F0SS PUSHES
FIGHT ON LODGE

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. IA gun
ming trip has been started in this
state, the like OF which was never
seen here before.
Gov. ELECT Eugene n. Foss ana
eight or ten Republicans are after
United States Senator Henry cabot
Lodges scalp. flying abou THE state
in a big touring car. rushing from
town TO town. with all the excitement
OF an election campaign.
A Democrat goyernor-elect ana
crowd OF insurgent Republicans work
ing together to dislodge Lodge, means
that even with the weather season
ably cold down on the cape, so much
popular excitement has been worked
up that mitts and ear-fappers and
felt moccasins have been forgotten.
Floss made his campaign on the
tariff and the standpatters, his CHER
plank being demand for the retire
ment of Senator Lodge. He was
elected by an overwhelming majority.
But Senator Lodge ignores the public
sentiment expressed at the polls and
prefers his own brand, which calls
unanimously for his reelection. Foss
and his insurgent campaigners, mean
while, say it's a lot more presumptu-
Gus and cheeky for United States
senator to defy public sentiment than
IL is for a governor-elect 10 support
from the public platform the de-
mands OF the people who elected him.
So the cunning trip continues and
the excitement wakes warmer and
warmer.
Big crowds OF villagers are al.
tending the scalp hunting expedition
at West Barnstable. Sandwich, Sag
amore, Falmouth, Buzzards Bay. on
set. Wareham and other down-the
cape places, and town criers have
even anticipated these meetings by
walking through the towns and vii

tops OF their voices:

The speeches being made by the
scalp hunters are, perhaps, radical.
They declare for free trade with
Mexico and Canada; direct election
of United States senators, and in
come tax.
He has said and is saying that the
successor OF Lodge must be pro-
gressive, whether Republican or
Democrat; and then he draws a pic.
