AT times we seek that welfare

but IN purpose and in principle it
goes back to the foundation of the
republlc. Wherever an organization
exists which supports representative
government, responsible to the will of
,he people publicly expressed, limited
by the consent of the governed as
expressed in a Constitution, with ju-
dlclary, Legislature and Executive in
dependent, uncontrolled save by their
conscience and the law, there is a
patriotic union of citizens which is
entitled to be called Republican

Defender of Constitution
That party has been peculiarly the
custodian and defender of our Consti-
tuition. No problem arising from the
war calls more urgently for solution
than how to return to and maintain
constitutional government. There is
grave cause for our desire to return
to the Constitution of America, guaran-
teelng personal and civil liberty, under
which this nation became the glory of
civilization. But some one saws our
Constitution has been adopted, it has
been the law Of the land more than
one hundred and thirty years. That
task is done; why give it now such ur-

Lodge Charges
Wilson Is Like
Third Napoleon
Declares President Has Es-
tablished ''Reign of Ter
ror'' Over Many Repre-
sentatives and Senators
Seeks One Man Rule
Asserts League Covenant
Ought to Have Been Com
sidered Aside From Treaty

NAHANT, Mass, Sept 11.-Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge to-day attacked
what he said was the effort of Presi-
dent Wilson to make ours a one-mar
government. lsne Presidents concep
tion of government, he said, was that
of the third Napoleon He charged that
the President has established "such a
reign of terror over many Representa-
tives and Senators Of his own party
that the legislative powers of the Con-
stitution granted to Congress alone
were impaired and distorted"
Senator Lodge. who was addressing
an outing of the Lynn Republican Club
here, said President Wilson's autocra-
tic Administration affected every de-
partment of the government. The Navy
and War departments, he said, were
marked by "a favortism in appoint
vindictive spirit toward officers not
liked by the secretaries"
AS instances he gave the removal Of
General Barnett. who was commandant
of marines during the war; refusal of
President Wilson and Secretary Baker
to permit Theodore Roosevelt to raise
a division of volunteers, after Con-
gress gave the necessary authoritX; the
"treatment of General Wood" and the
fact that General Edwards, senior
brigadier general when war was de-
clarel, after leading the 26th Division
in action overseas, is still the senior
brieadier general. and recently has
been deprived of his command of the
Northeast Department.
Return to the Constitution
"Onc OF the leading demands Of the
Republican platform, and one of the
issues which Senator Harding has most
strongly emphasized, is that we should
bring the government back to the sys-
tom and the forms of the Cons gitution
which we have always followed thus
far throughout our history" said SEN
ator Lodge. "We all know in a general
way what this means, and believe the
people of the United States thoroughly
appreciate the dangers Of the system
which Mr. Wilson has endeavored to
substitute for the methods of the Con-
stituton.
MIR. Wilson, through his Admins
tration, has steadily sought to absorb
the powers of the Legislative branch
and to make our government one
man government. He has undertaken
to ignore the great principle laid down
in the constitution Of Massachusetts
that this is to be Il government of
laws and not of men. He has tried
to make il government by one man"
The Senator quoted from a passage
in one Of President Wilson's books as
illustrating his conception Of govern
ment, and continues:
Conception That of Autocrat
"By his acts ALSO is his conception
shown to be that of the Third Ma
poleon, an autocrat elected by a plcb-
iscite uncontrolled by any intervening
Legislative or judicial authority. 1t
seems to me that it may not be amiss
to illustrate this proposition.
"lt was impossible for Mr. Wilson
to secure 4 league of nations without
assent Of the Senate. but he cndeav-
ored 70 evade and practically nullify
the rightful power OF the Senate by
