Senator Lodge Delivers Speech at
City of Lynn, Massachu-
sets.
TAX AND TARIFF
LEGISLAT1ON BAD

Lynn, Mass, March 16.-The ad.
ministration at Washington was. criti
cized severely tonight by Senator
Henry G. Lodge in an address dur
ing which he announced himself a
candidate for reelection. He spoke
before the Lynn Republican club.
Injurious to United States.
'In my OPINION he said, with
the exception of the administration of
Buchanan, there has been no admin.
istration in power which has been
so injurious to the United States
both at home and abroad as that
now in control at Washington"
Condemned Tax Legislation.
After condemning the tariff and tax
legislation enacted by a democratic
congress, Senator Lodge turned to
the foreign policies of the admins
tration. He said the plans for ma.
tional defense suggested by President
Wilson proved on analysis to bs
partly sham and wholly inadequate. -
U. S. Responsible For Mexico.
'The responsibility for the condi-
tion in Mexico rests largely on the
government of the United States.
The present administration found
Mexico and Mexican relations in bad
conditions. They have made these
bad conditions infinitely worse

new organization to the existing es-
Establishments, to give it a total peace
strength of 100000 fighting troops.
