Boston, Nov. 1.-THE fight to re-
turn Henry Cabot Lodge to the United
States Senate began in deadly earnest
today with Lodge smilingly confident
that be will win. The senator opened
new headquarters here today and sum
moned his lieutenants to begin the Sc

legislators.
Lodge was encouraged by the decla-
ration OF former Gov. Curtis Guild, jr.,
that he would not accept the senator
ship. Guild endorsed Lodge. Govern
or-eIect Foss announced he will not in
teriere in the senatorial situation, and
Senator Murray Crane broke his hab-
itual silence long enough to endorse his
colleague.

STRIKE VIRTUALLY ENDED.
Terms Of settlement Tentatively Accepts
ed In Greater New York this Morning.

New York, Nov. 11.-New York 8
strike OF express drivers and helpers is
practically at an end. Terms OF settle
ment were tentatively accepted early
today by the men who are out in
Greater New York. II the New Jersey
men accept the same peace proposition
at a meeting called for this afternoon,
all will return to work Monday morn
ing. The vote OF the New York men
TO end the strike was brought about
largely through the efforts OF Mayor
Gaynor and President Towne, OF the
Merchants Association. Through them
an offer was secured from the ex-
press companies, agreeing to take back
all old employees regardless OF whether
or not they have joined the union, and
to consult with committees OF the en-
ployes as to wages and hours. what
ever terms decided upon to become
effective December l. The express
companies reserved only the right to
refuse to reinstate an employees who
have engaged in violence during the
strike.
This proposition was submitted at a
secret mass meeting Of the strikers and
shortly after midnight was accepted by
a two-thirds vote. William II. Ash
ton, general organizer OF the Fedora
ton OF Labor and leader Of the strike,
declared that the offer amounted 10
virtually a recognition Of the union
which was the only point that the
strikers had refused to submit TO arbi-
tration. 1t was largely on his recon-
mendation that the terms were ac-
cepted.
1t Is believed that the New Jersey
strikers also will accept the PROPOSE
ton.
This action on the part OF the ex-
press strikers, however, in no way af-
fects the strike of the taxicab chaufi-
eurs. The employees OF two OF the
larger taxicab companies are still out,
and declare they will continue on strike
for recognition OF their union and for
the acceptance OF their new wage scale.

WANT TO DUST POWERS.

Reports which were freely circulated
in Louisville, KY, yesterday aud which
were neither affirmed nor denied by
democratic leaders are to the effect
that there is a movement under way to
have the nine democratic congressman
OF the Kentucky delegation make a
concerted effort to have Caleb Powers
ousted from his seat as representative
OF the Eleventh Kentucky district.
Congress, it is reported. will be asked
to deny Powers his seat on the ground
that he has thrice been convicted OF
felony, and has not been acquitted by
a jury. Governor Wilson's pardon, il
is contended does not have the same
effect az an acquittal on the charge OF
completely in the Gobel assassination.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, NOV IL

Mr.. J. r. MCLEAN, OF Washington,
has the bold effrontery to offer himself
as democratic candidate for U. S.
senator from Ohio. even though for
the past several years he has been pub
fishing a paper in the national capital
which nearly all that time has been de-
cidedly OF republican procliyities. Ohio
has not been represented in the Senate
bv a democrat for many years and it is
hoped that her next senator will be a
simon pure democrat, and clean and
able man. This is no time for expert
ments or to bestow honors on mGn who
have done more against than for the
democratic party.

DURING the past twenty years, at
least, the republican party has been
very jealous in defending any and all
attacks upon Wall street, because 1t
was from that source maiuly it secured
its means for conducting its expensive
national campaigns. But things have
changed, and since Wall street this
year cut loose from the G. o. ?. every
republican speaker on the stump has
been inyeighing against the "unholy
alliance" between the democratic party
and Wall street. This is enough to
