.Saus Massachusetts Governor.

Boston, Aug. S-Postmaster General George
Won l.. Meyer, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge ana
Governor Curtis Guild. Jr., were the prihcipai
speakers to-day at the outing of the Dorches-
ter Young Mems Republican Club at Nantas-
lIet Point.
The KEYNOTE of the state campaign was
sounded when Governor Guild said that state
tional issues and that the great question be-
fore the people was the desirability or undesir-
ability of giving steamships trolley lines, steam
lines and express companies over TO one giant
monopoly and the lack OF railroad track build
ing in the state.
Senator Lodge expressed the belief that the
tariff would be revised by the Republicans after
March & 1903 and that neither party would
think of trying to revise the tariff on the eve or
a Presidential election. The surplus in the
Treasury did not profoundly alarm him, he SAID
and ne did not believe a reduction of the tariH
would have the desired effect of reducing the
surplus for such reduction would naturally
bring in more imports and this would again
bring about surplus. The Senator said that
he had for the last three or four years believed
In a reduction of the tariff.
Mr. Meyer expressed the hope that par
GELS post would soon be established with a
limit of five pounds a trial, and urged that
the efficiency Of the service be increased by IN
crea sed deliveries in the larger cities. He advo-
Gated a trial system of post checks payable TO

his own sincerity If he loses interest in right
eous policy because some one else advocates II.
But in commencing the President when he
is democratic Mr. Bryan does not overlook the
bad things said and done. His military spirit
his desire for a large navy. his leanings toward
Capitalization, his silence tariff reform. his
refusal TO urge the direct election OF Senators.
