did the best we knew how and that Is
all anyone could do"
Mr.. Burgess declares that the fnan-

Always Lodges Supporter.
In Massachusetts, Roosevelt has
always and uniformly been the friend
and supporter OF Henry Cabot Lodge,
who is an absolutely dependable Tory.
ITO such men as Joseph G. Cannon,

ut would seem to depend on Mr.
Roosevelt himself. IL he shall take
sides with the insurgents OF his party

gressives; II he shall adopt the, for
him, new policy OF driving Tories In
stead OF progressives out of the party /;
If he shall cease to fight the La Fol

influence to hold up their hands; thea
Mr.. Roosevelt very likely will be the
choice of his party.
But IL Mr.. Roosevelt shall continue
his older policy OF opposing and dis
couraging the efforts Of rsformers
who dare try to do some reforming
