a lapse in his game temporarily ana
sent many Of his returns into the net.
A few minutes after the start OF this
set Williams had won by score OF

Williams took the next three games

came the seven-minute rest period.
Those who expected to see the for

set were in for a surprise: Roberts

some mysterious source--probably
the Shoe Machinery Trust
ed money is being used TO food the
country with anti Brandeis litera-
trre. Editors, commercial organiza-
lions. bar associations and even col
leges have been flooded with copies
OF the so-called brief, the same be-
ing merely unsupported charges
against Brandies made by volun-
teer committee of the old-time enc
mics incurred by Brandeis in light
ing many battles for the public well
fare. There were no briefs nor any
findings based on briefs.
The printed matter Is made to ap-
pear legal and formal and many
people might suppose that II repre-
scented something Official. The truth
IL that the official finding thus far Is
i'm Brandeis' favor. A majority OF
the committee which made the In
vestigation recommended his con-
firmation.
The Brandeis opposition has been
playing for delay The case was re-
ported weeks ago to the Senate
Committee on Judiciary. but mem
bers OF this committee have held
many meetings and have failed TO
report. According TO last accounts
the committee was lining up in a
partisan way. President Wilson has
brought influence 10 bear on such
we'll known reactionaries on the
committee as Overman. O'Gorman
and Hoke Smith. all OF whom have
been brought into line for the
Brandeis confirmation. On the 9TH

solidly against him. Works and
Cummins went on record as mem

Wyoming has been an active leader

Brandeis. Knute Nelson, remember
ing the old Ballinger feud. has lined
up with Clark and Cummins; Dill
lingham OF Vermont. Suth~iand OF
Utah. Brandegee OF Connecticut. are
counted naturally In the reactionary
opposition. Senator William f..
Borah of Idaho has been the only
uncertain factor on the Republican
side. Borah has been looking into
the evidence taken at the hearings
and says he has not yet made up
his mind. On the Democratic side
John X. Shields of Tennessee has
been an unknown quantity. Shields
"a the author OF the hydro-electric
water power grab measure which
went through the Senate short
time ago and his connections and
political bias are all opposed TO the
things for which Mr.. Brandeis
stands. The sinister influences
which have worked through men
like Brandeis and Clark on the Re
publican side have felt confident
they could use Shields in the Bran.
