NEW YORK, Oct 31.-Sen. Henry
Cabot Lodge, in his vicious attack
on Pres't Wilson is running true to
tie sentiment he expressed after
Candidate Hughes speech of ac-
ceptance. on Aug. 1, the New York
Telegram, evening edition of the
Herald, which is Hughes staunch
supporter, reported this interview.
1T was suggested to Sen. Lodge that
the newspapers were charging that
the republican nominees speech
contained nothing constructive but
was devoted to criticism of the great
administration. He was asked why
the republican nominee offered
nothing constructive. With an eX-
hibition of peevishness the senator
said: Why ask that democratic
question? What business is il of
the opposition to construct? Our
business is TO throw them out of
power and that is what We are going
to do"
