laJlng the record OF grant OF the
democrats when he, himself, as as
sistant secretary of the navy under
Edwin L, DENLY, ordered the United
States marines to drive "squatters"
off Teapot Dome territory so Sin
clair and Doheney could steal the oil
lands supposed to be held for naval
reserve.
Another demogogic trick was the
reference to the fact that liberty
bonds were selling below par under
the Wilson administration and now
they are selling at par, The eminent
patriot did not deign to mention the
fact that the bankers bought them be-
low par when the masses of workers
who had been forced to buy them
were selling them and that they were
again boosted up to par when the
bankers had them in their hands.
KEING afflicted with the customary
- modesty of politicians, young
Roosevelt claimed credit for every
thing under the sun. Wages, accord
ing to the Oyster Bay oracle, are
higher than in European countries
because of the operation of the Ford
ney-McCumber' tariff act. "As l see
it," said Roosevelt, ''the most i'm
portant measure for the working
man and working woman in the
United States is the tariff. 1t is the
bulwark which stands between them
and cheap foreign labor. The tariff
has created and maintained this aver
age wealth and these wages"
He refrained from mentioning the
high tariff granted the textile in
dustry and the miserably low wages
prevailing there. Like all other
palpable funds in the realm of eco
Monies young Roosevelt relies upon
the astonishing ignorance of the
masses to avoid being laughed at
The thing that regulates wages is not
the tariff, but the reserve army of
labor; the army of unemployed. This
army has increased at times to
tremendous proportions under high
protective tariff the same as during
periods of low tariff and even today
there are unmistakable indications of
the beginning of a period of indus
trial depression in spite of the Ford
ney-McCumber tariff. This sort of
clap-trap may pass muster provided
there is no deep going industrial
crisis before the election, but it will
have to be discarded the moment the
panic arrives, just as it was dis
carded in the 1907 panic when Roose-
welt, the elder, was president of the
United States while high protective
tariff was in operation.
\ PIECE of genuine stupidity was
Al the reference of Roosevelt to the
league of nations as "thoroly I'M
American" Who would expect the
league to be 100 per cent, protestant,
nordic, native-born, while 100 per
cent American, according to the ku-
klux cred6?

TUCSON, Nov, 20 .tH9--Sustaining 2,
motion of defense attorneys, Judge
William H. Sawtelle. of the United
states district court, here today dis
missed the case of conspiracy to
violate the United States neutrality
laws against Bishop Juan Navarrettc
of Sonora. Mexico.
The same motion has been made
for Jose Gandara El Paso photo
grapher, and E'steban Borgaro, Jr..
Tucson art curio dealer. Their trials
were being tried Jointly with the case
of Bishop Navarrette in U. S. district
court here.
The action on the part of the court
came after Judge Sawtelle had taken
the motion under adviSement last
Saturday The defense contended In
the motion that the trio, including
the prelate, were charged with having
incited revolution, when the revc-
luton in question was already under
way. The defense on that ground,
asked for an instructed verdict, which
in the case of Bishop Navarrette, was
granted.
Gandara and Borgaro, however, are
accused of having supplied arms and
ammunition as well as incentive to
the Yaqui Indians of Mesquital VIII
.slage and other Indian camps near
Tucson, and in their case Judge Saw
telle will hear arguments for the
defense and the governments attor-
mes tomorrow morning.
Gandara, who testified in court
today of his deep sympathy for the
Yaqui Indians and their cause, told
of his mother and grandfather having
been killed in Mexico He told of
supporting about 60 Yaqu:s, and of
supplying arms and ammunition for
them in the United States.
He declared, however, that he had
not intended to violate the neutrality
laws of the United States, and at
the time he shipped the arms TO the
Tucson Yaquis he ordered them to
hold the munitions on the American
side Of the boundary until he re-
eeived word from Washington that
the arms embargo had been removed.

COMMIT TEEMEN |
Announcement Overshad-
Ows Interest In ChOOs-
ing Convention City

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 lP)-Inter-
est i'll the selection Of a convention
city here next week by the republican
national committee was overshadowed
today by speculation regarding the
announcement that President Cool
idge contemplates an address to
members of the committee when he
receives them in the east room OF
the White House
The announcement was not ac-
companied by any indication as to
what the president intends 20 sSy.
but the fact that it was made at
a regular White House press ccT-
ference gave weight to the sugges-
ton that his remarks may be OF
more than passing interest to the
pu'Oc.
presumably because Mr.. Coolidge
has maintained unusually close coun-
sci with himself regarding his pollt-
ical plans since he issued his do
not choose statement in the Black
Hills, the committeeman are coming
to washington processing more or less
perplexity as to the presidents IN
tentions. Although number OF them
declared themselves to be so carrier
in the fall, when they met here at
the call Of Chairman Butler, Mr.,
Coolidge did not avail himself OF an
opportunity to enlighten them at a
White House breakfast to which tl.ey
were invited.
Since then, however, the White
House has felt it necessary to re-
pudiate an attempt through the cir
culation of petitions to force the
drafting of him as the republican
nominee next year, but whether the
apparent inability of the public to
make up its nlind~ es to the exact
meaning of the Black Hills state
ment has moved Mr.. Coolidge to
contemplate some additional remarks
is something totally in the realm OF
speculation.
The exact time at which the mem
bers of the national committee Will
be received at the White House still
is to be determined although II
probably will be Tuesday. After an
executive meeting of the committee
Monday the question of convention
city will be taken up by the whole
committee Tuesday with a selectlor
expected Wednesday.
Meanwhile group of cities is
waging campaigns for the convention
with San Francisco, Detroit ano
Cleveland appearing to figure most
prominently in the discussions of the
committNemen In addition to select
ing a convention location, the com
nlittee will decide upon a temporary
convention chairman.

