For about three months the judiciary committee of the U. S. senate has been considering the recommendation of President Wilson for the appointment of Louis Brandies to the supreme bench. Not hoping to reach an agreement the committee is now about to return the nomination to the senate without recommendation. There are 18 members of the committee, 10 democrats and 8 republicans. All the republicans are opposed to the confirmation. Two democrats are also said to be strongly opposed and two others favor returning the nomination without recommendation. Evidently Mr. Brandies is not the proper man to become a justice of the supreme court.
