Two years are quite o long while to look ahead
In politics, but this does not deter the opponents
Of Nj. Lodge from making plans to contest his

There has been considerable quiet opposition
to Mr.. Lodge among Republicans for some time.
His opponents have heretofore contented them
selves with airing their grievances privately,
but since President Mckinley's election they
have come out openly against him. At the
present time many leading Republicans may DO
found in the a~nti-Lodge column. 1t will be re-
nembered that when Mr.. Mckinley invited eI-
Gov. Long to come to Canton last win
ter. and offered him tho naval portfolio,
Senator Lodge took the first train he
could from Washington to Mr.. McKin-
lsy's house and told him in forcible language
that he did not approve OF the selection Of Mr..

from appointing Mr.. Long. He and Gov. Long
had been in Congress together. had stopped ut
the same hotel in Warrington. and q warm
friendship existed between them.
As soon as it was known that MIR. Lodge had
opposed the appointment, Mr.. Longs friends
de'uged the President with kilograms. letters
AND appeals, urging his appointment on the
around that he represented Massachusetts, Re-
publicanism and her citizens regardless OF party
