SENATOR LODGE SEES REACTION

DIR. A. Garner of Ohio, who visited
his brother, James. here couple OF
weeks ago has forwarded The Ca
zette the following on the eastern
political situation:
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, ever
quiet man, said much in Columbus
that was not reported as a part of
mis- speech. While Senator Lodge is
not an intensely practical vote-gett-
ing politician like his colleague, Sem
ator Murray Crane, it has been OBJ
served in Washington for many years
that the Hon. Henry Cabot has not
overlooked any political turns in his
state or elsewhere.
Hence his observations to the Ohio
managers as to rapid reaction for
President Taft, which began with
the Maine election and is quickly
coming this way. were encouraging
to Chairman Daugherty. Also to
5he candidates on the state ticket
who had gathered for the campaign
opening.

one of Roosevelt's closepersonal and
political friends. AS a true patriot,
long honored by his party and loyal

could not let personal friendships
sway him from the straight path of
Republican principles.
Not only Senator Lodge, but Gov

to Russia, put alifelong friend

came. and the failure of Lodge and
Guild to join the progressive pro-
cession was the hardest knock Roose-

Senator Lodge confirmed the hopes
of the faithful here in Ohio with re-
ports of marked reaction in favor

Fighting Bob, in His Maya zine.
Tells why he Became Presi-
dental Candidate

Colonel Roosevelt course as Presi-
dent; his attitude upon his return
from Africa toward the Progressive
Republican movement; his action in
the New York convention, and his
ideas about opposing President Taft
with Progressive Republican, are
discussed by Senator Robert M. La
Toilette in his article, why | Be
came a Candidate for President, "
this week in his magazine.
None Eager For Contest
He says: The interest of the
Progressive cause was the CONTROL
ing thought in all those deliberations.
None of the men whose availability
as candidates was discussed mani
tested any eagerness to undertake
the contest, though all were agreed
that Progressive Republicans werein
duty bound to oppose the renomina-
ton of President Taft"
Discussing the relations between
Roosevelt and Taft. Senator La Fol-
lette quotes Taft's letter thanking
Roosevelt warmly for selecting me
as your successor.
Should Have Been Taken Out
The admission of the beneficiary
of the crime against democracy with
i the comment of the man who planned
i and executed it, should have taken
both Taft and Roosevelt out of the
1912 campaign, +" comments Senator
La Toilette. "The presidency is the
peoples office. That it, was passed
sas one might transfer the title to a
house and lot makes a mockery of
every principle upon which constitu-
tional government is founded"
No Definite Movement
+ After reviewing Roosevelt's ac-
complishments, La Toilette says:
1.-THE Roosevelt administration came
to close on March 4, 1909. without
leaving to its credit a definite Pro-
gressive national movement with a
clearly definite body of issues"
He adds: ION the oath of March,
1909, Roosevelt sailed to Africa. He
was absent from the country until
June, 1910. In that period. under
the administration of President Taft,
the Progressive Republican move
ment made greater Roadway than
during the entire Roosevelt admins
tration. This was largely due tothe
fact that Taft's course was the more
direct, Roosevelt's the more devious.
Says Roosevelt Smeared The Issue
Openly denouncing trusts and
combinations. he made concessions
and comprises which tremendously
strengthened these special interests.
Thus Roosevelt smeared the issue
but caught the imagination of the
younger men of the country by his
dash and mock heroics."

painting well polished steel bars with
one or more coats and suspending the
bars over boiling water for four days
Half of the coating was then removed

ondly a diet of simple food. avoiding
complex dishes and multiplicity of

often takes the place of the spit, and
while some fried dishes may be toll
Grated, 1t is not a method of cooking
that may be generally recommended.
If this simplicity were combined with
proper attention to the quantity of
diet, frequency of eating, and proper
mastication, each individual would be
kept In a condition best suited to en-
able him to perform the special func-
