Raleigh, Sept. 20. Failure , of the 1 Governor to name Thomas D. War reu associate justice of the supreme court in the place of the late. Justice William R. Allen during ? thW--'week end was a iitUe bit disconcertiner to tue "mien iun.es uut uey are back good and strong this week 1 with the support of Eastern Carolina for! the chairman of the" democratic campaign flcinmitcee in aaaiuon to a large num ber of endorsements from all sections of tbe state. . . . While it has been .stated that ""ihWf senator from North. Carolina was taking no part i , nthe appoint ment of the associate "Justice, Infor mation came ou today that the junior senator, Jj. a. uverman Jiady seirt fliown a very vigorous. (mdorsemezit?of the New Bern man, contendingjtmtt he should be appointed beca'useVire was eminei tly fitted for the place? by training and legal attainments, and because he came from agreatfOtectiof or tne state wnicn as not now-represented on the bench. ' ' - -l The eastern democrats, especially those fnm the northeastern part -of the state admit that Judge' Adams of Carthage is a very ftne man and that his record on "the su perior court bench deserves recogni tion and promotion, but thejr da not want t see him get this record, at the expense of a whole section of the state that now has no representative on the bench, and is not likely to have for sometime to come unless some man in that section can beat some- of the judges already on the supreme court bench. These eastern" people point out that under the primaryisys-i tern it is mighty hard to beat-a su preme court justice because .therei? a feeling that a man once elected "to the bench, .should be-Jtept thfrp.-Hg is much more valuable with" the ,ex-. perience he gains, and unless on east era man is appointed to '' succeed Judge Allen, who was an eastern man that sectn of the state has mighty V.ttle cliance of getting representation on the bench. " Not Peddling It. Governor Morrison has made il plain that he is not offering the place to any man unless he has very de finite assurances that the man . tc whom th" pbu-e is offered will accept appointment. For this reason hf has not considered the name of Judge J. S. Manning, who has informed friends of the governor and his owr friends that he does not ' want hi name used on account of persona! reasons. Hfr told his friends this when it was first suggested that ; he be named to succeed the man who de feated him in 1910 following his ap pointment to the bench by Governor Kitchin. He has no changed ; hi mind about that, and in view of this the governor declares that he has not seriously considered him, despite .the fact that he believes the elevation of the attorney general to the supreme court, would be one of the best pos sible appointments he could make ' The appointment of Judge Man nmg would meet the-territorial and P"ographical demands for a morr equitable distribution of the five places on the supreme court bench. " would place a man on the '.bend who could be a representative of th Jorth eastern counties, although -not coming from the extreme north east Adams Folks Hopeful.'- - , ine adherents of Judge W.
