II was not often he spoke so roughly
to his wife, and a faint color crcpt into
her cheeks she turned away without
answering.
1t was only for his sake that she
had tried to keep her influence with
Harden; she believed it had only been
for his sake that she had suffered his
kisses that night. and that she had
lain awake plotting and schemlng. She
did not want the man; she wanted his

most of their opportunity for attack upon the
American navy
The Washington conference recognized tho fact
that the United States ought to nave navy, and it
even farther and determined the number and the
class of the ships that should be allotted to this coun-
try adequate for the protection Of the national inter
ests Obviously then the reasonable numerical strength
of the personnel should be sufficient to keen the de-
signacd number ships in cass condition all the
time.
But there are in the United States unfortunate
number sentimental pacifsts who cling to the deln
sion that war can be prevented by one-sded dsarna
ment And along with these fanatics there also exists
group Of cold booded consprators whose deadly pur-
pose is weaken government every possible way,
so that government shall longer have the power to
enforce the peoples will against the enemies of liberty
1t for the naval experts and not for the political
congressman to say what the numbers oe officers
required for the naval arm of the national
defense The people generally should be on their guard
against the demagogues and the traitors who make
progress toward peace and for leaving the
tion helpless before its enemies

The Republican State Assembly

The date for the Republican state assembly has
been set for August in the city of Denver at which
time and place candidates for the places on the state
ticket will designated subject to the approval later
Of the voters in the state primary.
There has been much criticism of the cumbersome
and expensive double system Of nominations re-
oured by Colorado law, lut rrespect Of the justice OF
those criticisms there is nothing else to do this year
but to fellow the law and to get the best possible re-
suits
Republican chances of in the coming elec-
the campaign and the probability is that there will be
numerous candidates for the various places the party
ticket. A desire to the party and the state In
this connection lauabe purpose, and it should be
encouraged The friends Of any candidate should feel
any anmity toward any other candidate or his support
ers 1t for the benefit Of the party and Of the state
that the best available candidates should be chosen for
all the Offices and this only be done in the open
field with fair consideration for every asprant.
The Cheftain believes that the conditions this year
require than the usual and discrimination in
the choice of the party candidate, but the Republicans
of the state in the assembly and in the primaries
be trusted to make the choice, and the people of the
state NAV be trusted to place the government in the
hands of those who arc most worthy TO execute that
trust.
The best and surcst way 70 get Republican success
in the election is to nominate the right candidates

Smith Voices Confidence
RiUals for Governorship
Both Predict Victory

Governor Miller was confident
last night that next Tuesday night
would see him reelected and for
mer Governor Smith was equally
certain that the Democrats would
be successful.
"The people are thinking" said
Governor Miller. ri believe that
they want good government, and
/ believe that they will support it
with their votes. Increasing evil
dence of this fact reaches me con-
stantly, and / do not think that
they are going to be misled by
false promises and misrepresen-
tations."
"No matter how much the rec
ord may be distorted" ran the
post-campa.gn statement of Mr..
Smith, mo matter how the facts
may be twisted, no matter what
false lights may be turned upon
the performance, the people can
be relied upon in the last analysis
to make the right selection. 1t is
that fact, well grounded in my
mind, that, above all others, gives
me SO much confidence in the sue
cess of our ticket on Tuesday

Door u. S. Aims.
Asserts Hughes
Nation Covets No Territory,
Asks No Special Sphere,
Declares Secretary, in
Outlining Foreign Policy

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 4.-Prin-
ciples Of American foreign policy were
described as Simple and readily
stated here tonight by Secretary
Hughes, speaking before an election
mass meeting in support of the candi-
dacy Of representative Fess for the
Senate.
I'VE do not covet any territory any
where on Gods broad EARTH" Mr..
Hughes declared. "We are not seeking
a sphere of special economic influence
and endeavoring to control others for
our aggrandizement. We are not seek
ing special privileges anywhere at the
expense Of others. We wish to protect
the just and equal rights of Ameri-
cans everywhere in the world. We
wish to maintain equality of CONNER
cial opportunity-as we call 1t, the open
door. That is not a derogation Of any
body else; the doo- is just as open to
others as 1t is to US. Equality means
eqrality. IT doesn't mean privilege. We
desire to see peaceful settlements. We
are most desirous to see the world
starting again on a sound economic
basis with every people inspired by
hope and girded to the highest achieve
ments in the interests of their pros
perity. Wherever we have had a
chance to promote peaceful settle
ments In this troubled world we have
taken It,"
Cites Mediati0ns Achieved
Mr.. Hughes called attention to the
arbitral adjustment between Panama
and Costa Rica, the ratification of the
treaty with Colombia, the Chile and
Peru negotiations Gin the friendly at
mosphere of Washington and the
Forthcoming Central American arms
limitation conference in Washington
as illustrative of the American purpose
and effort. At more length he drew
the picture OF the Washington Confer
ence for the Limitation Of Armament
and the parallelings Far Eastern ad-
justments.
As result of the general atmo-
sphere Of the Washington conference,
Mr.. Hughes said, China and Japan had
found it possible ito settle the serious
Shantung controversy" although that
