Mr. Kenyon said he hoped to cast a

Should precedent establish that he
had not the right. Mr. Kenyon added
that he thought he had been on the
senate floor this morning "for the
lat tune, as a senator.
"The president has known since
our service together in the senate
that political life did not appeal to
me and that my ambition Aas to
serve on the federal bench," the sen
ator said in his statement. "When
a vacancy occurred last fall in the
federal district judgeship in my state,
some of my friends suggested my
name to him and he indicated his
w illingness to appoint me. The leg
islative situation was such then that
it seemed to me I could not accept.
The situation is somewhat different
now, as the West Virginia investiga

Newberry case, and a large portion
of the agricultural program has been
put through.
"The question is presented to me
again, as to the circuit judgeship in
the Kighth judicial circuit and the
president, knowing ir.y ambition and
iicsires for service on the federal
bench, and at the solicitation . of
some of my friends has tendered me
the appointment of circuit judge for
that circuit, which 1 am pleased to
accept and have notified him. I am
deeply appreciative, of the act of the
oresiaent in annomtincr me to this
position."
Salary $8,500.
The Eighth circuit, to which five
judges are assigned, includes the
st-tcs of Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa,
Arkansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Utah, New
Mexico and North and South Da
kota. The salary of a circuit judge
is $8,S0O and that of a United States
senator $7,500.
Entering the senate in 1911 as the
successor of Jonathan P. Dollivar,
Senator Kenyon rapidly rose to a
place among the senate leaders, hav
ing previously become well known
as assistant to the attorney general,
in which office he was the. govern
ment's representative in a number
of big cases. He was re-elected in
1913, and again in 1919. He, at
present, is chaintian of the senate
education and labor committee and
holds membership on several other
important committees.

Rome, Jan. 3t. (By A. P.)-In-
terest m the choice of a successor
to Pope Benedict is incrcasinor as
the time draws near for assembling
of the sacred conclave, and many at
tempts to find an indication of the
result are being made.
Cardinal Laurenti, secretary of the
congregation of the propaganda, al
though raised to the purple enly last
year, is understood to be favored by
at least 30 members of the sacred
college, who believe in a rapproche
ment with the Italian government
At the same time he is said to be
acceptable to those opposed to closer
relations with the quirinal.
Ready for Compromise.
The name of Cardinal Mafli, arch
bishop of Milan, mentioned previ
ously as favored by the "pease group,"
headed by Cardinal Gasparri, is not
heard so often now, and the section
headed bv Cardinal Merry Del Val,
which had been credited with favor
inor Cardinal Mafli, archbishop of
Pisa, is reported as ready for com
promise before the balloting begins.
Several cardinals, including
Bourne, archbishop of .Westminster,
visited the conclave quarters after
the so'emt. requiem mass in the Sis
tine chapel yesterday. Cardinal
Bourne appeared especially anxious
lest in the drawing of lots he be as
signed to rooms on the top floor.
"The elevator docs not appear to
be working reliably; I hope young
men like you are selected by fate
to occupy the upper stories, he re
marked to Cardinal Vennutelli, dean
of the sacred college, who is 85 years
of age.
"The Lord will provide," respond
ed the latter. f
Will Not Postpone Conclave.
An incident yesterday in the Sis
tine chapel, when a member of the
pontifical choir became demented, has
caused the Vatican officials to can
cel all permits to enter the chapel
this morning.
The suEKestion made in some of
the Italian newspapers that the con
clave may be postponed to permit the
attendance of the American cardi
nals, who are now on their way to
Rome, is not taken seriously by
members of the sacred college. The
correspondent is informed that the
conclave will convene Thursday, as
was originally planned.
