setts citizens have declared their
willingness to wear the senatorial

have different ideas as to how
this ought to be done. The matter
will be submitted to the voters of
this state at the primaries on
September -, and they will de-
eide whether Senator Lodge SHALL
make a sixth appearance as tho
republican nominee in the Mo-
vember election and which ono
of four democrats shall represent
the opposition.

rectly against the great swing Oh
progressive principles" Professor
Sharp includes in his platform

pendence Of the Philippines and
opposition to the soldiers bonus.
