JUDGE WASON SEEKS FEDERAL POSITION

Carroll-White Circuit Judge Aspires To Life Tenure Position on Court of Claims.

Judge James P. Wason, of this city, at present judge of the Carroll White circuit courts, is an applicant for a position upon the court of claims, Washington, D. C. He is strongly endorsed throughout the entire state; which together with the genuine merit won by him both in his public and private life, renders him a worthy candidate. An exceptionally able jurist, equitable in all things and with a straightforward career behind him, there is no doubt of his selection if given fair consideration.—Delphi Journal. Judge Wason, of course, has the united and earnest support of the members of the bar in both counties of his circuit, as well as in adjacent counties where he is well known. The position to which he aspires is a good one. It pays $4,500 or $5,000 per year and has a life tenure. President Taft has made an appointment to the vacancy, but it is probable that the senate will not con Arm it, and the many friends of Judge Wason are hoping that he may be selected. - Monticello Journal.
