Show RESENTIKG AN INSULT The Senate judiciary committee evidently evi-dently does not propose to pocket an I insult by the President nor to be trifled withby the executive It will be remembered re-membered that some time ago the Senate Sen-ate rejected the nomination of Shields of Michigan to be Chief Justice of Arizona The report against him by the judiciary committee was unanimous and the vote to reject in the Senate was also unanimous Shields however like Powers the infliction from which this Territory has just been freed is an odorous ward of that fellow Don M Dickinson the political boss who has had so much influence with the President Presi-dent to the great scandal off the Administration Ad-ministration Dickinson flew to Washington Wash-ington and induced the President to send in the nomination again on the representation that Shields had been rejected through a misunderstanding misunder-standing The Senate could not help looking upon the renomination as an insult it being regarded as a reflec tion on the honesty integrity and Intelligence In-telligence of the body for having rejected re-jected the fellow The judiciary committee com-mittee at once prepared an adverse report re-port on the nomination whichwas signed by all the members with the exception ex-ception of two Pngh and another Democrat and that report is now on the calender awaiting action As a matter of course Shields will be again rejected for to confirm him now would be a confession by the Senate that it had acted before without good cause and so another of Dickinsons pets will go out because he is unfit to stay in It is getting to be regarded as a rejection on a mans character to be recommended I for office by the Michigan boss |
