LODGE DEFENDS COURSE.
Charges Democrats With Working
Trick, Which Will Fail.

Boston, Aug. S.-Senator Lodge, wh'
was the principal speaker at the Dime
OF the North Dorchester Republican
Club at it's dinner at Nahant, Satur
day, repeated his charge that the move
nent lii this state for Canadian reel
procity is engineered by Democrats
who hope to defeat the Republican ma
tional ticket in the fall.
Mr.. Lodge denied that he was op'
posed to genuine reciprocity with Can
ada or any other nation, but he de-
clared that he would always oppose
reciprocal trade relations with foreign
nations injurious t. the industries OF
Massachusetts,.
Contrary to expectations, Mr. Lodge
did not make d personal reply to those
within and without his party, who
have, of late, been attacking him on his
attitude toward Canadian reciprocit!
and other public questions He did
say, how ever, that the movement con-

movement to create dissensions within
the Republican party and to obtain
votes for Judge Parker, the Democratic
Presidential nominee.
Mr.. Foss' name was not mentioned
nor did the junior senator refer ex-
plicitly to the latter's accusation that
he was an enemy of his cOuntry's COM
mercial prosperity.
But this was done by Atty Gen. Par
ker, who followed Senator Lodge. Mr.
Parker said that he was glad to see
Republicans discussing publicly the
policies of the party. but he regretted
that one Republican had so far forgot
ten himself as to accuse Senator Lodge
CT being an enemy Of mis- country.
Senator Lodge is not given to dis
cussing the secrets of the administra-
tons diplomatic dealings, but in stat
Ing his position of Canadian recipro-
city, he told some inside facts about
the negotiations relative to acquiring
French rights in the Panama canal
and the efforts of the French to secure
over 500. 600. 900 from the United States
government for their canal property.
When Senator Lodge was introduced
the diners stood UP and gave him three
rousing cheers. They We're not hearty

more ''aS if we meant it, and they
We're given with so much energy that
the senator felt obliged to smile. In
calling for the cheers the eX-alderman
got in the remark that I'VE are in favor
of reciprocity, but we are a bit fussy
who does it,
Mr.. Lodge discussed the records of
the Democrats and Republican parties
and reviewed the platforms of both
parties. He claimed that the Republic
can party was the gold standard party
and that they are entitled to the credit
of settling the veXed question. He then
spoke of foreign relations. 1t did not
alarm him, he said, when John Hay
sends a communication to Morocco, de-
handing "Perdicaris alive or Rasouli
dead" and he asked how the people of
the country would like to exchange
John Hay for David 3. Hill as secre-
tary of state.
Mr.. Lodge grew Factions and said
that he noticed that among those in
vited to call at Esopus was William 5.
Devery of New York. In quoting an
interview with Col. CASTOR, Mr.. Lodge
inadvertently referred to him as Gov.

Mr.. Lodge correcting himself, II should
have said Col. CASTOR, but his father

the thrust.
1t was noticeable that when Senator
Lodge was naming over the leading

attitude towards reciprocity that Gov.
Bates name was permitted to pass in
silence, while that of Senator Hoar.
Lieut.. Gov. Guild and ex-Gov. Crane
were cheered and applauded.
Mir. Lodge explained at length why
he had voted against the French rec
iprocity treaty, saying that it meant
the ruin of the hosiery industry of Low
ell, the jewelry industry of AttlebOro,
and the optical industry of Southbridge
if the proposed treaty had been accept
ed.
At the close of his speech the sena-
tor was again cheered.
Attorney General Parker got the din
ers into good humor by telling some
good stories and explained how to pro-
nounce the name of the town in New
York where Judge Parker. the Demo-
cratic Presidential candidate. resides.
Mr.. Parker said that he had it on good
Democratic authority that it was pro-
nounced with the accent on the second
syllable-pronounced as if spelled
soap"
The attorney general referred feeling
ly to the illness Of Senator Hoar and
said that lie hoped that before the
meeting adjourned some expression of
sympathy would be sent to the senior
senator. Every Republican gathering
in the state should remember him, he
said. On motion Of Aaron Wolfson. an
expression Of sympathy was adopted,
