BUTLER CHARGES
ATTEMPT TO BUY
WOOD VICTORY

NEW YORK, June 15.-Charges
that "a motley group of stock gam
blers, oil and mining promoters, mu-
milton makers and other like persons
seized upon so good a man as Gen
eral Wood and with reckless au-
dacity started out to buy for him
the presidential nomination" were
made in a statement given out here
last night by Nicholas Murray But
Ter, an unsuccessful candidate for
the Republican nomination.
"It was cause Of genuine sor-
row to me as to many others Of Cen
eral Woods personal friends" he
said, "to see him put in this unhappy
position. There was nothing to do
in order to save the Republican party
but to defeat the band of men that
accounts and their great financial in
f1uence. This meant that we had to
defeat General Wood himself"
The forces that were defeated in
their insolent attempt to buy the
nomination." he added represent all
and American political life. 1t is
really too bad that they hit upon
General Wood as their choice. They
should have found some one to sup
port for whom the country has less
respect and less regard" -. -.
THE chief task of the convention"
the statement said, was to prevent
the sale of presidential nominations
at auction to the highest bidder. Had
this not been done, the party faced
not only certain defeat, but crushing
dishonor. The sixty eight New York
delegates who voted for me on the
first ballot were the chief factor in
stopping the Hindenburg drive to
oVerwhelm the convention by the
power of unlimited money and by
strong arm methods in preferential
primaries
The story Of New York's sixty
eight votes for Butler shows, the
statement said, how General Wood
was defeated. 1t points out that the
first ballot gave General Wood a SUBJ
stantial lead and that "the first task,
therefore, was to bring the vote of
his nearest rival, Governor Lowden,
at least up to HOODS vote"
cit was this New York vote for
Lowden taken from the sixty eight
votes that had been cast for me that
gave Lowden his lead on the fifth
ballot and that enabled him substan-
TALLY to equal the Wood vote on the
ballot Immediately following. When
after the seventh ballot it was clear
that LoWden could not be nominated,
we helped the drift toward Harding
and on the ninth ballot became the
decisive psychological. factor by Civ
ing Harding siX>g-six votes"

Old Guard Nursed
Harding Boom at
1916 Convention

While David Lawrence and other
leading political writer's are telling
their readers all about Senator War
rem G. Harding as the picked candi-
date Of the Old Guard in the late Re-
publican convention-picked from
the start. in the event of a dead
lock, or possibly to defeat Wood and
Johnson-it is recalled that just four
years ago, before the preceding Re-
publican convention Ralph Smith,
special staff writer of The journal
and then it's Washington correspond
ent, stated positively in three news
dispatches to The Journal, that Sen
ator Harding then was the favorite
of the Old Guard; and that only a
nomination on or before the third
ballot would prevent him from being
put forward.
AS it CHANGED, Frank Hitchcock,
manager for Charles Evans Hughes,
had too firm. a grasp on the situa-
ton; and Mr.. Hughes was nomina ted
on the third ballot.
Senator Harding went unmention-
ed in the field Of candidates, which
included Theodore Roosevelt, Mr.
Hughes, John w. Weeks, of Massa-
chusetts; Charles w. Fairbanks, of
Indiana, and Theodore Burton, of
Ohio.
The Burton boom subsidized sudden
ly, due to his unhappy position on
the rivers and harbors bill; and Mr.
Smith writing. two days before the
convention opened. predicted that
it now was Harding the Old Guard
was holding up it's sleeve; and that
If there was no nomination by the
third ballot, Mr.. Harding would be
busted off and trotted out as the dark
horse, probably destined to win the
nomination.
Senator Harding, as Mr.. Smith
showed, was kept carefully in the
n o1r iYo Nf l. i
as temporary chairman and key
noter. But Mr.. Smith was certain at
the time, and told The Journals
readers at the time, that he was the
favorite Of the Old Guard, which was
and really stood for Hughes only on
that basis. Had it not been Hughes,
and Hughes on the third ballot, the
1916 nomination might well have
gone to the man named in 1920.

