ONLY ONE DEMOCRAT OPPOSED NOMINATION Senators La Follette, Norris and Poindexter, Republi cans, Supported Him. v . Washing-ton, Just 1-(U. P,) Louis S. Brandela was confirmed as justice of the supreme, court this afternoon. The vote was 47 to 33. The vote was taken in executive ses sion, at which majority and minority reports of- the commjttee that consid ered the Brandeis nomination were sub- m'tted. ' Newlands was the only Democrat wha voted against the nomination, La Foilette, Norris and Poindexter, Repub licans, voted for Brandeis. Senators Clapp and Gronna were paired for BrandelS. Nominated January 28. Brandeis' confirmation came after one of the most bitter fights" ever made against a nominee for the su preme court of the United States. Brandeis, a Boston attorney, was nominated to succeed the late Justice Lamar on January 28. The nomina tion was referred to a subcommittee of the senate Judiciary committee for action. The hearings held by this commit tee into Mr. Brandeis' fitness, were notable for the bitter attacks made on him by representatives of some of ; the large Interests and. by just as strong defense of him by former associates' The attacks were based on charges that Brandeis had been unfaithful to clients and had used information gained through his position as attorney for certain corporations against them in later proceedings.- All of the testi mony was contradicted; by notable wit nesses for Mr. Brandis, TU B. Brandeis' is a medium Mixed, wiry man, rather pl(n la. general ap pearance, with black ' hair, ireely streaked with gray. "Born in lxtuls vUle, Ky., November 13. 1856, he at tended Harvard, and married Alice Goldmark of New York in 1891. He has acquired through being transplant ed to Massachusetts his home lav Bos ton a Yankee accent that has a real twang to It. Brandeis Us a memoer of a large law firm and could have named his own price for much work during the last 16 years had he so chosen, but he has refused hundreds of cases be cause they Interfered with the uplift work so dear to his and Mrs. Brandeis' hearts. In 1S04 certain public charitable in stitutions of Boston were being ran by nn who cared little about their wards. Brandeis forced an aldermanlc Investi gation, and needed reforms followed. When given a fee for his work, he turned the money over to charity. Then he stanted a year's fight to force the reduction, of the cost of industrial in surance. He won and the workers ben efited. The gas companies of Boston consolidated and raised the price. Bran deis fought for the people, and the price was reduced by law. He received no fee for this labor. Ih 1907, he took charge of the struggle to save the Ore gon law limiting the hours of labor of women. The biggest and highesV priced lawyers in the country opposed him. -but' Brandeis won from the su preme court of the United States its "O. K." by unanimous vote. This was another fight without compensation. Brandeis fought the Boston &. Maine railroad absorption by the New Haven company and tried to prevent the monopoly of New England's trans portation. When the fight was made to smother the charges brought by Louis R. Glavis against his superior, Richard A. Ballinger secretary of the interior, Brandeis, again came to the front. He represented Glavis before the con gressional Investigation committee and astounded the committee . with the knowledge he displayed of the science of conservation. It was largely due to his work that the charges against Ballinger were thoroughly Investi gated. And in his closing argument Brandeis announced ; his theory of "special privilege." "It is the conception of class the conception of privilege against the people the belief that men in exalted positions must be protected at all odds, and that a man who1 is merely a hum ble servant of the government has no rights which need to be respected. "These claims of' privilege re the same, whether, they be ' political or financial."" Brandeis fought and won the battle to save the 10 hour day for the women of Illinois; acted as mediator ia many industrial disputes and during- the last 16 years, has been against privilege in any form.
