SPEECH OF SENATOR LODGE.
Will Favor the Carrying Out Of Roose-
veIt's Policies.

Chicago, June S.-The speech Of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-
chusetts as temporary chairman Of the
republican national convention, will
be, it is said, based largely upon the

that the country desires for president
a man who will follow on the lines
laid down by President Roosevelt.

REPLY or TAFT ORGANIZATION.
Chairman Hay Says Il Is Not Fathered by
Wall street.

Louis C. Hay. chairman Of the Taft or
ganiZation Of the State OF New York, reply
ing yesterday to Gen. Stewart L. Woodford.
chairman Of the Hughes National League,
said:
We wish II distinctly understood that the
managers Of Mr.. Taft q campaign In Wash
ington and Ohio have not had the slightest
thing 10 do directly or indirectly with the
Taft organization Of New York, its foundation
or It's development. The Taft organization
OF New York arose out Of the conviction In
the minds OF its founders that Mr. Taft Is
the best man In the country 10 be its next
President
The Taft movement here is natural and
spontaneous, The belief existing In the
minds OF the committee that there IL wide
spread and earnest preference for Mr. Taft
among the voters Of New York state is re-
ceving daily most convincing proof az a
result Of the commit ee's frs, tentative efforts
to ascertain the real choice Of the people
Any charge that the Taft organization
Of the State Of New York IL rathered by Wall
street is without foundation. Many bankers
and hnanciers and business men Of repute
and distinction have individually expressed
their personal preference for Mr. Taft as a
Presidential candidate. as other such men
have declared themselves for Mr. Hughes,
Mr. Knox. MIR. Fairbanks. Mr.. cannon and
others. The Taft organization Of New York
is citizens movements movement Of the
people to express their preference for Presi-
dental candidate. The TAFT organization
has no quarrel with anybody, It wants
the truth as TO the choice Of the people Of
New York State for the Republican nominee.
It can be safely stated that its members
generally, while believing Mr., Taft to be
the best man for the next Presidency. will
vote and work earnestly for the success
Of the chosen candidate Of the Republican
national convention in June, whomsoever
he may be. as they are now working inde-
pendently Of any political alliance, earnestly
and sincerely for the nomination Of William
II. Taft.

Democratic Party In Massachusetts.
BosroN, April 4.-The Independence
League has lost it's fight TO supplant the
Democratic party as one Of the two leading
parties in the State.
The full bench OF the Supreme Court
to-day dismissed the information brought
by the Attorney -Generai against Hugh q.
0sEer. a member Of the board Of reIs-
trars Of voters, and Frank X. Stearns Of
the board Of police Of Lowell with view
to have the respondents show by what
right they held office The mAmbers are
Democrats and were appointed by the
Mayor Of Lowell to the bipartisan board.
The Independence League asserted that
il was entitled 10 representation on each
board as one Of the two leading political
parties, since its candidate for Governor
last fall, Thomas l.. Hisgen, received more
votes than Henry NJ. Whitney, candidate
OF the Democratic party. Mr., Whitney
appeared on the ballot also as Democratic
Citizen" Independent Citizen and with
out any designation.
The court held that the votes cast for him
as an Independent Citizen and without any
designation represented probably the voters
outside his party. but in view Of the cir
cumstances arising from the celebrated
Springfield convention the votes cast for
him as Democratic" and Democratic
Citizen" candidate should be added to-
gether. in which event they exceed the vote
Of Hisgen. Hence the Democratic party
retains its position.