WARE CONFIDENT

Senat0r-Elect Issues State
ment on SIush Fund
Accusations

WASHINGTON, NOV. 20 OWL
liam S. Ware Of Pennsylvania, one OF
the two men around w1iom Is to re-
volye one of the most bitter contests
in the senate in several years, came to
Washington today with an announce
ment of his entire confidence that he
will be seated
Frank L. Smith, of Illinois, whose
right to senate place also is chal-
lenged because Of primary campaign
expenditures, will arrive in a day or
two for conferences with his friends
before the conflict begins on the floor
with the convening of the SEVENTEEN
congress Monday
While the two senator-elccts will be
asked to stand aside when they present
themselves for the oath of office, re-
publican leaders are hopeful of an
agreement to defer the war of words
over their right to seats until the
senate can be re-organized and the
way cleared for President Coolidge TO
send up his annual message Tuesday.
Senator Elect Ware said he came to
Washington with "the absolute ex-
pectation," that he would take the
seat ito which the people of the state
of Pennsylvania elected me.
"The right of state to representa-
ton is fundamental, he declared.
"Our whole national life began on this
issue. 1 have never been able to pic
ture. the United States senate invad-
ing that right because of political ex-
pediency, nor co 1 now anticipate
such a procedure.
"My confidence, therefore, is nat

will determine beyond question the
legality and the propriety of every
expenditure made by the campaign
committee. We followed the letter of

primaries, where it does not legally
apply, and we followed the spirit of it
in both campaigns.

League Of Nations
Resun1e es Driue To
Reduce Arrr1dn1ents

of the Washington treaty to Auxiliary
Warships met with failure
By the Washington treaty limit
alton was fixed on the battleship
strength of the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France and Italy. In
addition to this, the conference placed
a limitation upon aircraft carriers
and declared that the maximum
tonnage Of individual cruisers should
be 10000 tons with maximum gun
ECf inches. No limit was placed for
the number of cruisers and it was
this omission which last summers
three-power naval conference tried
to correct.
More than that, the three-power
conference endeavored to secure all
agreement for the limitation of de-
stroyers and submarines. Success was
practically achieved with reference TO
destroyers and submarines but the
/ conference collapsed chiefly because
Great Britain and the United States
were unable to reach an agreement
and the "eight-inch gun cruiser. ;"
Great Britain wanted the United
States to say definitely just how many
of these cruisers she intended to
build, and wanted the number re-
duced to the lowest possible figure
The American delegation refused to
| tie the hands of its country as to the
type of future cruiser construction
insisting upon liberty as to the size
of vessels within the total limitation
Of tonnage to be prescribed by the
treaty. Great Britain was not ready,
moreover, to establish a total limit
alton figure low enough to meet
American views concerning a real re-
duction of total cruisers strength.
Some optimists go so far as to hope
that the projected general conference
for reduction of ornaments on sea,
on land and in the air may discover
solution of the problems which
brought about the collapse OF the
Geneva three-poWer conference The
preparatory commission, which meets
tomorrow has already prepare da draft
treaty on disarmament, but 1T is
generally recognized that this draft
shows so many Emergencies OF views
en- various points that it is prac-
tically valueless as an instrument for
presentation to an international con-
ference.
The September assembly, of the
League Of Nations, after an uneXpect-
edly promising debate on the whole
problem of disarmament, gave a new
angle to the question. This was that,
after all, men cannot expect really
to achieve the goal of disarmament
until nations possess a greater sense
of security than is afforded by the
Locarno agreements, the covenant of
the League itself and the various
treaties of arbitration which have
been concluded between nations since
this signature of peace at Versailles
hence, the decision to set up a spec
ial committee on security, which the
main preparatory disarmament COM
mission is to appoint tomorrow, and
which is to labor simultaneously with
the disarmament commission. The

GENEVA, Nov. 20, QPl-Tn reSuming
tomorrow its disarmament drive, the
League of Nations again is tackling
its hardest assignment, and League
of Nations leaders frankly admit that
the problems connected with nation
al defense, and particularly the PROC
EN- of national defense, and particu-
larly the problem of reducing arma-
ments, are questions requiring infin-
ite patience and years Of unremit-
ting toll.
The end of the world war left the
conquering nations with huge arna
ments which in many countries have
gradually been reduced; nevertheless
the burden upon the taxpayer is
still SO enormous and peace lovers in
many countries are SO persistently
insisting that competitive ornaments
are endangering new wars, that there
is found evidence that the people
of many lands want armies and
navies reduced to minimum.
The very covenant of the League
of Nations declares that ornaments
shall be brought down to aoint COM
patable with the needs OF national
security.
The outstanding chapter in postwar
disarmament history was furnished
by the Washington conference on lin
itation of naval ornaments, con-
voked by President Harding, which
began on Nov. IL, 1921, and ended in
the signature of treaty on Feb. s.,
1922. While many Americans have
insisted that this conference resulted
in the REIMBURSEMENT by the United
States of supremacy on the seas it
is generally regarded in league circles
that the washington treaty gave a
big forward push forward to the idea
of disarmament, and there was gen
eral regret here that the three-power
conference later conyoked by Presi-
dent Coolidge to extend the principles
