With him in connivance which not
improbably may lead to murder.
These facts are forcibly impressed
On us by a communication received
from William H. Anderson, State Su-
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League OF New York. In this he calls
attention to a threat which he says
he received and which he declares to
be "A sample Of the inevitable result
Cf the nullification doctrine preached
particularly by" and he names
leading newspaper of his city. Ac-
coppanying his letter is a copy Of his
address before the Central Y. NJ. c.
~ In which he criticised certain
nevspapers Of his city for not pub
fishing the threatening letter. saying
among other things: The truth is
th1t some OF them have created a
situation which has resulted in viola
ton OF the law by threat of MUIR
der and now they refuse to give the
public an opportunity to form its own
opinion as to the gcnuineness Of the
THREAT, in order that the situation
which they have created may be
cured in SO far as possible by public
reaction against not only the doc
trine preached in the letter and the
particular act threatened, which is a
mere incident, hut also against the
uttcranccs which have inspired the
letter"
