FIGHT ON LODGE.
BUTLER AMES TAKES CP ARMS
AGAINST THE ''NIACHINE.v
Mr. Ames Says Massachusetts Sena.
tor is Tool of Railroads, Banks
And Other Big Corporations.

Washington. June 26.-Represen-
tative Ames, of Massachusetts,, pub
licly announced his candidacy for the
United States senate today in a for
NAL statement embodying an excep-
tionally bitter attack upon Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge.
Mr.. Ames in his statment says he
becomes candidate after having
failed to induce any one else to take
up the fight against Boss Lodge and
his political machine"
These are some Of the things Mr..
Ames says about the senator and
what he ascribes as the Lodge ma
chine:"
This machine, backed by all the
large corporations and all the State
and Federal patronage at his COM
mand has for many years served a
ready and efficient tool to crush out
all political ambitions, endeavors and
opinions not sanctioned by Mr.. Lodge.
His orders have gone out to crush
not only for his own political end,
but to advance the selfish schemes of
the large railroads, banking and
| manufacturing interest he serves I'm
the hall Of congress as we'll as in the
| Massachusetts, legislature.
ut is said that in his present ex-
| tremity, fearing to seek reelection on
his long public record in congress
and in the State, his one hope is that
Mr.. Roosevelt may create new conf
dence in his behalf by speaking for
him as an old friend. 1t is hard to
believe that the former president
would lend himself to the political
support Of one, even though a friend,
who has consistently violated all the
moral teachings Of which he is the
great exponent.
with direct primaries, it is uni
versally admitted that Mr.. Lodge
would have no possible chance of re-
election. The Lodge machine and
lobby worked in the senate (Massa-
chusetts) again this year to snccess-
fully defeat the direct primary bill
which had passed the house.
"The defeat Of Mr.. Lodge and the
termination of this machine will lend
more than anything else to party sue
cess not only in the State, but in the
nation. 1t will restore confidence in
the Republican management by di-
vorcing the legislature and the lobby
ing political machine and defeating
public official Who has so long serv-
ed the private interests rather than
the public good"

GERS had 50 men to assist them.

LIGHT COLORED RELIGION.
COillmbia's Mulatto Congregation
Makes Big Real Estate Deal.

Columbia, June 25.--Illustrative of
both the low price to which Colum-
Dla realty sank in Reconstruction
days and the big prices to which it
has climbed under present favorable
conditions is the fact that local in
Vestors have vainly offered to the fa-
nous mulatto congregation-no black

at the northwest corner of Sumter

wesley NJ. f. church, and for which
the congregation paid in 1872 lust
exactly One-tenth that amount.

be able to agree shortly. Then the

proceeds and the valuable corner lot.

sold off the property, so the enhance

more than ten-fold in the past ss
years.
This church is said to correspond
pretty closely with one in Charles
ton, in that it is strictly for light"

sort Of unwritten law.

VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS.

Washington, D. c., June 24.-To-
days vote on the anti-option bill, by
which the Democrats won a decided
victory in the House and put through
a measure that they have been ad-
vocating since the early days of the
present session, was largely due to
the efforts of The South Carolina
members. They have worked con-
tinuously for months past to bring
about such a result as that achieved
today. Beginning with the hearing
before the committee on agriculture,
when President Barrett of the Farm
ers' Union, and other we'll known
Southerners appeared here, a con-
tinuous fight has been kept up, and
at no time have the Carolina mem
bers failed to believe that they would
be victorious. The fight before the
committee occupied many weeks and
engaged the attention, not only of
those advocating the passage Of q
bill to stop dealing in options, but
also dozens Of the biggest and most
prominent men in the cotton ex-
changes throughout the country.
Among the members of the dele
gaion from South Carolina who spoke
today were: Representatives Finley
Ellerbe and Lever. While every
member of the South Carolina dele
cation has been deeply interested ir
the outcome of this bill, no one who
heard the Representatives just nam
ed could fail to be impressed with
, the effect of the sledge hamme,
blows they delivered.
Mr.. Lever, as a member of the
| House committee Of agriculture not
| only protested vigorously on the floor
| today against the continuance Of pres
ent day practice Of the cotton ex.
| changes. but was largely instrumen.
| tai in securing the Overwhelming vote
| for the proposition. "The operation.
OF the Louisiana lottery and the
schemes of the greasy pig" and
shell game" artists are as nothins
to manipulations of the cotton ex.
changes of the country" he said.
Mr.. Ellerbe said "they are the mos
damnable institutions ever organiz-
ed, and l call upon the people of the
United States through their relegated
| authority in Congress, to come to the
rescue Of the farmers today, and fol
all time put these monstrous concerns
out Of business"
During the debate, and while the
vote was being taken, Senator E. d
Smith was an interested spectator
on the floor Of the House. 1t is now
up to the Senate to pass the bill.
