LODGE OPPOSED TO LONG
Doesn't Want the Secretary Nominated
MtKlnIey's Running Mate.
AFRAID IT WOULD UPSET HIS PLANS
senator Is the Boss of the Massachu-
setts Machine and May Prevent
Any Endorsement being Made.
Especial 10 The post.)

Washington, April 23.--secretary Long
is not SO available as vice presidential
| candidate as the republican leaders
thought last week. The boss OF the Mnssa-
chusetts State machine, Senator Lodge, is
opposed TO Long receiving any further
honor at the hands OF the republican party
and he has started his fight on him. Lodge
fears for the success Of his secret ernbi-
tions IL Long attains to the eminence
which his friends are starting him for.
and the senator is stralning every nerve
to prevent the secretary OF the navy from
becoming the vice presidential NOMINEES
II Long is elected vice president, then
Lodge will be only the second biggest
public man IRON the Bay State, and Lodge
Is now too near the goal Of his ambition
TO meekly endure an eclipse OF that sort
Lodge, 1t is expected. will preside over
the convention In which Longs future fate
hangs in the balance. Long, II nominated
and elected, Will preside over that branch
of congress In which Lodge Is working to
magnify HIS own Importance. II Lodge
tries unsu,'cessfully to "turn down Long
then Long will have a chance for four
years TO turn down" Lodge.
well known politician said today:
Lodge, you Will notice, never has used
his influence to secure any Federal posi-
ton for any man who had attained much
previous prominence In the party. That
is. his system is to I'LL the Offices with
men who Will not threaten to rise up
some day and beat him at his own game.
Long was for Bates for senator and SOW
ernor las, fall Lodge was for Guild,
but couldn't say so. because Bates had
sheen prominent in supporting Lodge for
a reelection. SO Lodge took the steamer
for Europe to stay until the Campaign was
over"

London, April 2i.-The government has

Joseph Chamberlain and the Australian
premier on the federation bill. These show
that with a view of meeting Australia's
objection to the jurisdiction OF the privy
eounci-which Mr.. Chamberlain admits is
practically the only matter delaying fed
eratton--the government proposes to
amalgamate the privy council with the
house of lords so far as judicial work is
concerned. In this way the government
would create one court of appeals for the
whole empire, and at the same time. in
order to strengthen the colonial element
in this supreme court, several colonial
lawyers would be appointed to life peer
