LODGE REPLIES.
To Speech of Judge Parker Made at
Madison Square Garden.

Newark, \. J.. Nov. 2.-Senator
Lodge of MasSa chusetts spoke here
last night in the Kruger auditorium
senator Lodge said the attacks made
Dy the Democrats on Chairman Cortel-
you of the Republican national COM
mlttee were base and slanderous.
In answer to that portion of Judge
Parker's speech at Madison Square
Garden referring to Mr.. Cortelyou,
Senator Lodge said:
The speech made by Judge Parker
at Madison Square Garden in the
midst of red fire and we'll drilled ap-
plause from the Tammany crowd you
will find consists chiefly of saying in
fair weather that the sky is blue the
grass is green, that it is good to be
good and bad to be mad, and that vir-
tue is better than vice In the midst
of these startling additions to human
knowledge is an attack on the chair
man of the national Republican COM
mittee. 1t is a repetition by a candi-
date for the presidency of Il slanderous
accusation made by a New York news
paper unsupported. though challenged
repeatedly, by a single item of truth.
Speaking from an abundant knowl-
edge of the facts and of the chairman
and the president, / have no hesitation
in saying that no baser or more SLAM
derous charge was ever made. even in
the exigencies of a desperate and los
ing campaign

STAMPEDE TRIED.
By Republicans at n Big Parker Meet
ing in Newark. y. j.

Newark, n. J., Nov. Eventually
ineffective but temporarily successful
was the attempt made last night to
rout monster Democratic meeting at
the Essex Troop armory, where Judge
Parker was the principal speaker. The
great building with capacity said to
be more than two-thirds that of Madi-
son Square Garden in New York was
filled. At the first mention of the
present administration and the name
of Roosevelt hundreds broke forth
with terrific cheering, and for several
minutes 1t appeared as though the
Democrats were in the minority. The
scene that followed was one of unim-
aginable confusion. Kisses and cheers
were mingled. Words of anger and
threats were heard. and the police
were pOwerless to control. Finally the
Democrats by sheer force of number
and their greater volume of sound
drowned out their adversaries.
The disturbance occurred before
Judge Parker reached the hall. Judge
Parker's invasion of New Jersey to
make in the present campaign the first
speech he has delivered outside of his
native state was met with a resound-
ing welcome. This started when the
candidate boarded a ferry of the Lack
awanna railroad at Christopher street,
New York. and was continued at the
HOboken station on a crowded train
to Newark and en- route to the home
of former Senator James Smith. jr.,
where the members of his party were
guests at dinner. At the Broad street
station in Newark several thousand
people gathered and despite extensive
police protection, passage up Broad
street was forced with difficulty. Led
by a squad of police and a military
band the party in two carriages was
driven to Mr.. Smith s home. A big
crowd was gathered there and lines
were established by the police to en-
able the party to reach the house. As
Judge Parker mounted the steps there
was tremendous cheering. He several
times lifted his hat and shook hands
with a woman who rushed to the
steps. After dinner a reception was

Senator Fairbanks Puts in Busy Day
in Indiana.

Laporte, Ind, Nov. 2.-Nearly twenty
speeches were made Tuesday by Sen
ator Fairbanks. With one exception,
that of Sturgis, Michigan, the senators
addresses were delivered to the citizens
of his own state. At all points he was
enthusiastically welcomed and his
speeches were repeatedly punctuated
with applause. During the day he
dwelt mainly upon the prevalence of
prosperity throughout the country.
claiming that this was due to Republ1-
can administration of the government
and its continuance was dependent on
Republican success in November. AT
several points he referred to portions OF
Judge Parker's speech in New York,
with special reference to the opening
of foreign markets to American manu-
featured products. During most of the
day the senator was accompanied by j.
Frank Hanley, the Republican candi-
date for governor of Indiana At Lima,
Ind, the students of Howe acadamy
were present to greet Vice Presidential
Candidate Fairbanks. To them he
said:
Some of our political opponents have
had much to say about militarisn and
the spirit of militariSm. There Is no
spirit of militarism which is menace
to our country. The soldiers of the re-
public have always been its friends and
not it's enemies. The young men study
ing military tactics here are learning
the lesson of patriotism and learning
to be good citizens. They are not lay
ing foundations which will be menace
to our national welfare, but to give
strength to our institutions. Here on
the one hand are the cadets and on
the other the school children bearing
all the flag of the republic. You young
men are learning how better to protect
it against its enemies the world about.
There are no enemies of the American
flag at home. The eighty millions of
American citizens, care not
to which party they belong
whether they be Republicans or
Democrats-are all friends now
of the American flag. The little army
of the United States is necessary. 1t
will continue to be the protector and
guardian of our national interests. The
strength of the republic, however, is
not in the army. splendid IS it is, nor
is it in the great battleships which
have brought us such renown; the
strength of the republic abides in the
patriotic hearts of our countrymen."
The largest crowds of the day were at
Goshen, Elkhart and South Bend. The
last speech of the evening was at Ham
mond and the senator's special train
was side tracked at Michigan City dur
ing the night.

to the Worlds Fair.

d. A. Freeman was visiting in Tope-
ka Tuesday with J. c. Goings on his
way home from ST Louis to Beloit,

visit is that Mr.. Freeman made the trip

middle of August, and drove first to
Arkansas. He travelled around Arkan-
sas for some time, viewing the country
and inspecting some of the mining pro-
positions down there. Then he struck
off across Missouri, and spent few
days at st. Louis, resting up and look
ing at the fair.
On his arrival at Topeka, the rubber
tires on his buggy were just about
worn out. but he expects to complete
his journey within a day or two. He
has driven one horse during the whole
trip.
