the instant upon which Adam

Lodge Names Weeks.
 Connecticut on the call of states, yielded to Massachusetts. and Senator Lodge took the platform to present John w. Weeks. He said:
 born and bred in New Hampshire, adopted by Massac achusetts, the can dldate whose name I am about to pre- sent, commands the confidence and the high respect of these two old states, whose names stand together on the Declaration of Independence and on the Constitution of the United States. Admitted to the Naval Academy in 1877, he received not only the thor ough education which is there always given, but he also learned those lessons of patriotism of honor, and of devotion to the country and to the flag which are never forgotten by the graduates of Annapolis and West Point. After leaving the navy he attained in civil life to a large and Well-earned success in the business world, whose trust he never failed to command. In that practical school he acquired a wide knowledge of all the great economic policies and of the problems of finance upon which the prosperity of the country so largely depends. In 1898, when war came to us he returned at once to the pro- fession of his youth and served his country in naval command during the conflict with Spain. He was chos- en to be mayor of Newton the city where he lives, in 1903, and after an administration of great success, he was elected member of congress. In the house he rose to the front rank of economic questions and a legislator of marked constructive ability After eight years service in the house, he was elected to the senate, where he has not only continued but has added to the distinction which he had won in the other branch of congress and where his standing and reputation are known to all men.

responsible of public offices could not be devised, and this training rests on the firm foundation Of dlstln- guished abilities, strong and upright character and a reputation without blemlsh or reproach.
 The first duty of the republican party in the coming campaign IS to drive from power the administration and the party which have so graVely injured us at home and so deeply dis credited us abroad. In this great task we invite the cooperation ot all cltl- zens who share our views in regard to the present administration and urge them to join with us in the work of bringing the country back to the sound economic policies under which the material prosperity of the repub- lie has been built up during the last half century, and in restoring the in f1uence and position beyond our own borders which the United States once held but which have been lost in the last three years. To do this we, must have a candidate who will com mand support beyond the strict linn it's of the party and receive it from all men who sympathize with our pur- poses We must have a man who is
 
 principles. Our candidate must be man who believes in the protection Of American rights by land and sea and who will maintain an honest and real neutrality; who loves peace, the peace of justice and right, and who at the same time thoroughly believes in preparation both in the army and navy which will absolutely defend and secure not only our peace but our rights and our honor. We must have a man who believes in American pol icics and the protection of American interests, who is American through and through. Most of all, we must have man who believes that this great nation is One-one in ideals, in hopes, in aspirations; a man who be- HeEeS that all Americans should be loyal to American traditions, who rep resents the conscience and the soul Of the American people; a man who will not only use the power of his great office to advance wise policies and protect American rights but who be- ieves that it is his duty above all things to keep the faith-the faith of the men who followed Washington at Trenton and of those who fell at Gettysburg.
 Such man, in every fibre of his being, is the candidate I am now to present to you, and I name to you as that candidate for the nomination for president of the United States the Honorable John Wingate Weeks, of Massachusetts.

Not All Are Fit.
Waterbury American )

The sudden death, in the waters of the lake, of Miss Margaret Hoe, one of the members of the Emergency Service Corps, who went into camp at Erskine, N. J., by themselves in order to give an example of WOman'S share in the preparedness campaign, was a sad shock to her family and friends and was disappointment to those in terested in the cause. It is said that she did not drown, but died of heart disease, due to excitement and the shock of the water when she went in to bathe. Young men as we'll as young have got to be looked over pretty carefully in advance to see that they are equal to the experience that they have to undergo. Young women and young men die in the water from sud- den shock when simply in for fun and not engaged in any military experi- ment. But in that case it affects noth- ing but themselves and their associa- tiOns. As representatives of a consid- able experiment for the promo otion of a high cause, and asking the at tention of many interested to see how it comes out, such an accident has consequences much more far reaching It hurts the cause and discourag ges
 many who might otherwise go into it and alenates the sympathy and sup port of many older people who dread the danger which such an accident tends to exaggerate.
