by Nicholas Murray Butler that a

II have just read the statement issued
in New York by Nicholas Murray Butler
to the effect that motley group of
stock gamblers" and others tried to buy
the presidential nomination for me and
tudL tue forces WHU were uettdLeu III
their insolent attempt to buy the nOmi-

were hundreds of thousands of patriotic
men and women in every walk of life
who have indorsed me at nationw wide

primaries and in a nationwide poll of
unprecedented size.
This action of Nicholas Murray Butler
Is an attempt to ingratiate himself with
certain elements which exercised a de-

possibly to explain his own political
weakness.

made under the cloak of an alleged public
service. which was never intended or
rendered.

kind but it is necessary in this in
