Member of the Beripps North Weet Leacus of Newepapers The Kntered at My mail, out of elty, & amo olty, Ry carrier Supreme Court an Issue of the Campaign William Howard Taft on the supreme court is a prospect which must be faced if Charles E. Hughes is elected president. Hughes w pointment to this court. to the first vacancy which might occur. Taft has wanted to be on the supreme bench more than anything else in the world, He stated frankly many times when he was first mentioned for president, and even while he was president, that he would rather be a supreme court justice. That Hughes would have a vacancy to fill is as certain as anything human can be. Wilson has had three vacancies to fill; Taft made four appointments; Roosevelt made three. At and Holmes, 75. The casualties may not fall on the basis of age; often they do not matical prospects, based on experience, however, make it quite certain that at least appointed to the supreme court by Taft; he was Taft's first ap It is not conceivable that Hughes would not appoint Taft present there are on the supreme bench three justices who have passed the Biblical allotment of “three score years and ten”: Justices White, 71; McKenna, 73, one vacancy will be filled in the next four years. The Wilson appointments have been McReynolds, Brandeis and Clarke. These appointments have emphasized the need of men on the bench who are in touch with social and economic problems as they exist today, rather than precedents which pre- vailed in the king’s courts in England in the middle ages. All law nowadays goes back to the fundamentals under- lying such things as the income tax, the eight-hour day, child labor, workmen’s compensation, minimum wage, regulation of freight rates, government operation of public utilities, con- | servation of public resources,and similar matters VITAL TO THE PEOPLE. ..All laws pertaining to such problems must eventually go to the supreme court, 80 that this body has become actually the SUPREME LEGISLATIVE AUTHOR- ITY of the country. IT IS MORE THAN A COURT. What the people need most variety. In for IT OVERRULES CONGRESS, AND EX- _ ERCISES THE VETO POWER ON ALL LEGISLATION. ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS OF OUR GOVERNMENT P _ REAL POWER AND IMPORTANCE THAN THE SUPREME COURT. The court divides along progressive and conservative lines thought is represented by Brandeis, and its reactionary, backward-looking thought, by such men as Chief Justice White. Taft would be a vote on the reactionary side to have more judges of the Brandeis and Clarke lexion o supreme Toh the thest powielal body in our ctheme of government.
