BUTLER A FAKIR, IS
GEN, WOODS RET0RT
TO FORMERS TALK

CHICAGO June 16.-Major General
Leonard Wood, in signed statement
Tuesday night, characterized as
vicious and malicious falsehood"
declaration by Nicholas Murray But,
Ter, President of Columbia University,
that motley group of stock
gamblers, oil and mining promoters,
munitions makers and other like per
sons backed the Generals campaign
for the Republican presidential nom
inatiOn.
General Wood said he regretted"
to make the statement, but that it was
necessary to brand fakir and to de-
nounce lie," declaring that the men
who managed his campaign were OF
extra ordinary high character"
The General said the attack upon
them lis Infamous" and that Mr.. But
ler's action was IAN attempt to in
gratiate himself With certain elements
which exercised determining influ-
ence at the convention"
Wood Reveals Statement.
The statement follows:
Il have read the statement issued
in New York by Nicholas Murray But
Ter to the effect that a motley group
Oh STOCK gamblers anu OlnerS at
tempted to buy the presidential NOM
nation for me, and that the forces
who were defeated in their insolent
attempt TO buy the nomination repre-
sent all that is worst in American bus
mess and political life.
The statement is a vicious and ma
licious falsehood. l would ignore it if
it We're directed at me alone, but
cannot remain silent when my loyal
friends and supporters are vilified.
Colonel William Cooper Proctor, of
Cincinnati, who was chairman of my
campaign committee, is a man of ex
traordinarily high character, known
throughout the length and breadth of
the land for his absolute integrity and
honesty.
His associates were men of like
character, most of whom responded to
their countrys call during the war.
They typify a group of progressive
Americans. The attack upon them is
infamous.
Extensive Backing Claimed
THE forces which brought me be-
fore the convention with preponder-
ant force were hundreds of thousands
of patriotic men and women in every
" din VI iilt, W no Ildu 1lluOI Stu lIe dL
nationwide state conventions, nation
wide state primary elections, and in a
nationwide poll of unprecedented
size.
This action of Nicholas Murray
Butler is an attempt to ingratiate him
self with certain elements which eX-
ercised a determining influence at the
convention, and possibly to explain
his own political Weakness
at is a self-seeking, cowardly at
tack, made under the cloak of an al
legged public service. which never was
intended or rendered.
Il regret to make a statement OF
this kind, but it is necessary in this
instance to brand a fakir and de
nOunce a lie"

Hunts 1.-THE Light of the World" The
figure of the Saviour stands knocking
the door with one hand. He carries a
light in the other. The attitude is
ivy twined, it has a look of remote
ness. Does any n really live within
its walls? Not a ray of light, not a
sound, no seeming response. There
He stands in gracious attitude-Sav-
ior, Helper. Friend, Brother. The
story is told after Hunt had finished
his picture some of his friends came
to see it, and to admire its exquisite
workmanship. AS they looked, n
said, Why Hunt, your door is abso-
lutely plain on the outside; where is
the latch? Very quietly the Christian
artist answered, Inside. That door
can alone open from the inside. Jesus
Christ cannot get in unless the life
behind the door opens the door. That
little company felt that was true not
only for the picture but for them
selves. Behold l stand at the door
and knock. If any man hear my voice
and open the door | will come into
lin. and will sup with him and he
with Me-" That's our Gospel. Do you
