WiCKERSHAM IS DOWN AND
Oil [OBSESSION
Senate Votes to Pass Nomination Of Alaskan
Jurist and Vote Upon Other Nomina
tions That Are Pending
Washington. June 22.? The nomina
tion of James Wickershaiu to be judge
of the United States district court for
the Third judicial district of Alaska,
has been practically settled so far as
the present session of congress is con-|
cerned. Senators Foraker and Bailey J
forced a vote yesterday on the question
as to whether or not his name should
be passed for the purpose of taking up
other nominations. The vote to pass it
was 29 in the affirmative and 17 in the J
negative. It does not indicate the !
strength of the Wickersbam and anti- f
Wickersham forces by any means. |
Many friends of the Alaskan jurist j
voted in the affirmative because they
believed it to be useless to try to force a
vote at the present session and they did
not want other nominations that are
pending to go over for the session.
Therefore, it is admitted, that the case
has been side-tracked for the present
session .
The enemies of Judge Wickersham
say the president will not make a
recess appointment this year because
he could nr-ver be confirmed. They are
jubilant over the situation. It is con
ceded, however, that could a vote be
secured it would be overwhelmingly
for Wicdersham.
