CHAPTER X.
The conference and meetings In pre
paration for the great Senatorial fight
having been concluded, the scenes of
activities was transferred to Tircnton,
'here shortly after the Inugiira,tion
plans were laid for the. final battle.
Immediately upon the conclusion of
the inaugiwnl ceremonies, the. "hand to
hand" contests fur the great prize and,
incidentally the leadership of the Demo
crats, was on in full s.ving. At the be
ginning of the fight the bosses counted
upon the active support of the influ
ential Democratic leaders throughout
the State, like Johnston Cornish, of
Warren County, Harney Gannou and
Peter Daily of Middlesex County old
Dr. Harbor of Hunterdon County, Otto
Wittpenn of Hudson County, Hilly
KrVnch and Judge Westcott of Camden,
Dave Crater of Monmouth and minor
bosses or leaders in B 'TiTIi ami Middle
Jersey. But in utter tmanuirnt they
found that we had captured these tine
pieces of heavy political artillery and
that through them we had acquired and
taken over some of the most valuable
political salients in the State.
' Going After the Irish Vela
A little incident in the campaign is
worth reciting. In managing the cam
paign I iouud that for tome' unaccount
able reason ths so called Irish vote of
-tii. Stat ss maJta. aftlidly Uciiiul ex
Benator Smith and in hitter opposition
to Gorernor Wilson. We were constant
ly coming iu contact with these cur
rents of opposition, and how to over
come them and bring the Irish votes in
to our fold was the task that devolved
upon me as the manager of Marline's
campaign. Reared in my office one day
I recalled that years before? I had read
in The Congressional Record an account
of a speech delivered in the United
States Senntn by James Smith upholding
In terms of highest praise the famous
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty. The speech In
all its details, particularly the argument
It contained calling for closer relations
between the United States and Great
Britain, was still fresh in my memory.
Evidently Senator Smith and his Irish
friends had forgotten it, for he was
now trying to mobilize the Irish vote
of the State in his favor. On rereading
thia speech of the old Senator I smiled
with eatiifaction, realising the cam
paign use that could be made of it. Af
ter considering the matter carefully,
lent for a devoted friend of mine, a
fine, clean cut Irishman, who stood high
in the ranks of the tlan Na Gael and
other Irish societies in our country. Af
tcr he had read the speech we discussed
the method of using it, for we felt sure
that our Irish friends, when they be
came acquainted with this speech upon
reading It, would not find themselves
in agreement with Smith s attitude to
ward England and the treaty. My friend
consented to write lflpfito the leading
papers, particularly ttrMfrish papeTS of
the State, setting forth Smith i atti
tude toward the treaty. The effect up
on the Irish vote was immediate, and
soon resolutions began to be adopted
by the various Irish societies through
out the State denouncing Smith for
having advocated the much despised
''Anglo Saxon Alliance."
While I opposed Senator Smith in this
eontest, there was nothing personally
antagonistic in mv attitude. We were,
I hope, friends throughout the conflict
and many times since then we have
discussed the events leading up to Mar
tine's election to the United States
Senate. It was only a few months ago
while seated at a table at the Shore
ham Hotel in Washington, that the old
Senator, genial and debonair as ever
was discussing the fights of the oil
days, and particularly the events lend
ing up to his defeat foT the United
States Senatoi'ship. In discussing tbe
New Jersey campaign, he told me of
the use that had been made by "some
one" in the Wilson ranks of his Sen
te speech on the Hay-Pauncefote Trea
ty. He said that his reason for making
thia speech was hit sincere desire to
bring about more amicable relations be
tween the United States and England,
and as I listened to this frank recital
( felt that, although the nse I had
made of hit speech wat legitimate in
the circumstances, there wat nothing to
be proud of in having exploited the
Senator t really fine speech for politi
cal purposes. ,
Balloting at Trenton.
The State House at Trenton on the
night previous to the balloting for ths
Senatorihip wat a place of feverish
activity. The Essex Chieftain, Smith,
kept "open house" in the then .famous:
Room 100 of the Trenton House. The
Governor-elect, calm and apparently an
disturbed, but anxious and ready for t
contest, quietly moved about the eieeu-

CONCRETE PUNS
American Delegation To Pro
pose Far-Reaching Cut In
Navy At The Outset
Washington, Nov. 3. (By rW Asso
ciated Press.) The policica and pro
gram of the American delegation to the
armament conference are beginning to
assume definite outline, and if the ex
peetajjons of official Washington are
realtxed. the opening days of the confer
ence will je. a sequence of develop
ments something like this:
Poasihle Developmental
Presentation, at the outset, of a con
crete American plan for far reaching
reduction of naval armament.
