Daniels Tells Audience
Hughes Played "Baby Act"
When Speaking In Boston
MiDULETOWN, Conn., Nov. 2.
Josephus Daniels, former Sec
retsry of the Js'avy, declared In a
speech here tonight that Secretary
of State Charles C. Hughes In his
recent Ttoston speech In defense
of his foreign policy played the
"baby act," in hiding behind a
falsa plea, that all the difficulties
of the present Administration had
been inherited.
"The logic ot Mr. Hughes in
Boston waa, 'We have been hamp
ered by the tangle we inherited,'
said Mr. Daniels, "therefore vote
for Senator Lodge who is respon
sible mora than any other man for
the tangle.
"What does Mr. HughesNclaim
to have done to unravel the in
herited tangle -in foreign affairs?
It is a long recital, leading with
the separate peace with Germany.
It is rather remarkable that he
praised Senator Lodge's leader
ship in securing this treaty when
Senator Lodge, only a few months
before had denounced the sugges
tion of making a separate peace
with Germany and had said if
made, it would 'brand us with an
everlasting dishonor.
"Secretary Hughes follows witn

The new company is to have an

by local business men for the pur

volume of Business of this nature
which la daily- transacted in this
particular sectipn. , It is proposed
by the incorporators to begin busi
ness within tha next 30 days and
initially confine its activities to
Western North Carolina.
The home offices will be located
in Asheville, which is the center to
all the counties in which it will
operate. The management of tha
company will be in tha hands of 10
directors as per the requirements
of the Insurance Commissioner of
this State.
Corporation to Fill
lMug Felt Need. '
Asheville has long felt the need
of such an organization, say the
incorporators, By reason of the
fact that a large volume of busi
ness of this nature is transacted in
this section and thus the pre
miums which have heretofore fceen
seat to the home office of large
surety companies located outside
of the' State, will, be kept at
home. .
In addition to bonds to be exe
cuted in the civil courts such as
cost bonds, claim and delivery
bonds, replevy bonds,, guardians',
administrator's and attachment
bonds, the company will also exe
cute bonds for the appearance of
efendants in tha criminal courts,
Magistrate, Police, Superior Courts
of the State and the District Fed
eral Court.
The company proposes to trans
act a general bonding business, all
of which will be for the conven
ience of those interested in mat
ters of this kind. It is claimed
that such a local Institution will
be of much convenience to the
members of tha Asheville bar, by
reason of tha fact that this com
pany, with its home offices here,
will be in a position to execute
bonds of every nature without in
curring the delay generally occa
sioned.
Attorneys in the various towns
of Western North Carolina, will be
designated as the local agents for
tha corporation and much Interest
has been evidenced by attorneys
since it is felt that tha usual delay
in the execution of bonds may be
eliminated.. v
The organization of tha company
is going forward rapidly and the
officers and directors will be elected
at a meeting of the stockholders
to be held in tha near future.
