we're too raw. Thus, while the real
managers of this convention were, to
some degree, in position to nomi-

Delegates Shy Of LOwdcn.

the delegates SHE'D in sufficient num-

first applause came when Senator
Lodge had completed his rather over
literary beginning and got down to
pounding the democrats. 1t came
when he said that "Mr. Wilson and
his dynasty, his heirs and assigns, or
anybody that is his anybody who
with bent knees has served his pur-
poses, must be driven from control,
from all influence upon the govern
ment of the United States"
Everybody, of course, recognized
the allusion to Mr.. McAdoo, and
many, as good partisan republicans,
applauded it, but many other felt
that just that way of beginning the
indictment of a party had an un-
pleasant touch Of partisan meanness.
A stump speaker can talk that way,
but the senior senator from Massa-
chusetts delivering the keynote speech
ought to have something little more
elevated in his armor for such an
occasion.
Waspish Malice Felt.
| Nearly all Senator Lodges allu-
! sions to the administration had this
same trick of waspish malice. The
administration could have been in.
dicted in a serious and lofty way. In
Senator Lodges way of getting at 1t
the audience felt a certain malevo-
lence of personality which was re-
pellent.
On another occasion Senator Lodge
referred to Mr.. Wilson as "a demo
crat free-trader of socialist proclivi
ties" That kind of political contro'
versy makes an uncomfortable i'm
preston. AS you listened, you felt II
was lust like throwing bricks or cpl
thets. You felt that Senator Lodge
was Just calling the president hare
names.
Also, again and again. Senator
Lodges speech reflected the fact tina
his is of a past generation. He harket
back, 80, 40 and so years ago.
One critic included both the sub
stance and the length of the speech
in one sharp description when he sale
II ought to have been called Fifty
Years in Congress" by Henry Cabo
Lodge. You don't get much excite
ment out of a present-day audience
through growing frenZied over fret
trade. The senator's voice and man
ner became most exalted and most EN-
phatic when he spoke Of the repub
lican party's achievements after the
civil war. His most solemn moment
was when he said I'VE did not fai
after the civil war: We must not TAI
now"
/ All in all, one felt that Senator
Lodge had written the speech wher
his vitality was at low ebb. ne
isn't quite old enough to get the del
erence due to age; on the other mana
he hasn't the personality to glow WITH
feeling. Altogether, the speech was
disappointment to an audience which
had come perpared to cheer and shout
and exult. 1t was equally disappolnt'
ing to party management when
very much wanted 70 bring into the
convention exactly that spirit OF ex'
altation.

FOR FIRE ENGINES

to Make This Maximum
Speed

The action of the Senate in baking
at the Shantung award of the treaty
of Versailles was the sincere attempt OF
one branch Of the American Government
to keep faith with China after the Chi
nese claims had met repudiation at Paris
at the hands of the American peace
delegation.
Senator Harding so declared yesterday
to a delegation of members Of the
Loyal Order of the Golden Heart of the
World. The Republican nominee
severely arraigned President Wilson and
the administration for urging China to
to enter the world war, only to break
faith" with that nation at the peace
conference.
Senator Harding shared the front
porch yesterday with Alexander Moore,
Pittsburgh publisher, and his wife, for
merly Miss Lillian Russell. They both
spoke to the delegation and to the
women of Marion, who were out in
large numbers.

way at Harding headquarters for the
