the front Of the stage and he waited
until the three rousing cheers which
Postmaster Plaisted called for had sub

he was glad to be present, the speaker
stated that the country has existed un-
der the Constitution for 12s years, and
that the Democrats have had control of
it for just half of that time, that Maine
and Missouri came into the Union at
the same time, and said that this year
both states will be Democratic.

Under Auspicious Circumstan-

Boston, Aug. Ex-senator Lodge, who a
little earlier in the day Saturday had
filed personally with the secretary OF
state his senatorial nomination papers,
made an extraordinary speech and was
made the center of an extraordinary dem
onstration at the outing of the Dorchester
Republican Club at the Pemberton Inn
Saturday afternoon.
The demonstration ran close to five solid
minutes, and would have lasted fully a
half an hour If he had not raised his
hands and begged for quiet. that the
short time allowed for speaking might be
employed to that end.
His speech required less than a half
hour for delivery, but in that short
space of time he opened the Presiden-
tial campaign in Massachusetts in a
way which reused the courage of his
auditors and instilled confidence as
we'll.

Taft and Roosevelt in 1912.

Mr.. Clark made an attempt to show
that Mr.. Hughes is mentally on the wane.
that his speaking and writing have lost
their strength.
1T was universally conceded" he ad-
mitted, 'by both friend and foe that his
speech at Youngstown, Ohio, in 1908, was
far and away the greatest Republican
speech made that year.
But" the speaker claimed, "compar-
ing his speeches since he was nominated
for President with his strong Youngs-
town speech of 1908, one is forced inev-
itably to one of two conclusions: First.
that his pen and tongue have lost their
cunning measurably; or, second, that he
has nothing worth while to urge against
Democratic accomplishments or to pro-
pose as Republican policies, should Re-
pubicans by some miracle win the House,

as 'querulous carpings' at the splendid

the report of the special committee ap-
pointed to confer with the city COM
mittees of the several political parties

considerable larger and even more en-
thusiastic than at the meeting of the
previous Sunday.
The committee reported that it had
ten men, representing the city commit
tees of both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties; had explained to them
that the purpose of the Federation was
to do anything which it could to pro-
mote the social and religious welfare
of the community. and that all commit
teemen present had expressed them
selves as opposed to the use of liquor
or any unfair or unlawful practices
and willing to do anything in their
power, personally or officially, toward
cleaner elections.
The report of the committee was ac-
cepted and the committee continued
with authority to take any further
steps it deemed necessary.

citation Of the attitude of the commit
teemen, and Of their courtesy in meet
ing the members of the Federation
committee, and further expressing the
Willingness of the federation to do
whatever it could, as individuals or
collectively, to support the committee
men in their efforts.
It was also voted to send a state
ment to the county sheriff and to the

corrupt practices at the coming cleo
ton be observed. and further express
ing the willingness and desire of the
members of the federation to support
those officers in the performance Of
their duty, irrespective of party pol
itics.
From the conversation of the mem
bers present, after the meeting ad
Journed, it was evident that many of
them realized that river could not
rise higher than it's source, that cor
rupt elections must be expected, un-
less majority of the citizens active

ter and supported those public Off
GERS, committeeman and candidates,
irrespective of party. who were ready
to do the right thing but who un-
doubtedly wanted the community to
stand behind them and back them up
