BRYAN CHALLENGES
TAFT TO NAME MEN
Who BACKED WHITE
Nebraskan Shifts His Criticism
to Presidents Supreme Court
Appointments.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. lin an edi-
toriai appearing in the Commoner this
week. Mr.. Bryan challenges President
Taft to make public the written and
verbal recommendations on which he
appointed Justice White TO the position
Of Chief Justice over Justice Harlan
and the recommendations written and
verbal on which he appointed the jus
tees whom he has placed on the SUI
preme Bench.
The editorial says In part: AT Cher
ryvale, Kan. the President repeated the
challenge he issued at Detroit to Mr..
Bryan to produce an example of re-
straint OF trade that would not come
within the scope OF the Supreme Court
decisions In the Standard OH and To-
bacco trust cases. lie spoke of the crit
icisms as glib" 1t would be n refiec-
ton or the Presidents intelligence to
assume that he expects his remarks on
the trust question to be taken seriously.
II knows hat Mr.. Bryan has only
reiterated the criticisms contained IN
the dissenting opinion of Justice Harlan
and IN the report of the Senate judiciary
Committee filed by Senator Nelson three
years ago.
Justice Harlan and Senator Nelson
pointed that the amendment written into
the Jaw 10y Inc Supreme Cour; prac;.-
cally nullifies the criminal clause of the
Antitrust law. Relying on the author
tiles cited by Justice Harlan and Sena-
tor Nelson, Mr.. Bryan has asserted, and
asserts again. that 1t will be found
practically impossible 10 convict a trust
magnate in a crimlnal court.
Does the President believe a criminal
conviction possible? II so why does he
hesitate to prosecute the officials of the
Standard Oil and ToboCca companies?
mir. Bryan challenges him to make
public the written II verbal recon-
mendations upon which he appointed
Justice White to the position of Chief
Justice over Justice Harlan and the
recommendations written and verbal on
which he appointed the Justices whom
he has placed on the Supreme Bench,
