Former Senator
Joseph W. Bailey
Quits Democrats
Forswears Allegiance to His
Party in Newark Speech;
Attacks Dry Amendment
and Equal Suffrage Bill

NEWARK, N. j., March 2o.-Joseph
w. Bailey, former United States SEN
ator and lifelong Democrat, foreswore
ms allegiance to his party tonight in
an address before the members of the
Road Horse Association in Krueger's
Auditorium. He said that in the pres
ent administration the Democratic
party had turned it's back upon many
Of the things for which it has stood
since Jefferson's time.
"They have restricted the rights of
men, he said, "until no civilized coun-
try. on the globe interferes as much
with the habits, pleasures and business
of it's people as this free government
Of the United States.
II have no right to speak for others,
and If they choose to support the Dem
ocratic party after it has ceased to
support Democratic principles l rec
ognize their right to do so. But as for
me and for my house we will never
again vote for the candidate of any
party which constantly reduces our
liberties and unnecessarily increases
our taxes.
"Since Thomas Jefferson founded it
and first gave immortal utterance to
its creed, the Democratic party has al.
ways insisted that every state should
exclusively control the local affairs of
its own people, but Democratic Con-
gress inundated that time-honored doc
trine upon the altar of national pro-
hlb!tion, and majority voted to re-
peat the sacrifice in behalf of woman
suffrage"
Mr. Bailey charged the party had de-
serted its former watchword of ma
tional economy to create numerous use
less Offices
"The liberty that we have been
taught to cherish; the liberty we have
thought worth while fighting for and
worth dying for, is the liberty of the
individual-the right of every man to
do for himself and with his own what
ever he pleases, so long as he does not
interfere with the rights of other men
to do the same" he continued.
"But in this day they tell us that it
is better to he good than to be free
and they have multiplied our penal
statutes until the lawyers cannot carry
even an index of them in their minds"

Whalen Issues Orders
To State Welcome Body
Mayors Secretary Is Told Over
Telephone From Albany to
''NIind His Own Business

StdG Correspondence
ALBANY, March 20.--A new attempt
by the Hearst Hylan committee to cap
ture the state committee of welcome.
created to supersede the Hearst Hylan
organization, was made to-day. Tcle-
grams signed by Grover Whalen, as
secretary to Mayor Hylan, were sent
to all the members of the state com
mittee, ordering them to report at the
New York City Hall at $3.50 a. m. Tues
day "to assist in reviewing the parade
of the 9th Division"
Some of the Democrats on the COM
mittee telephoned to the New York
City Hall and told Whalen to mind his
own business. Meantime, some of the
men on the committee here held a
protest meeting and decided to go to
New York and meet at the Waldorf
Astoria at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning
regardless of the Whalen telegram.
Because of the refusal of the ma
Jorlty of the members on the COM
mittec to use the train being furnished
by the Hearst-Hylan committee, Hearst
sIo"'o are drumming up trade among
the page boys and clerks in the capitol.
Offers to make provisions for the wives
OF those who go on the train have been
made. AS result. large number of
pages and clerks will use berths that
the Hearst-Hylan committee hoped
would be occupied by judges of the
Court of Appeals. the State Board of
Regents, members of the New York
delegation in Congress, elected state
officers. and members of the Lcgisla-
ture.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The pres
ence at Coblenz of Frank H. Hitchcock,
former Postmaster General under Taft
and the mysterious boomer OF Charles
E. Hughes in the pre- convention cam
paign of 1916, caused much surprise
here, but no one seemed to know any
thing about it. This state of ''igno-
rance" is precisely like that in the
spring of 1916. when every one Won
dsred by what authority Hitchcock was
lining up delegates for Hughes.
There was much speculation as to
whether Mr.. Hitchcock has sized up
General Pershing as the logical candi-
date for the Republicans in 1920.
though politicians here believe that if
this is Mr.. Hitchcock's shunch" it will
not materialize SO strongly at the Re-
publican convention as did his work of
three years ago.
1t is denied that Mr.. Hitchcock is act
