This event would call forth no extras ordinary notice: IF the people of Washington had not just suc« ceeded in ridding the bench of C. H. Hanford; IF the whole nation had not applauded Hanford’s removal, as a distinct people’s victory; IF Clinton W. Howard were free of corporation taint and “special interest” subserviency; IF Clinton W. Howard had merely been legal ad- viser for the big corporations in the state in the ordi+ nary course of business; IF Clinton W. Howard had only been a corporae tion lawyer and not a corporation apologist, booster, champion, tool, and advocate both outside the court room as well as inside it; IF Clinton W. Howard had been a corporation at- torney in the courts and not a professional lobbyist in behalf of “special privilege” before the legislature at Olympia ; IF Clinton W. Howard had not taken the public platform time and again to oppose people’s measures; IF Clinton W. Howard had not again and again been mixed up in political warfare against the best interests of the people; IF Clinton W. Howard were not a member of the same clique of attorneys which held such powerful sway in Hanford’s court; IF, for more than 20 years, Clinton W. Howard had not, as attorney and lobbyist for the Stone-Webster corporation, the Great Northern, the Bellingham Bay Improvement Co., the Whatcom Light & Power Co., fought the people at every step and turn; IF Clinton W. Howard were not so absolutely steeped in reactionary, corporation, and special inter IF it were not for all of these things, then the ele- vation of Clinton W. Howard to the federal bench would not be of especial interest. BUT, BECAUSE OF ALL THESE THINGS, HOWARD'S APPOINTMENT BECOMES A NA- TIONAL ISSUE TO BE FOUGHT OUT. AND IT WILL BE FOUGHT OUT. AT. R.
