Is HIT
IN DRY ATTACK
Swung by Old Guard in De-
6ance Of People, Says
Anti-Wet Head.
IBy Universal serylce.)

New York, June 20.-Launching
an attack on the Republican party
and its candidates for public office.
William II. Anderson. state Su-
perintendeht of the Anti-Saloon
League, said in an address tonight:
The same old-guard gang which
swung New York to Harding in de-
fiance of the fact that the senti-
ment of the rank and file of the
Republicans in New York State
wanted Gen. Wood, and which is
trying to cram the wet United
States Senator Wadsworth down
the throats of the moral element
again, has decided upon Dir. Mich
olas Murray Butler. president Of
Columbia. rs the candidate for gov
eTnOr to be designated at the ur-
official Republican convention in
July.
This throws light on why DIR.
Butler, who was a mere stalking
horse candidate at Chicago, was
willing To he used by the old guard
tn defeat Gen. Wood. He has been
the sufservient tool of the old
guard and has been exceedingly
useful to them in giving them a
false front of intellectually and a
supposed atmosphere of the scholar
III politics.
"Of course, DR.. Buffers recent out
rageous attack upon the host of In
telligent conscientious progressives
who were behind Gen. Wood may
compel the old guard to drop him.
Possibly some old guard trickster
advised the doctor, whose political
sagacity is in inverse ratio to his
Willingness to do anything Mr.
Barnes and the old guard want.
THE main interest of the anti
saloon league j., the Butler candi-
dAcy for govern1r is the fact that
Dr.. Butler was up to his neck with
the old guard in the beer nulIifca-
ton conspiracy.

nounced in public statements Mr..

ton OF his office" and in general his
labor record since he has been
member of the Wilson cabinet.
The labor men particularly stress
ed Mr.. Palmer's use of the inS
junction during the recent coal

Mr.. Palmer will not apologize. His
managers here in a statement issued
tonight in reply to the attacks made
upor him said Mr.. Palmer would ac-
cept all criticism leveled at his use
of the injunction. He takes the po-
sition. they said. that he employed
the legal instrument, not for the
protection of any class or interest,
but for the protection of all the
people of the United states.
Supporters of Gov. Cox said the
Ohio executive always had been op-
posed to Mr.. Palmer's method Of ad~
ministering his ONCE and that the
Cox forces would stand by the la
Dor men in opposition to the attor-

Palmer's labor record since he has
been attorney general unquestion-
ably would bring about his defeat.
The Palmer forces, quoting from
Mr.. Palmer's Congressional record,
were quick with their reply to that
