THAT NEW YORK DEAL!
Helena, Mont.. Auk. I J. diaries
I". Hughes, cmitinuiiiK his attacks on
the administration for its appoint
iiHiits.loilav charged Secretary Mc
Adoo "upon reliable information"
with having replaced Henry N. Clapp,
formerly conliilciitial secretary to
John i. C arli.-le, with Daniel K. Finn,
son of "Battery Han" Finn, a Tam
many leader, as assistant appraiser
of merchandise at Xtw York.
"The circumstances. I am reliably
informed," Mr. Hughes said, "were
these: .Mr. Clapp was assistant ap
praiser of merchandise at the port of
New York, a position requiring expert-
knowledge in order to secure
efficiency. Hi resignation was de
manded by the secretary of the treas
ury and in his place was appointed
Daniel E. Finn, who is a Tammany
district leader and son of "Cattery
Dan" Finn, of much political noto
riety. In Service Quarter Century,
"Mr. Clapp had served twenty-five
years , in the Treasury department
service. He rose by merit from a
clerkship in the treasury at Washing
ton, which was obtained through
competitive examination, to the posi
tion of assistant appraiser of mer
chandise in New York. He had been
special agent of the treasury, confi
dential secretary to John G. Carlisle
while secretary of the treasury and
held other important positions in the
service through promotion by merit.
"He was the expert in the apprais
er's department at the port of New
York and had been the right hand
man of five different appraisers and
the acting appraiser in tHeir absence.
Some-mtHtths after he was put, out of
the service, and through fear of crit
icism, orr-tlie part of the department,
he was made an examiner in the cus
to service, a uch lower position than
that held before and at a much lower
compensation."
Administration is Sectional.
Mr. Hughes assailed the admini
stration as a "sectional administra
tion" and read a list of the house and
senate committees who had southern
men as chairmen.
"I have no criticism to make, he
said, "of the honor, the respectability
or the agreeable character of any of
these f.ien, but I say that an admini
stration under which so many of the
chairmen of the house of represen
tatives arc represented in that man
ner is a sectional administration. It
is not an American administration in
a broad and proper sense.
"I want to see the south be built
up. It can be built up. It never will
be built up, however, without repub
lican policies being applied. I think
many of the southern men are begin
ning to realize that. You can no
more build up this country hy his
toric doctrine than you could fly
through the air with the old flying
machines they experimented with
thirty years ago."
The situation in the senate, Mr.
Hughes said, was much similar to
that in the house, especially with re-
'ontimtrtl on I'ane Two, Column Two.)

AGAINST TREATY !
Lower House Favors Sale of;
Islands and New Election i
May Be Ordered. j
OPPOSITION IS POLITICAL!
Copenhagen, Auk. 1 . Via Lon
don.) The Danish Lands thing, or
senate, on motion of its president to
day, decided to resolve itself into
committee to consider the hill for rati
fication of the cession of the Danish
West Indies to the United States.
There are apparently the best
grounds for the prediction that the
Folkcsthing. which today resumed its
deliberations on lite bill, will approve
the sale. The Laudsthing, however,
seems to have a sale majority against
the proceedings. The result, accord
ing to the best opinion here, will be
that the Kigsdag will he dissolved and
a general election held under the
new constitution, which, whilci ts go
ing into effect was to have been post
poned until after the war, wiH in the
event of need he put into force im
mediately. The radicals and social
ists, who are in the majority in the
lower bouse, favor confirmation. In
the J.andstbing, however, the con
servative and left opposition appears
certain to prevail.
Much of the opposition to confirma
tion of the sale is not based on eco
nomic or broader grounds, but is
purely political. It is due mainly to
a feeling of resentment at the atti
tude of the government which the ob
jectors accuse of conducting nego
tiations with the United States in
secrecy, and of denying that such ne
gotiations were underway until the
very moment the announcement was
made that a bargain had been struck.
J. C. Christiansen,' former prime
minister, and now leader of the left
in the Folkesthing, has declared bis
belief that the existing Kigsdag is not
competent to decide the West Indies'
question. In the event of new elec
tions, however, he would support con
firmation. The former premier was a
member of the government of 1902,
which laid the proposal to sell the
islands before the Kigsdag. Then, as
now, the upper house opposed the
government proposal and featcd con
firmation. The new constitution confers the
suffrage upon women and domestic
servants and also reduces the age of
eligibility from 30 to 29 for the tirst
general election. The total number
of voters will therefore be more than
doubled. IJencc nobody is brave
enough to attempt to forecast the
probable complexion of the new Rigs
dag if one has to be chisen.
Woman's Party Lays
Plans for Campaign;
To Be s Spectacular
Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 12.
A plan to center activities in the
twelve suffrage states and address ap
peals to the 4,000,000 women voU-rs
of those states for support of the
cause of national equal suffrage was
adopted today at the closing confer
ence of the national woman's party.
Party workers, assigned to the va
rious states, were instructed to oppo. -the
re-election of all democratic nomi
nees, although in keeping with the
election policy adopted yesterday, act
ive support will not be officially given
the nominees of other parties.
Reports from party managers stated
that organization work was well ad
vanced. In Arizona and Wyoming
it had been completed down to coun
ties and precincts, it was announced,
and moat of Colorado was organized.
Instructions to complete this work in
oilier states by September 15 wore
given the parly organizers when the
speaking campaign will be;;in. The
closing part of the campaign, officers
announced, would he "spectacular.''
