DEMOCRATS FOR
LAVISH OUTLAWS
Cannot Trust the Party to
Economize and Retrench;
Article 10 Is the Vice of
the Covenant, He Says.

tsy noasso JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wissi y
Trenton, N. j., Sept. 1S.-Charles
E. Hughes. In opening the republi-
can campaign in New Jersey at a
state rally here today, declared
that Maine, with an unmistak
able emphasis. points to the ver-
dict of the country; that the people
demand a change and with fresh
courage we shall resume the path
of well-ordered government. of
prosperity and progress"
1T Is idle to trust those who
have been in power during the war
period, with its lavish outlays. its
indifference to expense, its reckon
ing in billions as We formerly
reckoned in millions. with this
duty of economy and retrench-
ment,' Mr.. Hughes said. Their
experience unfits them for 1t. 1t
is equally idle 70 expect adequate
results from those who would fol-
low the same traditions and have
the same fealties."
Discussing foreign relations, Mr..
Hughes recalled the presidential
demand for a partisan congress
sional victory in 1918 which he
characterized as the "extraordi-
nary return for the veal and sac
rifices 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
we'll to recognize the fact that the
president had not the exclusive
treaty-making power. 1t was
wrong to give to foreign peoples
the impression of an authority
which did not exist. 1t was high
ly dangerous role for an American
president virtually to appeal to
foreign peoples against their gov
ernments."
Mr.. Hughes said there was no
serious controversy about the de-
STABILITY of an association or
league of free nations to aid in
promoting the peace Of the world
but the question is oneIof method
and its essential import.
OF Article X he said:
This article has been described
as the heart of the covenant If
it is the covenant has bad heart.
Article x Is really the vice of the
covenant. Why there should have
been SUCH tenacious insistence
upon 1t must remain a mystery,
unless it can be said to be due to
pride Of authorship"

PROPERTY DAMAGE IN
EXCESS OF A MILLION

New York, sept IS (by the AS
sociated- Press. .)---InVeStigation OF
the explosion in wall street Thurs.
day noon, which cost thirty-five
lives and did property damage eX-
ceeding 100000, broadly divid-
ed itself tonight into two separate
channels.
Firm in their belief that the dis
aster was caused by time bomb
planted by a band of anarchists,
who were also implicated in the
mail bomb plots in June, 1919, de-
partment of justice investigators
headed by Attorney General Pal
mer and William j. Flynn, chief OF
the departments bureau of inves-
tigation. have centered their eff
forts In seeking the identity Of tho
person or persons who deposited
five radical circulars in a mail box
near the scene just a few minutes
before the explosion.
These circulars, printed on cheap
paper and signed american Anar-
chist Fighters" threatened sure
death for all you" unless the "po-,
litical prisoners" were freed. They
bear a striking likeness, CHEF
Flynn pointed out, to those fouNd
in the Investigations of June, 1919.
Meanwhile police investigators
were concentrating their attention}
on trying to establish the Identity
of the driver of the dilapldated
wagon, which was abandoned near
the j. p. Morgan & Co. bank rev
minutes before the explosion ana
which Is believed to have con-
tained the internal machine.
Experts in the police bomb
squad. who have examined and
nieced together metal fragments
believed to have been part of the
bomb, declared the deadly missile
apparently weighed about ooo
pounds, 200 of which were the ex-i
plosive itself.
Department of justice agents
late today arrested an Italian stow
away on the outgoing steamship
Cedric on suspicion that he may
have been implicated in the plot.
He was taken to department head
quarters, questioned and later re-
leased, agents stating he had salts
factorily established his innocence.
The only other man being de-
tanned in connection with the ex-
plosion Is Edwin Fischer, lawyer
and former employe of the French
high com mission here. who sent
postcard warnings of the disaster
to friends in the financial district.
He was turned over to the
police of Hamilton, Ont. yesterday
by his brother-in-law, Robert
Pope. who said he was acting
uueerly. Fischer was later ad-
judged mentally incompetent by a
lunacy commission. and temporar-
lily confined in the Hamilton jail.

been sent to question him. and IL

plosion. to bring him back to New

SUGAR "GOUGERS" ARE
ARRAIGNED BY GOVERNOR

Oakland, Calf, Sept 1S.-Sugar
profiteers were arraigned here to-
night by Governor James M. Cox,
democratic candidate for president
in the third speech of his trans bay
program. Speaking from the ros-
trum where President Wilson made
one of the last speeches preceding
his breakdown, Governor Cox re-
viewed attempts by the president
to dethrone profiteers who have
reigned for "five long years--sor-
did, soulless, ugly and hateful"
, 81 am in favor, in circumstances
like this" the governor said. "ot
the government, through congress
supplying a rotary fund TO be
placed in the hands of the presl-
dent for the purchase of as much
of the sugar crop a. Is necessary
to prevent profiteering. If elected
in November l shall recommend to
the congress that this be done FOR
future emergencies in food sup
plies.
"The extent to which profiteer-
ing prevailed during the war and
especially since the signing of the
armistice, has been outrageous.
The amount stolen from house
holders of America in that time by
the profiteers would pay off the
greater part of the funded debt
arising from theswar itself.
at must be more than coin
cidence that the many profiteers
who were protected by the sena-
torial oligarchy in the present con-
gress are paying their share into
the republican campaign fund,
which I charge will not be less
than SIS, 100000"
Governor Cox will leave for Los
Angeles tomorrow morning.
