LODGE OUTGENERALS HIS
ANNIVERSARIES IN BAY STATE


Newherry OF Massachusetts," merely
because he substitutes movies. brass
bands, vaudeville and parties for turgi6
oratory
The urinary campaign which his
agents has staged is reminiscent of
Hearst ventures In New York and with
pretty much the same results The
shows get the crowds and prospec-
lively the votes for the Colonel. In
the few speeches he has made the
Colonel has stressed national issues,
particularly the Fordney-McCumbe
tariff bill. In attacking Mr.. Lodge for
voting for that discredlted legislative
measure Col. CASTOR said In a recent
speech:
MY opinion of the Fordney -McC Cum
Der tariff bill Is that 1t is the most
vicious measure ever enacted by Con-
gress. The tariff frarncrs and Mr..
Lodge. whose rhetoric far exceeds his
logic, appear to have forgotten that
women are not the determining factor
in political contests. Practically every
imposition in the tariff billiard 1t is
filled with them-is of vital interest 10
women.
"They are beginning to awaken to
the disastrous results to their pocket
books by the passage Of a highly pro-
tective tariff to which Mr.. Lodge is
committed. The wool and other sched-
ules will convince the women Of Mas
sachusetts that the only protection OF
the family pocketbook from gouging
lies In the election OF a Democratic
Senator"
League of Nations Issue.
Col. CASTOR is not an advocate Of the
League OF Nations, His three oppo-
nents are just the other way. Mr..
Whipple. who Is admitted to be the
ablest campaigner among the Demo-
Gratis, displays less enthusiasm for the
Wilson doctrine than Prof. Sharp and
Mr.. Walsh. The reason is that his
chief hacking comes from the faction
led by Mayor Curley, which in ordinary
circumstances should give him the adj
vantage.
A typical Boston party feud marks
the difference. Rejecting a mixture
of racial. religion, personal dislikes and
parochial pretudices. the divisions in
the Democratic party are abnormally
plentiful. Mr.. Whipple has attacked
Col. CASTOR as well as Mr.. Lodge,
mainly for their reactionary tenden-
cies. If Mayor Curley could deliver
the Democratic vote OF Boston Mr..
Whipple would VIA: but the belllig-
Grant Mayor cannot control one-third
of it.
The best guessers among the Dem
ocrats believe Col. CASTOR will win the
Senate nomination, with John jack
son Walsh second and Mr.. Whipple
third for reasons generally having re-
lation to Col. Gaston's bank roll and
manufactured enthusiasm" resulting
therefrom. The Democrat boys" in
Boston are said to be hungry"
Walsh n Barnstormer.
Mr.. Walsh is worthy of more than
passing notice He was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor two
years ago. He has been conducting a
transforming campaign for, the Senate
nomination. He is dry is for the
League Of Nations. against the tariff.
favors the bonus, overfriendly to labor
and demands "a new deal all around"
Also he is for cleaner politics. In a
speech the other night ne said: ,t'e.
Politically we are losing the best
brain power in the country by encour-
aging dirty politics and tolerating self
seeking politicians. Politics should be
a noble calling. The people stand on
the sidelincs and rarely realize the
penalties put upon those that aspire
to office"
Mr.. Walsh viii get lot of radical
and floating votes, probably more than
his rivals think. but not enough to
win. Prof. Sharp is dry" is for the
League OF Nations, is friendly to trades
unions, and is against the bonus and
tariff. He has confined his campaign
to the rural sections.
Democratic leaders who are on
speaking terms agree that about 200.-
600 votes will be cast for their candi-
dates for the Senate, but of course
they are apart in their estimates of it's
distribution.
