SEP. 28: 1910. ■ OUR CANDIDATE. The Press and Standard warmly seconds the resolutions of the local bar association placing in nomination the name of Hon. W. B. Gruber as a candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of South Caro lina, This nomination is of course dependent upon the adoption of the amendment to the State Constitution providing for an increase in ihe number of members of the Supreme Court from four to five. But this amendment will be adopted, as the reasons for it are so many and so in sistent. Among these are the possi bility of a tie in case the court is evenly divided, and the increased amount of work devolving upon the court That the new meml>er should hail from the lower part of the State is conceded everywhere. The Supreme Court at present consists of the fol lowing: • Chief Justice Ira B. Jones. Lan- Icaster. Associate Justices Eugene B Gary, Abbeville; C. A. Woods. Mar ion; D. E. Hydrick, Spartanburg. . It will thus 1m* seen that the lower part of the Slate is without repre sentation and whenever it is neces- sary for an attorney of this part of the State to consult a member of the Supreme Court, which is quite fre quent, the distance to be traveled is imuh greater than is necessary. Therefore the logical candidate will hail from the lower part of the State. V\ There are from lower South Caro lina two prospective candidates one is the Hun. W\ B. Gruber and the other Judge R. W. Merr.minger of Charleston. Of these it appears to us that Mr. Gruber, aside from his superior personal qualifications, is the logical candidate. Thia judicial district has honored Charleston by giving the judgeship to Mr. Mem- minger; the congressional district is represented by Hon. Geo. S. Legare, a Charleston maq, and Judge Wil liam H. Brawley of the United States district court is a Charleston man, as is the stenographer for the cir cuit Chai lesion should not have all the plums. But aside from this irre sistible (Conclusion, the fitness of the two candidates, their legal attain ments and judicial frame of mind resolves itself into a choice of Coll ton’s candidate. We are of the opinion that the State Legislature would make no mistake in elevating Judge Gruber to a seat on the Supreme Court bench. 1 Jos.
