“This action of Nicholas Murray But
ler is an attempt to Ingratiate himself
with certain elements which exercise a
determining influence at the convention
und possibly to explain his own politi
cal weakness.
“It is a self-seeking, cowardly attack,
made under the cloak of an alleged pub
lic sendee, which was never intended

“I regret to make a statement of this

LIBERALS PLAN WITH
EYE TO MERGER
CHICAGO, June 16.—Platforms of lib
eral parties which will hold their national
conventions here beginning July 10 and
11 are being worked out so they win fit
together in case it is decided to amalga
mate in support of one presidential ticket,
it was learned here today.
But the labor party and the commit
tee of forty-eight have practically de
filed on the presentation of duplicate
►labor planks to their conventions.
These planks, according to officials of
both parties, will differ only in their
wording and will provide for public own
ership of transportation, natural re
sources, stock yards, grain elevators,
telephone, telegraph, flour mills and all
basic industries.
The workers will participate in the
management.
The league of nations issue has been
left untouched.
The committee of forty-eight has opened
a campaign to popularize itself through
the'Circulation of pamphlets containing
declarations of principles adopted at its
St. Louis conference in December.
