LODGE PLEA FOR
UNIONOF &. 0. P.
Senator Wants Candidate Who
Will Unite "All Opposed to
Present Administration"
HARDING LAUDS BURTON
Temporary Chairman Says, However,
Ohioans Are Friendly to Other
Eminent Republicans" Z.

\ plea for a union of the ranks in
order to put a Republican in the White
House was made yesterday by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge in commenting on
the primaries Tuesday when the "regu-
lar ticket in three States won over
Roosevelt and insurgent tickets. Senator
Lodge said:
Il have regretted that there should
have been any contest in the Republican
primaries in Massachusetts. I am very
glad that the contest is over and I feel
confident that It has left no i'll feeling
behind It.
Now, let US all get together and work
for the one great object which we all
have at heart, no matter how we may
have voted in the primaries.
Pleads for Union.
Let US, one and all, address ourselves
to the securing of the nomination of a
candidate for the Presidency who is most
certain to unite all who are opposed
to the present administration and to lead
US to an assured and complete victory; a
candidate who will fully represent Re-
publican principles, the principles OF ma
tional defense, of the protection of Ameri-
can rights everywhere, of the restora-
! ton of the standing and influence of
the United States among the nations of
the earth, of the protective tariff, of
I
ness and industrial interests of the coun-
try, and of all those other domestic poll
cies of which the Republican party has
long been the exponent.
The purpose which should govern US
Is to drive from power the present ad-
ministration, which has been so inJuri-
Gus to our welfare at home and so de-
structive to our influence abroad"
Statement by Harding.
Senator Harding. of Ohio, who will be
the temporary chairman of the Republi-
can national convention at Chicago, took
occasion to put quietus on reports from
Columbus that the delegates chosen at
the primary Tuesday under instructions
to vote for former Senator Burton for
the Presidential nomination would turn
to Harding as second choice, II they
found 1t impossible to put over" Bur
ton.
After calling attention to the remark
ably large percentage OF the total vote
that was polled for Mr.. Burton, showing
that he received so per cent more votes
IN the primary than President Wilson
did. Senator Harding said:
THE Ohio delegates are for Mr.. Burton
first, last and all the time They believe
him the most available candidate in the
great field from which the convention will
choose.
"Of course, there is a friendly senti-
ment in the Ohio delegation for other
eminent Republicans. There are strong
admirers of former Senator Root. There
are those who think we'll Of Mr. Fair
banks and Senator Weeks Doubtless
there are delegates who believe Justice
Hughes would prove a strong nominee
but nobody from Ohio will admit a sit
uation calling for an expression. We are
for Burton first, second and always.
Really II anything more Is to be said
Of the mention OF my name, please say
that know 1t to be a mere bit of COM
plimentary expression here and there
