The list Is now being referred to as Washington's “booze who.” Kdward McLean, publisher of tho Washington Post, is the host to Presi dent and Mrs. Harding in Florida on the yacht Pioneer, now cruising down : tiio Indian river toward Miami. Hun dreds of telegrams were sent to Mr. i McLean Monday by. prominent per sons, whose names had not yet been [ published in connection with tho liq uor list, beseeching him not to per mit their publication should they happen to appear on the list.

In the editorial, the Post j says that “a request to a ne wspaper ! tfi suppress legitimate news is similar J to a request to a merchant to quit selling certain legitimate • goods. ■ AYhenever a newspaper of general cir culation favors a certain individual, group, class or section it risks its reputation and is immediately indicted for had faith.” In view of the president's firm ^^sdand for respect for the Jaw by all ^^•fUrsons. it is believed here that this had an influence upon his host In de termining upon publication of this list.
