Mr.. LODGE DEFENDS
PRESIDENTS POLICY
Speaks for Administration
on Panama Question.
G0RMAN'S ATTITUDE SCORED
Senator Shows Every Act Relative to
Isthmus Was Warranted by Law
and Precedent.
G0RMAN'S ATTITUDE SCORED

President ROoseveit's Panama policy
was ably defended in the Senate today
by Mr.. Lodge Of Massachusetts,. who
some time ago announced his intention
Of submitting his views on isthmian
matters in general
The Senator's speech was somewhat
in the nature of a reply to the STRIFE
lures of Senator German, who made an
impassioned address in the week pre-
eeding the Christmas recess, in which
speech the Maryland Senator termed
the President "a new Napoleon and
alleged he had usurped official powers
not conferred by the Constitution in
order TO carry through the Panama
business
Spurns the Allegation.
This Mr.. Lodge today controverted
in no uncertain way
Mr.. Lodge based his remarks on the
historical and legal precedents for such
action as the President has taken in
the Panama matter. He declared every
step was taken with complete adherence
TO precedent, in every instance so clears
ly so that he felt, as a Senator. it was
hardly necessary for him to go largely
into detail.
He hated to undertake he said. the
explanation of matters so plainly evi-
dent to all who had investigated the
subject at any great length; but because
Of the continued misstatement of facts
and misrepresentation Of conditions he
felt impelled TO put on record the true
relation Of recent acts Of the Admins
tration TO similar exercise Of the execu-
tive power by preceding Presidents.
An Able Defense.
Quoting from official documents and
introducing various phases Of interna-
tfonal law. Mr. Lodge made an able de-
fense Of the Presidents course through
out. He showed IL 20 have been die
tated wholly by patriotic motives. by n
strict adherence to international pro-
cedure. and. indeed. with ample consid-
Grafton for the rights of Colombia.

An Able Defense.
Mr.. LODGE WELCOMES
THE CLEVELAND BOOM

Toward the close OF his speech in the
Senate Mr.. Lodge alluded to the Nc
Ciellan banquet in New York city last
night and the speeches delivered by
prominent Democrats in attendance. He
hailed with delight the attitude of these
speakers. with the evident trend of
sentiment toward ex-President Cleve-
land as the leader Of the opposition in
the next campaign. He could think of
no happier solution of the question
from Republican standpoint, the Sena-
tor said. than that Cleveland should be
selected as the standard bearer Of the
Democracy.
