Judge Richard J. Hopkins, for a number of years a member of the Supreme Court of Kansas, was recently appointed Federal District Judge by President Hoover. His nomination came before the United States Senate for confirmation or rejection, and wets made an effort to set aside the appointment on the ground that Hopkins attended meetings of the Anti-Saloon League of America and his expenses were paid by the League. Judge Hopkins was a director of the Anti-Saloon League of America, representing his state, and occasionally his expenses were paid when trips were made on League business. The Senate let the wets howl and then confirmed Hoover's appointment by a vote of more than two to one.
