Senator Calls Condition OF Demo
cratic Party Menace to Nation.
Boston, Oct. S.-The Republicans Of
Massachusetts ratified the State ticket at
a reception and dinner given by the Re
publican Club, in Symphony Hall to-
night.
Senator Lodge made a stirring speech.
He said in part:
''The nominations Of Hearst in New
York and Moran in Massachusetts, which
are Identical IN character and purpose,
prove beyond doubht the radical ele-
ment in the Democratic party which aims
at class legislation. and strives for class
hatred and the destruction of private
property is in control CT the party.
THE condition into which the Demo
cratic party has thus fallen is in itself
menace to the welfare of the country.
l am not one of those who rejoice in II,
for I think il is Just as important that
the party Of OppOSitiO nShOuld not drive
out all its conservative elements. aban-
don all its traditions, and give itself over
to radiCaliSm and violence and general in
| decency as that the party in power
should remain sound and wise and safe.

cure evils that arise by the methods OF

Telephone Company Makes Big Cut
in Its staff

\ recent reduction has been made in the
force OF the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company. resulting in the dis
charge of a large number of its employees.
The reasons for the reductions are not
made clear. the officials of the company
being somewhat reticent in discussing the
matter. w b. Tranord, the general man
ager, said last night there had been some
delay in the installing of switchboards
and the procuring of material necessary
for the construction of certain lines, which
necessltated the laying off certain en-
ployees. among them a number of can
vasSers.
Vice President p G. Burton said yes
terday that owing to the delay in Sc
curing material needed in the constTuc-
ton Of suburban and country lines, a
number of employees had been laid off
Neither Mr. Burton nor Mr.. Trafford
could give an estimate OF the number af-
fected by the change but il is understood
it amounts 10 about 500. The largest re-
duction has been made in the construc-
