 On the tariff Senator Lodge said the Democrats themselves did not know how, far they would go and their vic- tory would throw an uncertainty across the pathway of business which would hang like pail over all business en- terprises. Which of Mr. Bryan.s pol- icies in regard to corporations he would pursue if elected. no one knows and he might easily devise two or three more between now and the fourth of March,"
 The Senator spoke highly of Mir. Bryan's personal character and elo- quence. He concluded with an eulogy of the Republican Presidential can- didate.
