JUDGESHIP MAY BRING HARMONY Senator Jones Urged for Federal. Bench. JOHN L. ; WILSON PROVIDED FOR With Poindexter Each Side Would Have Senatorship. TAFT LIKELY TO APPROVE Wilson Now Conceded to Hare Been Strongest Candidate on West Side in Washington, So All Would Be Satisfied. HOQUIAM, Wash.. Oct. 20. I Special.) In an effort to cement and harmon ize the Republican party in Washing ton, politicians are endeavoring to have United States Senator Jones appointed to succeed the late Federal Judge Whit son, and to have John L. Wilson ap pointed by Governor Hay to succeed Senator Jones. Then it is proposed to ask the Legislature to confirm both Wilson and Miles t Poindexter at its meeting In January. ' The men behind the movement be lieve that In no other way can the party be so thoroughly Harmonized . and brought to a solid fighting basis as by making these changes and appoint ments. Although Jones would quit a por"' n keeping him more or less In the pilbllo limelight, he would succeed to a Ufa office. By Wilson's appointment to the Senatorship the Western Washington Republicans would receive the comfort for which they sought In vain In the September primary election. Hay Reported Willing. It is said that Governor Hay is will ing to aid ..the. movement and appoint Wilson, and If Senator Jones can be brought to see that his resignation and appointment to the. Federal bench would be good politics. It is believed that the plan will be carried out. There Is only ' one thing that stands in the way of the programme, and that is President Taft's wishes. So far as known, lie has not been consulted, but it is believed that he will be willing to yield to the wishes of the leaders If t Is their opinion that party harmony cat be secured by such an arrangement as has been proposed. Taft's concern In Washington affairs preceding the pri mary election Is well known, and, be sides being personally friendly to Jones, he has a high regard for the Eastern Washington man's ability, which makes his approval seem cer tain. Party Elements Satisfied. By the appointment of Wilson to suc ceed Jones, a large element of the party will be satisfied, for it is conceded now that Wilson was the strongest oppo nent Poindexter had. and if the other Western candidates had withdrawn he would have made a strong rare against the Insurgent candidate. These frienda of Wilson would be satisfied by his fill ing Jones' unexpired term and the Burke and Ashton followers would also be satisfied, because their main desire in the primary election was the elec tion of a Western Washington man. If the plan is carried out there will be nothing left for the legislators to fight over when they meet in January. All partisan feeling will be swept away and the legislators can proceed with their work without being hampered by factional fights that would arise were the question of selecting a Senator left finally with them.
