Supreme Court of Washington Decides the
Governorship Case.
Olympia. Wash., Aug. 11 — The state
supreme court has handed down an
important decision in the test case

governor to be elected this fall, but
that McBride tills the vacancy to the
end of his term. The judges are di

The resignation of Justic Gray was
due to ill health. Several months ago
he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, which
sometime later was followed by an
other. He has not appeared on the
bench since he was stricken the first
time.
His advanced age, 74 years,
told against his recovery with serious
force. Realizing that he p-obably would
never be able to again assume the
place which he so long filled with dis
tinguished ability and honor, he de
cided a short time ago to tender his
resignation to the president. With the
exception of Justice Harlan he had

Judge Holmes, whom the president
has selected as Justice Gray's successor,
is one of the most distinguished law
yers and jurists of Massachusetts. Hie
<areer on the bench, particularly as
chief justice of the
Massachusetts
court, has attracted wide attention.
Like Justice Gray, he is a native of
Massachusetts. He is a son and name-
