in the territory of Utah, and within Harri-
sons first, and certainly within his second
term, Utah may safely be admitted to the
| Union. Arizona and New Mexico are both
| likely to be admitted to the Union very soon,

lican are likely to be Republican states"
| Referring to Canada be said: @The real
differences are in our general relation to
| Canada, and these can not be settled in a

BosToN, Nov. 12-Some significant words
have been spoken here by Republican lead
ers. Henry Cabot Lodge, for instance,
said in the Massachusetts, club:
ave are confronted by condition and
not by theory. To the Republican party
the people have given power that has not
been given to the Democratic party since
1s60-the control of every department of the
government We have before us great re-
sponsibility. We have won the government
policy Our first duty is that of giving the
people revised tariff and areduced surplus,
and we must do it. We must also give the
people of the south free ballot. We have
now ten representatives from the south, five
of whom served in the Confederate army,
and to them we must look for
assistance in bringing this about
We want new men from the south
and we must see to it that men elected by
fraud m-e not admitted to seats in congress
In this way we may secure a break in thu
solid south So far as our foreign policy
concerned, the Republican party has Away
maintained a dignifisd position. As to tn
: civil services it is impossible to give perfec
system, but the Republican party is plsdge'
to carry out the civil service law as it exist
on our statute books. The people have give
us control of this government, and the ma
whom we have elected as president will gov
ern this country in a manner that will NEE
