Foraker Back on the Job

Dayton, O.. November s-For1ner Sen- ator Joseph B. Foraker returned to his attack on ''new nationalism'' with his re- appearance in the Ohio campaign at the Soldiers Home today, though he avoid ed direct mention of the author of that phrase.
 "The tendency in some quarters to condemn the judiciary and rob 1t of its functions is perncious, and should re- ceive a quick and decisive rebuke from the voters whenever opportunity arises,' said he.
 He further declared that while the dem ocratic party lacks the power to work damage, sometimes we find a republican who has new ideas and wants to press those ideas until dissatisfaction Is cre- ated in the republican party"
 With words of praise for the framers of the constitution, MT. Foraker came to the matter of this king business"
 Those men" he said, "did not like the thought of placing power in the hands of one man. They did not want a king. They had come from lands over the sea to escape kings and they set tied the question forever by deciding to confer the powers of government on three departments, the legislative. the executive and the judicial.
 The framers of the constitution made every effort to avoid the centralization of power and the voters should be warned against following any doctrine of oen- tralization. no matter by wohm ex- pounded"

TOSS RID|CULES
 LODGES ARGUMENT
Position on Wool Schedule Is
 Shown to Be Weak
PRoPHEsY OF THE VOTE
Will Go Into Boston With 10000 Majority and Carry the City
 By About 25,O00

Lowell. Mass, November s.-"Schedule K" The wool and wool goods tariff was discussed here tonight by Congressman Eugene N Foss, democratic candidate for governor.
 Senator Lodge says he voted for schedule "K'' for fear the senators from the wool-growing states would join the democrats. But President Taft tells the whole story when he says the interests of the worsted manufacturers of the east are those of the wool-growers of the west. and the worsted manufacturers of other states was sufficiently strong to defeat any attempt to change the woolen tariff" said MT Foss.
 Senator Lodge has said Massachusetts, woolen and worsted mills turn out s102, SS3, ,s0S worth of goods a year, and pay wages amounting to s1S,s17.197. A few night ago the president of the American Wool company publicly stated that the s4S, ,000.000 worth of woolen and worstea goods made by his company could be bought abroad for half that amount. On that basis the S102, 100000 worth of goods could be bought abroad for S51, ,00OO0O. Tn other words, the American people are paying tax of s5l.0OO,O0o in order, by Senator Lodges admission, to protec. workingmen who receive sl800o,oOO year in wages"
 Mayor John E. Fitzgerald of Boston, the other speaker. made a prophecy of the vote to be cast. He said: There is no question in my mind but that MT. Foss will come into Boston 10000 ahead, and Boston will roll up a majority Of from 2o,o00 to 250o0 for him.
 We will carry at least six of the fourteen congressional districts and from present indications we will undoubtedly have enough democratic members of the House to join with progressive repub- licans to bring about the defeat of Henry Cabot Lodge for reelection"
