"I should like to know," inquired Paynter, "if when my colleague said the legisla ture of Kentucky is not always sane, he referred to the legislature that as sembled two years ago?" This pointed reference to the democratic legislature that elected Bradley to the senate caused considerable amusement. "I did not," promptly answered Bradley, "but I did have reference to the legislature that elected my colleague." And that turned the laugh on Paynter. HUGHES WILL RE CHIEF JUSTICE A Democrat Will Ho Given Portion of Associate Justice of Supremo ( Court. WASHINGTON, July 9. There is a seemingly fixed belief among offi cials in Washington, Including those whose duties bring them close to the president, that Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York, will be nom inated to succeed Melville W.. Fuller as chief justice of the supreme court of the United States. Mr. Taft had some difficulty In persuading Governor Hughes to ac cept the offer of a place as associate justice at the time of the death of Justice Brewer. It is thought that there would have been no hesitancy fin the governor's part If It had been 'he chief justiceship that was vacant. The president is known to have the highest regard for the legal ability of the governor. It Is virtually certain that the sue- j ce'ssor to Justice Fuller will be a re publican. Precedent Is enough in it self to make it certain that a party man will be given the high place. If Governor Hughes is promoted to the headship of the court there will be two vacancies In the ranks of the associate justices. One of these places will be given almost unques tionably to republican and the other one to a democrat. Lloyd Rowers May Get Place. When Lloyd W. Bowers came to Washington to take the place of bo-llcitor-general, the president Bald he held his administration fortunate In being able to secure the services of a man of Mr. Bowers' fine judicial mind and legal training. Belief has been strong that Mr. Taft always Intended some day to promote the solicitor-general to the supreme bench. It may be that If the objection to age were not In the way the democrat to receive the nomination for a place on the court would be Luke E. Wright, ex-secretary of war, and one time chief justice of the supreme court of Tennessee. Mr. Wright, however, Is several years younger than Asocial Justice Horace H.
