FREEMAN EXPRESSES
BELIEF IN VICTORY
FOR BALTz BESCHER

mo one can convince me that Law
renee Handley has a chance to be
elected mayor with our Republican
majority in this city, said Gath Free
man, at meeting of Republicans of
the seventh and eighth wards at the
West Side hose house, Tuesday night.
What would be the use of electing
Mr.. Handley mayor? If the mayor is
at variance with the city council he
can do nothing Why then should we
elect Mr. Handley when we will have
Republican council? The Demo
Gratis have nominated only three ward
councilmen and one councilman at
large Providing all four were to be
elected, the Republicans would still
have a majority in the council.
"In view of the situation, why not
elect Baltz Bescher and have man
who can work harmoniously with his
city officers? Why should the city be
hampered with a Democratic mayor
Were Mr.. Handley to be elected and
appoint board of works not desirable
to the council, the council could do
away with the board and handle the
work itself. Richmond is a third class
city and the statutes provide for such
action.

going to vote for Mr. Handley. II
would be different if we had an un
worthy candidate. But we have q

"He has learned the city's business
from beginning to end. What qualities
does Mr.. Handley have that would bet
ter fit him for the Office than Mr.
Bescher? Handley is a good man sc

ARMS ENJOYS WANT
SECRET SESSIONS TO
SHUT OUT PRESSURE
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Noy 2--In bring
ing the story of the coming arma-
ment conference up to the last min
ute The essence of the situation as
it exists today is to be found in two
sentences in Ambassadors Harvey 5
speech Monday night.
Back of all their statesmen and
publicists,' he said stand in wistfui
hope the entire people of our COM
mon race. The conference is to be a
great test, not of the sincerity of peo-
pie, but of the capacity of existing
governments to satisfy the universal
lonking for peace, prosperity and hap
piness."
To utter that last sentence called
for some courage on the part of AM
bassador Harvey, in the role OF rep
resentative of one government with
in the court of another government.
1t is fact that a true picture of the
situation as it exists on this ninetieth
day preceding the conference por
trays the various governments rather
astonishingly on the defense against
their own peoples.
It is true with our own government
and it is true with the delegations ar
irving here daily. They seek to pro-
tect themselves against pressure from
the people That is one reason foI
the unfortunate DECISIONS to have the
sessions secret. That decision was
/ based as much on the desire of the
/ delegates to keep what the public
| thinks and says outside the confer
ence room as to keep what they
themselves say on the inside OF the
conference room.
