Written Specially for THE LEADER

Washington, D. C.-Two days OF in

shape the nations destinies in WASH
Iington dlscloses tnat the antI-Harulag
forces are jubilant over the nOmina-
tion Of Pierce Butler. of st. Paul, as
Associate Justice OF the Supreme
Court of the United States. They re-
gard the nomination as the big Dlund-
er of the Harding administration.
The appointment of Attorney-Gen-
eral Daugherty aroused a good deal
of discomfort. Those who opposed
IDaugherty when he was named today
made no ado about openly charging
that Harding is saddled with an ad-
ministration- -wrecker in Daugherty,
just as Taft was with BalliLgor. The
81 tod you SOS" have found certain
pleasure in the warfare Cn the At
torney General which has ended in his
open arraignment, but this is as moth
ing compared to their cttitude in re-
lation to the Supreme court.
The anti-Harding men have looked
sometime for an avenue of open and
and excusable attack on the activities
and operations Of the President. Now
they feel they have found it in what
they are pleased to term principle
and personality" rather than govern
mental party policy which, of course,
they feel impelled to safeguard.
Buffers nomination caused a fur
ore in both House and Senate. At
first it aroused mitigation, but as the
anttHarding men began to exchange
views, irritation changed to elation,
until the opposition to the nomination
crystalized into what the progressive
bloc regards as an opportunity.
Then, on top of this. came the re-
port, not uncontradicted, that the
much defeated Governor of the State
OF New York, Nathan L. Miller, also
is being seriously considered for the
Supreme Court. When the rocket was
fired every anti-Harding man felt like
a poker player who has Just drawn his
fourth ace.

Openly the opposition to Butler Is
being led by senator-elect Shipstead,
of Minnesota, who frankly says his
constituents promise to produce ample
evidence to show that Butler is not
qualified to sit on the Supreme court
bench.
Appearing before Senators Nelson.
Cummins, and Walsh of Montana,
Shipstead presented letter in which
1t was stated that "any attempt at
this time to place on the Supreme
court bench a man biased in favor

1t is openly charged that Butler has
been corporation lawyer so many
years and has so frequently fought
to obtain special privileges for large
corporations that he would be unable
"as a member of the Supreme court
to act with an unbiased mind that he
would in his decisions necessarily and
inevitable be influenced by his past
interests associations"
Shipstead contends that the ap-
