VICE OF LEAGUE Treaty Comes in for Its Usual Scoring —Democratic Extravagances Held | Up for Rebuke—Praise G. O. P. Trenton, N. J., Sept. 18.—Charles E. Hughes told the New Jersey republi- can state convention in session here today that Maine, with unmistakable emphasis, points to the verdict of the country; that the people demand a change, and with fresh courage “‘we shall resume the path of well-ordered government, of prosperity and pro- gress.” An Accounting Demanded election,” sald Hughes,” is the great assize, only time when administration is brought to an accounting. We are not a censorious people, but levity in passing judgment upon officers government and political parties becomes a democracy. The best surety of the future is not in the promise of platforms but in the cer- tainty of rebuke for maladministration and in the checking of harmful ten- dencies by the displacement of those responsible for them and the refusal to invest with power those who would continue or condone them. We en- deavor to appreciate accurately the mischief, not simply to be critical but to point the remedy and the future course.” Reviewing the history of the war, Mr. Hughes said “never in our history had an opposition party so completely subordinated all partisan differences to the support of the administration™ and further on he declared: Republicans Aided War. “In truth, it was the republican leaders, insistent in their demand for speed and efficiency in military effort, who in largest measure furnished the driving power behind an administra- tion which too long had fatuously cherished a false security and who too long had been benumbed by in- activity and difficulty to vindication of American rights.” Unpreparedness resulted in griev- ous ‘extravagance in outlay in the hurried effort. to make amends, Mr. Hughes charged, and while the peo- ple pald willingly they paid far more than they should have paid. Economical Party Wanted. Discussing this issue and the rem- edy, Mr. Hughes said: ““The clearest call of the day is to put out the party which is responsi- ble for this extravagance and install the party pledged to economy. “When congress conferred extraor- dinary authority upon the president in order to secure the unity of action essential to the war enterprise it was of course assumed that there would always be a sound and adequate rea- son in relation to the actual conduct of war when this authority was used. The war powers were for the conduct of the war, not for peace.” Mr. Hughes discussed several of the articles of the covenant to which ob- jections have been made and of Article X he said: “This article has been described as ‘the heart of the covenant’. If it is, the covenant has a bad heart. Article X is really the vice of the covenant.” CONSIDERING FARE BOOST “A general Mr. the FIRE AT DAY NURSERY $10,000 Blaze at New London This Early 'kx‘up&nls New London, Sept. 18.—F'ire in the Day Nurgery on Main street soon after 6 O'clock this morning caused damage of about $10,000.

New York, Sept. 18.—Edwin P.

Fischer Prominent Man. “For Fischer to assliimer an attitude antagonistic to the possessors of wealth,” aid Mr. Allen, “is as sur- prising at this time as the matter of the warnings. From his earliest days, as one of the greatest tennis players of the country, he associated with men accustomed to the refine- ments of wealth. He first gained tennis prominence in 1896 when he ranked number five on the national list of the players of the country. It is significant that, the number one of that year was R D.