LONDON PAPERS
SEE GOOD CHANCE
FOR DEMOCRATS

LONDON, June 15.-The London
evening paper editorials on the Re-
publican nomination are devoted
largely to speculation on Senator
Hardings chances of election and
what effect that would have on
Globe and Westminster Gazette are
of the opinion that Senator Harding S
election is by no means assured If
the Democrats are able to find a
strong candidate.
The Globe thinks a Republican de-
feat Is not impossible if such a man
as William G. McAdoo or John w.
Davis were nominated.
The Westminster Gazette declares
that Great Britain must preserve
neutrality in a political conflict, but
cannot disguise its interest. 1t is
doubtful, in the opinion of the Ga
zette, if the November election can
settle the question whether the
United States will pursue a purely
American policy or take a hand in
international politics.
Had President Wilson been avail
able" says the paper. "he might
have boldly carried his banner into
the fight and rallied the majority
to him by the lofty appeals he
knows so well how to make. But
in his default it is unlikely that any
Democratic nominee win do this or
get the sanction of the Democratic
party for a pure League of Nations
doctrine.
ION the other hand the Republican
party does not entirely close the door
on American participation is world
politics and even seems to favor
some sort of extension of arbitral
methods in world affairs. The choice
of a safe man, in all events, saves
us from active pursuit of an anti
European policy by that party on it's
nominee, and to that extent there is
a point gained"
The Globe says, Senator Harding
is credited with favoring reversion
to that aloofness from world politics
which characterized America in the
days before. 1t is a perfectly intel
ligible point of view, but we venture
to think that Senator Harding, If
elected, will be compelled by force
of circumstances to soften something
of it's old rigidity."
The Star in an editorial says:
Senator Harding will represent in
the United States very much what the
coalition Liberals represent in this
country. He is the instrument, we
cleverest group of men in American
public life, the Republican senators.
The senate is doomed by the trusts.
Senator Harding is middle-of-
the-road Republican, and the social
reforms, which are as urgent in the
United States as they are here, will
receive from him, we fear, neither
sympathy nor solution"
The Morning Yorkshire Post be-
lieves that there is better prospect
of helpful European policy than we
could have looked for had the choice
of the delegates at Chicago fallen
on politician holding the opinions
on the subject with which Hiram
Johnson is credited"

CANADIAN EDITORS SAY
HARDING is REACTIONARY


MONTREAL, June 15.-Canadian
papers today devoted considerable
space to comment on the nomination
of Senator Harding for president of
the United States, and in general
this comment favored his candidacy.
Mr. Harding has a good reputa-
ton, is not an extremist, has shown
business enterprise and is thought
to have qualities that will commend
him to the voters" said the Mon
treal Gazette.
The Toronto Mail and Empire (con-
servative) said:
Senator Harding has been chosen
for no other reason than that those
responsible for his choice believe he
will win, because the party will unite
behind him. Under Harding, the peo-
pie of the United States may expect
the sort of government they re-
they have not received since"
The Toronto Globe (LiberaD rec
ognized Harding as second
choice" and says:
Public sentiment echoed IN the
chorus for Hoover from the gallery,
but the ;old, guard is always proof
not Of. the professional type of poll
tician, and the old guard prefer a
man who is safe from it's own point
of view. Harding has no black marks
on his public record and he illus
trates in his own career as self
made man, the qualities which appeal
to the bulk of his countrymen."
The Toronto Star comments on the
large sums of money spent on be-
half of men defeated, and says "yet
Harding is, perhaps, as sound a can
didate as could have been chosen"
The Manitoba Free Press says:
Senator Harding's candidacy is
not likely to make much appeal to
the restless and unattached voters
in the United States; and the Demo
tage of the last word in making
platforms and picking a candidate,
may find in McAdoo, or another, a
candidate that may appeal to these
elements"
The Montreal Star, however, says:
put new enthusiasm into the Demo
cratic ranks. The Republican nomi-
nee is not a national figure. He
stands for the very things which or
gained democracy has always most
strongly opposed. He is a represen-
tative Of Mckinley Republicanisn, a
thing which the Democrats have al
ways branded as arrant reaction. No
doubt the forthcoming convention at
San Francisco will make the most of
the, progressive ferment within the
ranks of the party and throughout
the country to identify Harding with
Wall street 'bossism' and the big
interests"
The Vancouver Province says in
part:
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Harding has been chosen because y
majority could not agree on one of
their favorites, he may prove to be
as good a candidate as one of the
leaders. He is as likely to be a
capable and worthy president. Most
and a safer president, if he gets thai
far, than Senator Johnson would be. !"
