N. Wheeler of Grand Junc- tion, Colo. C. J. Smyth of Omaha. A ] C %ierer of Guthrie, Okl,, in- dorsed among others by Senator wen. Charles F. Amidon, district United States judge at Fargo, N. D,, who has often been called to sit in important cases in the court of appeals. Mathew, W. Kane of the supreme court of Oklahoma. E. A. McCulloch, justice of the Ar- kanur, supreme court. - Johh A. Riner, United States dis- trict judge of Cheyenne, Wyo. Carroll D. Wood, Little Rock, of the Arkansas supreme bench. Preston C.