Consideration, along with thia plan,
of tnch troublesome problems of 'he
Far East as may naturally project
themselves into the picture.
MiT.ntime, an effort by the Uii'cJ
States to keep the negotiations in the
(pen so that public opinion may ei.'ii
:s i ressure toward practical acoui
p lshnieut.
Sweeping Reductions.
Salient features of the American naval
umami-jUi) jtcuptual alrvaily Uai two
established, and although details remain
to be fixed, there is reason to believe
the reductions suggested will be tweep
ing enough to convince the whole world
ttta't the United States meant business
when it called , the growers into confer
ence. ,
It would cause no surprise if the lead
ing naval powers found it necessary ta
submit tho plan of this government
to long and careful study before they
determine on their 4ourso of action.
Strntrh ' thr'Tcrlrirtiflns-pTpptMri'a wmvr
unacceptable, it is believed likely that
the American delegates, having once
taken the initiative, would invite the
other powers to present in their turn
some concrete counter proposal.
Kedactioa Figarea.
All the evidence surrounding the con
ferences of the American "Uig Pour''
with their naval advisers have pointed
to inclusion of a set of maximum reikic
tion figures in the plan to be laid on
the table by this government. No ofti
cial has been willing to reveal anv de
tails of these figures, but there has, been
apparently a desire to lay bnre at t!ie
very outset of the negotiations, the full
extent to which the United S'ati-s would
be willing to go in sealing down the
world's naval armanrent.
Opposite Coarse.
The impression that such a method
may not lead to an immediate agree
ment has been given color by the ap
parent intention of some of th power
to pursue a directly opposite course and
enter the conference setting a high Jig
ure as the measure of the naval arma
ment thi-y consider requisite to their
national safety. Japan already has in
dicated that she would suggest the neces
sity of maintaining a navy equal to any
which might enter her sphere in the Far
East; a proportion which naval experts
say is well in eicess of her present
power.
Probable Procedure.
It it Conceivable among American offi
cials that some of the Far Eastern prob
lems may bo brought sharply into issue
as soon as replies are made to the ini
tial proposal of this government for
naval reductions. Naturally, the other
powers will desire to set forth their
reasons for the attitude they take on
thit proposal, and in the consideration
of these reasons the conference may
swing entirely away from the question
of armament for the moment and ad
dress itself directly to the causes for
armament.
The determination of the American
government that these exchanges shall
be kept as far as possible from the
realm of underground diplomacy was
reiterated today in highest administra
tion quarters. Officials say their plans
for giving publicity to the proceedings
of the conference are so complete as
to assure, to the press the fullest infor
mation consistent with public policy and
give public opinion ample opportunitv
to play an intelligent part in shaping
, the decisions of the delegates.
LIBERTY AND VICTORY
ISSUES MOVE UPWARD
. New York, Not. 3. All Liberty bond
and Victory loan issuea today reached
new high records for the year, presum
ably at the result of the Federal Re
serve Board's tction in reducing redis
count rates. Odd Iota of Victory 4s
rose to par during extensive trading in
that issue, while substantial gains were
recorded in the Liberty issues, notably
the 4 1-4 per cent series. The highest
previous record for Victory it was
1.2 to the lowest 94.70.

By EDWARD E. BRITTON.
(By Special Leased Wire.)
Washington, Nov. 3. After a deay of
months, his nomination hung up in the
White House by the influence of former
Senator Slarion Butler so runs the
rumor, to which Mr. Butler gave the
smile of approval when it was mcnjinn;4
to him, A. U MeCaakill, of Fayetteville
was nominated this afternoon by Presi
dent Harding for tho position of col
lector of customs at Wilmington, the
ofTtxial title of the job being collector
of the port of Wilmington.
Iu the way of delay and hopes long
drawn out Mr. MeCuskill has had a long
and dreary wait, but now his hopes are
near to rcatiatwa. That is if Senator
Hutler is not able to raise a rumpus in
the Senate and make'some more twists
in the knot, into which he has hitherto
tied the nomination. Hut in view of
past event," It looks ar if The Payette
ville man will get the job at Wilming
ton. (secretary Mellon is for him. Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Blair is
for him, and more potent of all. Re
publican National Committeeman More
head and tbe "hog combine" Republican
State machine is for him. This, or
course, means that ex State Chairman
I.inuey and present State Chairman
Charlie Reynolds are both on the shout
ing li.ie. Senator Simmons says that
so Mr as ne is eonrornoi he has no
present objections, nnd will have none
unless there is some protest from the
tita-U --juwi--ft is- awde-r-stnorf that -ert-ator
Overman takes the same position
More of Faithful Rewarded.
