WILSON GIVES REASONS
FOR NOMINATING BRANDE|S
Urges Confirmation on Senate
Judiciary Committee, but
No Action Is Taken
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON. May S.-President
Wilson's letter giving his reasons for
nominating Louis d. Brandeis for the
supreme court and urging confirmation
was read to the senate judiciary COM
mittee today by Chairman Culberson,
but no vote was taken and no time was
fixed for one.
President Wilson characterized the
charges against his nominee as 'intrin-
sically incredible to any one who really
knows Mr.. Brandeis," and declared they
proceeded for the most part from those
who hated Mr.. Brandeis because he had
refused to be serviceable to them in pro-
motion of their own selfish interests,
and from those whom they had preiu-
diced and misled." The president added
that the propaganda in this matter has
been very extraordinary and very dis
tressing to those who love fairness and
value the dignity of the great profess
sions."
The president wrote that he believed
the reports of the subcommittee which
Investigated the Brandeis nomination
had already made it plain that the
Charges were unfounded. He said he
had seriously considered appointing Mr.
Brandeis to his cabinet three years ago
and at that time examined his qualifi-
cations very thoroughly. He added that
he had tested Mr.. Brandeis by seeking
his advice on perplexing public ques-
tions and had dealt with him in mat
tiers where nice questions of honor and
fair play, as we'll as large questions of
justice and the public benefit were in
volved." The president characterized
Mr.. Brandeis as a friend of just men and
a lover of the right.
In concluding, the president wrote:
II beg that your committee will &C
cept this nomination as coming from ME
quick with a sense of public obligation
and responsibility
