PRIMARIES. WILL
Be HELD IN DAY
) STATE TUESDAY
Voters in Both Parties Will
Go to the Polls to Nomi-
nate Candidates; Lodge
Is Being Fought.

Boston, Sept 10.-A campaign
that has shaken both parties and
confused the voters will end to-
morrow and on Tuesday republi-
cans will go to the polls to de-
eide whether Senator Henry Ca
bot Lodge and Governor Cham
ming H. Cox shall be renominated
and the democrats. to select their
opponents to the republican
nominees.
There are contests in both par
ties also for the nominations for
lieutenant governor and there are
six candidates for the republican
nomination for attorney general.
Congressional contests are few.
Joseph Walker, former pro-
gressive and one time speaker of
the state house of representa-
tives, opposes Senator Lodge. He
has charged the senator with be-
ing reactionary and with having
failed to make plain his position
on the prohibition amendment
which Walker favors. Senator
Lodge in numerous speeches has
defended his course in the senate
and has pointed out that al
though he opposed the prohibit
ton amendment, he voted for the
Volstead enforcement act.
Attorney General J. Weston
Allen, who seeks the republican
nomination for governor, has
made an aggressive campaign in
which he has charged Governor
Cox with failing to give him
proper support in his successful
attempts to bring about the re-
moval of District Attorneys 80
seph c. Pelletier and Nathan A.
Tufts, of Suffolk and Middlesex
counties, respectively. He has
accused the governor of being
tied up with political rings with

then a great deal Of hunting has
been going on. with the result that
lions, as well as other animals Of the
district-once a hunters FL Dorado
are not nearly so plentiful.
But while at some stages Of the
trip no lions could be found. in spite
Of the most diligent search. at others
they proved to be still sufficiently
numerous to cause alarm among
neighboring tribes. Thus in one VII
lage, on the Ruind Plain. the inhab-
itants begged us to organize a lion
hunt and so rid them Of the atten-
tions Of some Of the more daring Of
the species. A few days before a
girl of Is had been so severely
mauIed by a lioness that she had
died, and In view Of this episode I
agreed to help.
A shelter was built and zebra
steaks temptingly displayed in front
of it. Late that night no fewer than
fifteen lions presented themselves as
targets for our guns. Their leader.
a thin but otherwise magnificent
black named male, was surrounded
by his mates and their cubs. He fell
to my first shot, while the rest stam-
peded toward our hiding place. One
exceedingly fierce lioness made a de-
termined rush at the barrel Of my
rifle, almost tearing the weapon
from my hands, while the rest
bounded past us into the jungle.
Half an hour later we were sur
prised to discover from the sup
pressed growls and crunching sounds
that came to our ears, that some Of
the animals had returned to the bait,
regardless Of the danger that awaited
them. The incident served to en-
phasize another aspect Of the danger
that threatens the lion. The beasts
were starving, no doubt as a result
of the diminution Of smaller game,
which has suffered in common with
the larger kinds: and they returned
again and again to the feast In spite
Of our shots, which resulted in the
