Rep. Rabaut To
Make His Bid
For Judgeship
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-(U)-Stat-
ing that "I think it's time the Demo-
cratic party rewarded a winner in-
stead of someone who tried and
didn't make .it," Rep. Rabaut (D.-
Mich.) today announced his candi-
dacy to the judgeship of the Federal
District court, Detroit, left vacant by
the death of Judge Arthur J. Tut-
tle.
Rabaut referred to the recent un-
successful candidacy of Arthur Kos-
cinski for Michigan Secretary of
State. Koscinski, supported by the
Polish Democratic members of the
Wayne County Delegation, is now a
candidate for the judgeship.
Rep. Hook,. Ironwood Democrat,
said that while he would not actively
back any candidate because he was
not from Wayne county, he believed
"They couldn't make a better choice
than Koscinski."
It is traditional that President
Roosevelt defer to the wishes of the
state's Democratic congressmen and
national committeemen in appoint-
ing a new judge, though his choice is
[subject to Senate confirmation.