President Harding rewarded others
of the 'hog combine brand nlso today
in nominations he tent to the Senate,
John T. Henbow, of W inston Salem,
gets his in the shape of the nomina
tion for postmaster, thougti N. L.
t'ranford, I'emocratie postmaster has
Tha Wg bunch of endorsements for the
position and it understood to have stood
tint in the examinations, but as he is
of the ii-ir-nft'rev "faith" h- jrptsv-it "tir
the neck. James Hi llouser picks off
the cherry of the nomination for post
master at Cherryville, and Ixnira M.
(iavin gets the nomination for post
master at Kenmsville. Winston Salem
pays a salary of M.Sofl a year. Cherry-)
viile pays -fl-,900, Kenansvilla pays
tlJOO. No opposition it expected to
these three nominations.
There is increasing agitation among
the Republic-ins of both the Senate and
tbe Hmise with regard to bonus or ad
justed compensation for former service
men. The dear cut resolutions adopted
at the annual convention of the Amor
lean 1ogion at Kansas City, one of them
declaring that despite the opposition to
the measure, including the letter of
Secretary of the Treasury Mellou and
the address of President Harding, that
"we still firmly believe in the justice,
fairness and immediate necessity of
the adjusted compensation measure,"
has brought alarm within the rankt of
vote seeking Republicans. That the c.ilT
if the Legion is for the passage of the
measure "without further equivocation
or delay'' shows the Republicans the
temper of the former service men, that
they are tired of the dilly dallying pro
cess and want action in place of smooth
phrases and promises, evidently regard
ing these as of the pie crust order, easy
to break.
And the Penate is told that is a "me
too" to President Harding in the word
ing of the second resolution which de
plored the request of President Hurding
for dday in passing the bill and the
acquieseenee of Congress in his request.
And th.it there were shouts of "Mellon,
Mellon" when the opposition of war
profiteers and "big business" was
hurged as against the measure thows
that there is swatting ahead for those
who deny the men who wore for uni
form at the demand of their country
what it their just due.
Now Playing For Time.
The Republicans are playing for time
in getting their plans in shape to meet
the onslaught of the Democrats with
the Reed amendment to pay the bonus
from en-ess profits taxes, and the Sim
mons Walsh amendment ready to fnl
low the defeat of the Reed amendment.
But as they plan they are being met
with protests and a threatened insurrec
tion within their own ranks, for there
are Republicans who feel that the wrarn
of the men of the American I'cion is
gaining momentum and that with the
Democrats showing a willingness to pass
a lionus bill the Republican are getting
the worst of it iu the minds not alone
of former service men, but of an In
creasing number of other Americans
who feel that adjusted compensation u
only the .fust due of the former soldiers.
The condition that has arisen because
of pledges to the soldiers broken by the
Republicans and because the Democrats
continue to fight for the bonus measure
has gotten en the nerves of many Re
publicans in . Congress, some of whom
are now promising action at the regular
session, a plea that the American Leg
ion has kicked oer by demanding im
mediate aetion. If the bonus measure
gets through at this session it will only
be the Democratic fight and the fear of
the votes of the Ijegionaires and their
friends that will drive the Republicans
into its passage.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. S. Suspen
tion of Federal Judge Anderson't tem

and directing a cessation of union
efforts to organiie West Virginia coal
fields will be tsked tomorrow of the
Circuit Court of Appeals at Chieago
by. counsel for the United Mine Work
ers of America, it was learned here
tonight.
Counsel for the Indiana operators,
who also opposed the injunction suit
before Judge Anderson, will not join
in the appeal because of the walkouts
of 25,00U miners having forced a shut
down of practically nil Indiuua mines
and the attitude of the operators was
to let the union fight out the case.
Application For Appeal.
Formal application for the granting
of tn appeal also will be made at
Chicago by the union, but this as
said by counsel to be a perfunctory
proceeding that might either befougbt
before Judge Anderson or any judte
of the circuit court.
Failing to get a complete suspension
of the injunction, the union's counsel
was said to be prepared to press for a
ruling that only Indiana operators
were affected by the order. Such I
view has been taken by union officials
but it was contrsry to Judge An
dersoa's opinion, declaring all opera
tors observing trie "check oti were
bound by the injunction.
