SENATOR LODGE
Declares That He Will Support Re-
publican Party in Campaign.

Nahant, Mass, June 2S-Declaring that
he will earnestly support the Republican
party in the coming campaign and stat
ing that he believes Democratic vic
tory would be a disaster to business
prosperity, United States Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge issued a statement, tonight.
on the political situation resulting from
the national Republican convention In
Chicago.
THE Republican convention" he said.
"has renominated President Taft. fol-
lowing its unbroken custom of support
ing for a second term the President who
has faithfully served the country and
party during his first four years The
contest for the nomination has been
marked by unexsmpled excitement and
extreme bitterness. which resulted in a
party division when the nomination was
made. l shall not review that contest
] do not intend to criticize or assail any
of my fellow Republicans who were en-
gagged in it on different sides, for | can
not see any good end would be served by
my doing so.
ITO the best of my ability / have
fought the battles of the Republican
party for the past 30 years. To the Re-
publican party / owe all that / have had
in public life. With its policies and prin-
eiples as Just declared at Chicago | am
III full accord. | not only believe in the
policies there set forth, but ] regard
the declared determination of the party
To stand firmly for the Constitution and
for the independence of the courts be-
cause they are vital to the maintenance
of free government ac af fba l,et IN,
portance.
Il have always believed the Republic
can party, by its traditions. its principles
and the quality and character of its
membership. to be the best political in
strument to secure sane progress and to
promote the welfare of the American
people that our history can show.
THE success of the Democratic party
in view of the reckless and destructive
incompetency exhibited by the present
House would be, in my opinion, a dlsas-
ter TO our industrial well-being and to
our business prosperity, and would at the
same time infiict lasting Injuries upon
the government Of the United States
Holding these convictions, shall
give to the Republican party and to its
candidates and its policies the best sup
port of which | am capable In the com
ing campaign. In doing so I shall try to
act with malice towards none and charity
to all, in the earnest hope of maintaining
the Republican party and the great Re-
publican principles so that, whether in
victory OF defeat. that party and those
principles may still be of service to the
country in the future as in the past"

Colonel Worries
The Democrats.

Baltimore. June 23.-Comments by
the Democratic leaders here, today, in
dictated general. in some cases a
jubilant. satisfaction with the result
of the Republican deliberations in Chi
cago. While some of the more radi-
cal said that Theodore Roosevelt run
ming on a strong, Progressive platform
might draw votes from the Radical
democrats, they declared that the
Democratic party had nothing to fear
from this score if it nominated a pro-
gressive candidate. But they agreed
on the contention that any Iesses from
this cause would be more than offset
by damage that would be wrought to
the Republican cause by splitting the
Republican vote between two tickets
That a Progressive Democrat might
be asked te run on the ticket with Col.
Roosevelt was admitted here, but no
one here, either personally or through
friends and supporters, would coun-
tenanee the suggestion that he would
lconsider overtures from the Roosevelt
camp. It was expected that emissaries
from The Roosevelt organization would
come here to watch the proceedings of
the Democratic convention and be
ready to seize any advantage they
fancied might arise. Thus far, how
ever. there is no evidence of any such
missionary work here.
Senator Elect Vardaman of Mssis-
sippi was one of those who declared
that the nomination of President Taft
would have no effect upon the action
of the Democratic convention.
IF the Democrats in this conven-
tion," he said, think it wise to nomi-
nate a conservative they will do so re-
gardless of the action at Chicago.
There is no possibility that the ac-
ton of the Progressives at Chicago
win gain them any recruits among the
Democrats" said Josephus Daniels.
state committeeman from North Caro-
lima and a Bryan leader
Senator Gore of oklahoma, one of
the Wilson supporters. expressed con-
fidence that the Democratic situation
would be harmonious.
State Senator j. Franklin Roosevelt,
one of the anti -Tammany leaders from
New York state. took a more serious
view of the nomination of Col. Roose-
Welt. If Roosevelt can get money to
finance his campaign" he said, lit will
be a serious matter Unless Demo-
Gratis nominate strong Progressive
Roosevelt viii cut into the Democratic
Progressive vote
Harmon leaders declare there was
no foundation for the claim of the
Wilson people that the Republican
situation furnished additional argu-
ment for the nomination of "a strong
Progressive. Gov. Harmon is a Pro-
gressive," said one of them; "a Pro-
gressive in the truest sense of the
word. The people have only to re-
view his acts as governor of Ohio to
realize the truth of this statement"
| The position of the Harmon cam
paign Organization was expressed by
Lieut.. Gov. Hugh l.. Nichol of Ohio
| in the following statement:
| THE nomination of President
Taft by the Republican convention at
| Chicago, yesterday, has clarified the
situation in Baltimore. Gov. Harmon
am confident, will be nominated not
later than the fourth ballot. Ohio is
one of the great states that the Demo
cratic standard bearer must carry next

"THE MORAL cRosswAYsv

Williamstown, Mass, June 23.-"The

the Baccalaureate sermon of Rev.
Harry p. Dewey, d. D., of Minnea po-
lis, Mimi, before the graduating class
of Williams College in Thompson Me-
mortal chapel, today. Taking for ifis
text blessed is the man that en-
dureth temptation, for when he has
been approved he shall receive the
crown of life" Mr.. Dewey said:
The first requisite for delivering
ourselves from temptation is, that we
do not allow the mind to dwell upon
the forbidden thing. We must resist
the minor temptations and we must
flee from temmptation, we must fire.
quently enter the battle and therefore
we require, not only such negative
means of resistance, but also certain
positiveness. There must be the ac-
tual doing of good. If we seize Il
minutes each day for communion with
some good writer of literature, whe
can inspire us with his thoughts, We
shall receive q very usefup tonic in

THE VICE PRESIDENCY
Is Not Very Attractive Just Now to
Any of the Democrats.

Baltimore, June 23.-Vice Presiden-
tial candidates and their supporters
are here plenty, although thus far
they have kept in the background.
There is evidence. however. that at
least half a dozen booms are ready for
inspection and approval as soon as
the delegates nominate candidate for
President and begin to look around for
a running mate that will add the most
strength to the ticket.
The leaders hitherto have been too
much occupied with other matters for
any serious discussion of National
Committeeman Josephus Daniels pro-
position that the candidate receiving
the next highest number of ballots in
the vote for President accept the Vice
Presidential nomination. There was
renewed attack today. among the Will
son men of trying to persuade Rep.
Underwood of Alabama, a Presidential
candidate, to take second place on a
ticket with the New Jersey governor
The friends Of Mayor Preston OF
Baltimore have spared no efforts to
advance his candidacy.
