Senate Ap. provai After Nomination. -Washington, June 30.-4iorner Pres ident William Howard Taft was noin inated late today by President Hard ing to be chief justice of the United States and 'his nomination was con firmed by the senate in executive ses sion. The nomination was not confirmed without opposition, hdwever, and a roll call was demanded. The opposi tion was understood to have 'been voiced by Senator Borah, Idaho, John son, California, and fLa Follette, Wis consin, all Republicans, who were said to have criticized Mr. Taft's record and his nomination. On the roll call, however, only four votes were cast against confirmation. These were 'by -Senators Borah, John son and La Follette, and Senator Wat son, Democrat, Georgia. The final vote was 60 to 4. An agree ment was reached not to make a pub Ife roll call. The senate's doors were closed for discussion of the nomination after suggestions that Mr. Taft be con firmed in open executive session, be cauwe he is a former president, had been rejected by opponents. Senators Borah and Johnson led the fight on the floor In oprosition to Mr. Taft, w-hile he was defended by about a dozen senators, including Knox, Penn sylvania; Kellogg of Minnesota and Willis of Ohio, Republicans, and Un derwood of Alabama, Democratic mi nority leader; Smith of California. Overman of .North Carolina, and Groussard of Louisiana, Democrats. Senators Borah and Johnson were understood to have centered their fight on Mr. Taft's legal training, experience and qualifications. Ac cording to reports filtering out from the senate chamber Senator Johnson was said to have declared that Mr. Taft's appointnent was "purely -polit ical." A similar charge, it was report ed, was made by Senator Borah. Senator Johnson, it was stated, as sorted that Mr. Taft had not regarded h'imself as a lawyer but as a politician and had "a'bandoned" his profession after leaving the White House. The California senator, it was reported, said he had tried to disregard per sonal objections to the nominee and was voicing his opposition solely be cause Mr. Taft had lacked, for nearly a -generation or more, any legal ex perience which would fit him for the highest Judicial post of the nation. Reference was made, it was said, by Senator Borwah to the "drafting" from the supreme bench by the Re publican party of Secretary Ifughes to become the presidential candidate of the Republican party. In this con nection It was stated that Mr. -Borah made the statement that, "having tak en an able lawyer from the supreme bench four years ago, and made a politician of him, it. was now proposed to take a politician-a man who has devoted practically his mature life to politics-and .put bill on the supreme bench in the interest of party politics." The defense of Mlr. Taft, it was said, was led by Democrats. Senator Un derwood said ,that IMr. Taft hadi madle himself- "beloved by the South," add ing that this sentiment 'yas dlue large ly to illr. Taft's appointment when president of a Southerner, the late Chief Justice White, to the highest. ju dicial position of the country. Similar tatements, it was reportedl, were made by Senator Broussard of Louisiana, the native state of the late chief jus tice. Mr. Taft's legal learnIng was prais ed1, it wvas said, by Senators iKnox and Willis, the latter referring to his ex perience on the 'bench in Ohio. iSonator Kllciog'g, it was said, re fer'red to the positions of honor held biy Mr. Taft in bar and simiar asso ciation s. Southern senators, it was reported, with .the exception of Mr. 'Watson of Georgia, 'were solidly behind the ap pointment. Senator Smith. South Carolina, it was stated, discussed the race qluestion, commending bir. Taft, it was said, for refusing to rtppoint any but 'white men to oflce in South Carolina. 'Montreal, 'June 30.-"I[t has been the ambition of my life to be0 chtief jus tice," William '1i. Taft declared to ni-ght. "But now that it is gratified, I tremble to think whether I can wortb.ily fill the position and 1)0 use fuli to tho cotuntry." "I have received telegrams an nouncing that the president has nom inated me to lie chief justice of the United States andl that the senate has at once, confirmed. the nomina tion," said Mr. Taft in a signed state ment commenting on his apipointmtent as chief justice. "I am profoundly grateful to the presidlent for the confldence he has thug shown that I can dischargre the NT W CHIEF JUSTICE duties of the important office. I s'in cerely hloile that 'I may be able to show that hs confidence has not been misplaced. I highly appreciate the immediate confirmation by the senate.
