Some Marked for Retirement.
o. the twenty-four Republicans. how
ever. there are several who are sure to
no left at home. and among this num-
her are several who are doomed 10 de-
feat. regardless OF their position on the
tariff question. OF this latter type rlay
be- mentioned DepeW of New York,
Dick of Ohio. Flint OF California and
1fcCumber of North Dakota. Depew
has been doomed for some time past.
Dick was marked for slaughter when
lie Taft forces overthrow Foraker in
Ohio tfor Dick has long been Foraker's
lieutenant and WAS his chief champion
FOO his last fight. Flint announced a
wear ago that he would not he a can

Lodge in Danger.
There are two other New EuEIaaG
senator's of long service ana crea- rep
u.ation, however. who may have trou-
BE m securing re-electiOn-SenatC
Lodge Of Massachusetts, and Senator
Hale Of Maine. I'm the tariff struggle
this session. Senator Lodge has public
y belittled the claims of the consumers,
and has boldly advocated tariff sched-
u.es that are excessively beneficial to
me manufacturers Of New England,
though unnecessarily burGensome to the
consuming public. evidently overlook
ing the fact that the consumers. even
10 Massachusetts,. far outnumber the
manufacturers. Reports from his state
indicate that Lodges tariff views are
aot az all popular. Added to this. he
mas become involved in a controversy
win Important leaders in the Catholic
NHlIth- and is being very generally
.Ily-clsed for his failure to mix with
ana represent the people generally.
senator Hale. one OF the old Repub-
Nedh Warehouses in the senate, is not
~ such imminent danger as Lodge: his
ue-ehse OF tariff schedules of most i'm
