EXPECT ARMS PARLEY

Republican Leaders Have No
Illusions, He Asserts.

Special Despatch to TILE NEW YonK HERALD.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept. Looking
at least ten years younger than his
age and in rosy health and happy
spirits. William Gibbs McAdoo stopped
twenty minutes In Kansas City this
morning on his way to Newton, Kan.
where he is to deliver an address We'd
nesday night dealing with the present
national Administration.
The American valuation plan Of the
Fordney tariff bill came I'm for criticism
by Mr.. McAdoo and he intimated that
in his speech In Newton he would make
definite statements concerning the
tarfff bill.
Asked as to what President Hard
ing's armament conference In Noven-
Der may accomplish, Mr. McAdoo said
that nobody can foretell. but he added
significantly:
They (meaning the Republican
powers in Washington are preparing
already for failure of that conference
to do anything toward disarmament"
do you think the. United States will
join the League Of NationsT" he was
asked.
NO." he replied. Those fellows
haven't sense enough to do that.
Forty-four nations are working In
the League now. What can the United
States do without them and what can
they do without the United States?"

lutely no comparison In the positions
taken. They point out that President
Wilson appealed for a Democratic Con-
gress to hquidate a war which had been
won by non-partisan support. Both the
war and the peace crises have passed.
Republican leaders say. and the time
has come for frank expression which
shall determine whether or not the pub
lie Is ready to pass Judgment on what
has happened and upon what is oc-
curing.
II is well known the President believes
in party government and party respon-
sibility. He believes best results can be
obtained by such system as makes
It possible for the public at large to de-
termine whether one organization or an
other is best qualified to do the Govern
ment's work and eliminate the solo per-
formances OF individual leaders.
New Mexico SenatOrship.
1t is also known the President has
been smarting under the criticisms OF
Democrats directed against the Shipping
Board. whose Generalization, Republic
cans believe with apparent good reason,
Is due to inefficient management of the
war period. BY hts references to 4loney
saved by citing extravagances of the
previous ana lntll-
cheney in preparing war supplies. the
President In brief form has outlined the
fight which Republicans will make in the
next Congressional campaign and which
Is being tried out at the present moment
IN the. Senatorial election in New Mex
ico
Democratic leaders are unlhnbering
their big guns for attacks upon the
tariff. on the tax legislation. upon the
railroad funding measure the method of
handling the foreign debt and on the
Presidents handling of tho international
conferences through attempts to deal art
fully with the question OF publicity.
New Mexico Is regarded as nominally
Republican by about 5000 majority.
Democratic nope of winning the elec-
ton In based on the fact that former
Gov. Larzarado was defeated for the
nomination by Senator Bursurn Demo-
Gratis claim that rs per cent of, the Re-
publican. vote is either OF Mexican or
Spanish descent and the defeat Of Lar
zarado is expected to cause disaffection
in their ranks. An independent Re-
publican ticket has been put In the field
headed by Apolonia Sena. Both former
Governors Otero and Larzarado are sup
porting Sena.
The Democratic candidate Is Richard
A. Hanna, who was defeated for the
Governorship by only 1900 votes while
President Harding carried the State by
1900.
