SAYS PEOPLE
WANT CHANCE
CALL FOR THE RETURN OF A
WELL ORDERED GOV
ERNMENT

Trenton, N. j.. Sept. 21.--Chas.
Evans Hughes, in opening the re
publican campaign in New Jersey at
a state rally here declared thaS
Maine with an unmistaka Bile empha-
sis points to the verdict of the coun-
try; that the people demand a
change. and with fresh courage Eve
shall resume the path of well order
ed government, of prosperity and
progress.
"A general election" said Mr..
Hughes, "is the great assize, the
only time when administration is
brought to an accounting We are
not censorious people. but levity
in passing judgment upon officers
of government and political parties
i'll becomes a democracy. The best
surety of the future is not in the
promises of platforms, but in the
certainty of rebuke for maladminis-
tration and in the checking of
harmful tendencies by the displace-
ment of those responsible for them
and the refusal to invest with DOW
er those who would continue or
condone them. We endeavor to ap-
preciate accurately the mischief, not
simply to be critical, but to point
the remedy and the future course.
1T is idle to trust those who have
been in power during the war period
with it's lavish outIays, its indiffer-
ence to expense, its reckoning in
billions as we formerly recognized
in millions, with this duty of econ
omy and retrenchment," Mr.. Hughes
said. ''The experience unfits- them
for it. 1t is equally idle to expect
adequate results from those who
would follow the same traditions
and have the same fealties."
Discussing foreign relations Mr..
Hughes recalled the presidential de
mand for partisan congressional vic
tory in 1918, which he characteriz-
ed as the extraordinary return for
the zeal and sacrifices of republicans
in support of the administration in
the conduct of the war.
Continuing he said:
There was no need for such ex-
tremes of exclusiveness and denial
of participation in prosecution OF
policy. Republican leaders had long
looked to an association of nations
to aid in securing the peace of the
world 1t would have been well to
recognize the fact that the president
had not the exclusive treaty making
power. 1t was wrong to give to for
authority which did not exist. II
was highly dangerous role for an
American president virtually to rp-
peal to foreign peoples against their
governments"
Mr.. Hughes said there was nc
serious controversy about the desir-
ability of an association or league
of free nations to aid in promoting
the peace of the world, but thG
question is one of method and its
essential import.
OF Article 10. he said:
This article has been described
as the heart Of the covenant II
1t is the covenant has bad heart
Article 10 is really the vice Of thu
covenant. Why there should have
been such tenacious insistence upol
it can said to be due to pride o.
4 authorship"
In host of contingencies nov
unforseeable, declared the formcl
justice. 1t will be necessary to de
pend upon the intelligence. goos
sense, firmness and sincerity of th'
president to be elected. and in thi
i connection Mr.. Hughes said Sena
tor Harding Invites the confidence
OF the country"

ITALY WILL NOT AID
Nitti Declares That Treaty Will be
Rejected by Turkish People and

| San Reno. April 2+.-The Turkish
treaty has been almost finished by

opinion Of the treaty to the COUNCIL,
saying: ~ am constrained to tell yor
that THIS treaty, 10 r:y mind. is a
nor,' imperfect production than any
king the peace conference has done.
You vii! have war in Asia Minor
and isaly will not send a single SOL
i:er nor pay single IRA.
"You have taken from the Turks
their sacred city of Adrianople," said
Sigror Nitti. You have placed their
capital city under foreign control;
you have taken from them every port
ard the larger part of their terri
tory, and the five Turkish delegates
whcm you will select will sign a
treaty which will not have the sane
ton of the Turkish people or the
Turkish parliament
The boundaries of Armenia have
rot yet been listed and the n=w re-
public will probably be rather con-
tracted, as it is believed the smaller
the country the more easily can i
take care of itself, because If toe
many Turks are left within its con-
fines they might overthrow the gov
ernment.
Il is understood that the mandate
for Armenia will be Offered to Canada,
Sweden or Spain.
The council leaves Smyrna Under
the suzeranity of Turkey, but places
the city and province under the ad-
nr:riiistration Of Greece.
In its discussion over relations with
Russia, it is understood the council
will not treat the subject as an allied
question. 1t has already been decided
that as the allies were net a wan with
Russia each ally is free TO have SUCH
intercourse or non-intercourse as i
may deem fit.
The council hopes to leave far
Reno on Monday night.

THREE CARS VANISH
CUmmcnweallh's Attorney Of Capital
City Now Engaged in Investigating

Richmond, April 24.-Members Of 4

the problem will meet in initial ses-

rording to announcement.
Mr.. Wise Stated last night that
three carloads OF sugar had been re-
ceived in Richmond over the. Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
within the LAST several days, but what
had become of it was a mystery. lie
believed that more will follow.
NJ. yesterday obtained lim-
;sel supply of sugar to be DISTRIBUTED
in urgent cases where there is sick
ness. or other extreme necessity. Inc
sugar was Obtained through the cf-

trfct Of Virginia stated last nigh; thai
Richmond wholesalers and jcbbers
who have been offered sugar at 27 IL
cents b. New York brokers have been
requested hv his department. 70 re-
port the names OF these Offering the
commodity.
While Mr.. Smith believes that sugar
is being speculated in and that it Is
beirg boarded for a higher price than
now is beiag demanded. he is. inclined
to give the retailer a clean<b.l 81
health. The price of sugar to the ul-
innate consumer, even though it were
to reach So or So cents. he said, is no;
to be taken as, Jam indication that re-
tailers are profiteering. To the cog
tra,y. Mr.. Smith thinks, they may be
going the public a real service in get,
ting sugar to Richmond and offerins
it at any price, granting tha: their
margin of profit is small, that Is
not over 9 or 8 cents pound.
