wise that he was beyond the sound Of
the voice Of Senator Lodge in Massa-

may be thought OF the Senator's Ian

Of Congress he makes a set tariff speech,
which is read by millions in campaign
times. but which is listened 10 mainly
by The doorkeepers of the Senate, who
dare not desert their posts for any
cause. The tariff speech he delivered
just before the last session adjourned
has been sent out by the millions by

It is interesting to note, however that
the speech was distributed broadcast be
