WASHINGTON. ID c., Nov. 81
There is talk of opposition to the
confirmation Of Paul Butler, Demo-
crat, of st. Paul, Mimi, recently no
minated by President Harding tc be
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States to sue
ceed Justice William K. Day, retired.
II appears that Mr.. Buffers nomi-
nation is not pleasing TO some OF the
Progressive Senators, who declare ne
is a corporation lawyer, pure and SIM
pie and that his appointment to the
bench will not meet with favor among
the laboring classes Of the country.
it is said that Senator La Toilette,
of Wisconsin, and other Senators OF
his type are making careful nYestl-
cation into the record OF Mr.. Butler
with view of bringing the matter
before the Senate when the nomlna-
ton is reported out of the Senate Ju-
dietary committee.
The credit for the selection of Mr..
Butler is given in Washington to Sen
ator Kellogg, of Minnesota, a close
personal friend of the President, and
who has been associated with the St
Paul lawyer in several big cases in
which the Northwestern railroads
were involved. President Harding
believes, however, that the opposition
to Butler will not be strong enough
in the Senate to reject his confrma-
ton and he is having a poll made
with a view of finding out the exact
situation.
