C., Dec., 19.-Two days of 'intimate conversation with men who shape the nation's destinies in Washington discloses that the anti Harding forces are jubilant ever the nomination of Pierce. Butler, of St. Paul, as Associate Justice of the Su prome Court of the United States. They regard the nomination as the supreme blunder of the Harding ad ministr tion. Tne' alopintment of Attorney-Gen eral Daugherty aroused a good deal Pierce Butler Whose nomination to the U. S. Supreme bench. by President Hard ing has aroused a storm of criticism. Mr.- Butler is from St. Paul. lie was formerly ds corporation attor ney . .%n .. of discontent. Those who quietly op posed Daugherty when he was named today made 'no ado about openly charging that Harding is saddled with an administration-wrecker in Daugh erty, just as Taft was with Ballinger. The "I told you sos" have found cer tain pleasure in the warfare on the Attorney-General which has ended in his open arraignment, but this is as nothing compared to their attitude in relation to the Supreme Court. The anti-Harding ien have looked sometime for an avenue of open and excusabel attack on the activities and Peoples Mc Cli For ? - Bed Roon 95cto Pure Si ~C t "Ang'ora" Hat and S( Silk Pai * * ~ $3.50 .

At first it aroused indignatdtlon'bit As the'anti-i Harding men begun to ecchange views irritation'c an ed'to.eh tion, yntil the oppositioni"'to 1t1 e'omination cysthll ized into wht h progressive bloc re gards as' an opportunity. Then,. on 'top' of this,' came the re port, not iancontradicted, that the much defeated Governor of the State of New York' Nathan L. Miller,- also is being seriously consider for the Supreme Court. , When the rocket was fired every anti-Harding man felt like a poker blayer who has just drawn his' fourth ace. Shipstead Says iButler is Not Quali lied fo' Bench Openly the opposition to Butler is being led by Senator-elect Shipstead, of Minnesota, who 'frankly says his constituerits promise to'produce ample evidence -to show that Butler is not qualified to sit on the Supreme Court bench. Appearing before Senators Nelson, Cummins-- and 'Walsh of Montana, Shipstead presented a letter in which it was stated that "any attempt at this time to placeon the Supreme Court Bench a man biased in favor of corporate interests will arouse bitter resentment and critidism." It is o~lenly' charged that Butler has been a corporation lawyer so many years and has so frequently fought to obtain special privileges for large corporations that he would be unable "as a member of the Supreme Court to act with an unbiased mind that he would in his decisions neces sarily and inevitably be influenced by his past interests associations." Shipstead contends that the appoint ment of Judge Gary of the United States Steel Corporation would nob be more unfitting than the naming of Butler. When asked for specific incidents of corporate activity on the part of But ler, Shipstead referred to a report prepared by Delos F. Wilcox, a New York accountant, based on an exam ination of the Twin City Rapid Tran sit Company. This company, Ship stead said, with Butler acting as its attorney, used every artifice and tech nicality to prevent examination of its rcantile Co. STMAS La dies ?

This is not the qum total of the alleged unfitness of. Butler - for the Supreme Court Bench. It -is just an.' incident. Shipstead 'wants the' senatorial sub-committee io summon wittesses 'to fortify his uttaicknd -he names three tiniversit ypyfesoys among .tbbn, nemely S~tauhy $~yiins of 'the Un iversity of Ai 1nesota, (uer hard Dietrichson of the University of Illinoi, .and Felix Frankfurter of Harvard University, besides, a number of other distingtllshed citizens. "This is not a personal matter" said -Shipatead. "It is.not a political matter. .1 have nothing against Mr. Butler personally, 'but he ought not to be permitted to sit on the Suprume' Court of the United States, and this can be definitely denionstrated." Privately some of the anti-Hard ing Xnen admit of a belief that the nomination of Butler is likely to be confirme(l, but if it is, they say there is :no doubt the result will be a widening of the existing party divi sion. LaFollette will lead the op position to 'Butler in the executive session of the Senate, and he will be backed by Senator Norris. Al ready Butler is spoken of in legisla tive circles as "Boomerang Butler," and this is not to the liking of the White House, by any means.
