Democratic Gorfrnor Says Lodge Is
Against People on Every Uve
Issue, Is Reactionary and
Belongs to Irad Era.
BOSTON. Mass., Jan. 4. (Special.)
Fenalor Lodge's chance of re-election
Is dally beomlna" smaller. Driven by
the onalauahts of Governor-elect Fose
to defend his course In public for the
first time during his tenure of the
offtre, he la Immediately met by an
other fierce attack from the same
source and It appears that a fusion of
Imorrats and Insurgent Republicans
may accomplish his overthrow. In or
der to facilitate such a fusion, a lead
Ins; candidate for the Democratic nomi
nation has already withdrawn.
As the Legislature now stands, the
winning oyer of one Republican to the
ranks of the Insurgents would mean
Lodge's defeat, unless he ran win over
some other vote to offset It. The Re
publicans have a majority on Joint bal
lot of Z7. Of the Republican mem
bers. 13 have declared themselves
against Ms re-election. Their defec
tion to the opposition would leave a
margin of only one vote.' But as many
more Republicans have declined to de
clare themselves either tor or against
IKige. With the tide setting so
strongly against the ttenator, It ap
pears hardly probable that he will win
over any of the Insurgents, while there
la small probability that he ran se
cure the support of all those who have
hitherto held aloof. The voting will
begin on January IT.
Behind the Times, Says Fosa.
ledge's speech to the Legllsature
last nleht has called forth the follow
ing declaration from the Governor
elect, who will be Inaugurated tomor
row. "Senator Lodge's speech of last night
was an eloquent personal reminiscence.
It told of the past. b not a word of
the present or future. If there was
any doubt as to the fact that the Sena
tor was defeated, this speech has com
pletely dispelled that Illusion. For
his own utterances have defeated him.
"lie stands pat on the tariff, on re
ciprocity with Canada, on the Income
tax. on the direct primary, on the elec
tion of United States Senators by popu
lar vote, on the recall, on the initia
tive and on the referendum.
"All of these Issues are what the
election was fought and won on In
Massachusetts last Rail, We now see
that he Is opposed to every one of
them and. If he had been a candidate
before the people, he may have been
overwhelmingly defeated.
"lie knows It. and for the life of me
I do not see how he can offer him
self as a candidate for the Senate un
der the circumstances.
Discredited In Eyes of People.
"He Is a discredited man In the eyes
of the people and for that reason could
render no effective service la the Sen
ate of the United States, for he would
not represent the sentiment of the
people.
-He does not stand for the new order
of tnings. He does not believe In the
rapacity and the right of the people
to govern themselves. lie said unmis
takably that he does not thtnk the
people competent to advise their publlo
servants. He Is a reactionary. He
face to the rear and he belongs to an
era which Is already dead.
"Massachusetts demands something
besides oratory. She wants a man In
the Senate, who. In the first place,
stsnds for the will of the people; who
believes In the people, whose heart
and conscience and efforts are with
the people."
The Republicans today carried
through tnelr programme for the or
ganisation of the Legislature, though
the Democrats gave them a fight In
both houses. In the Senate. Allen T.
Iteadway was re-elected president by
a strict party vote, but In the House
the re-election of Joseph Walker as
Fncaker over Martin M. Lomasney.
Iumocrat. was secured! only after a

Under the terms of the contract, these

steerage traffic on a pro rata allotment
wtt'u the express stipulation that no

In excess of such allotted percentage.
To provide against violations, a penalty

provided for In the alleged agreement.
Further alleged provisions stipulated that

that, whenever possible, rates should be
raised rather than lowered.
The alleged contract exacted from each
signatory the deposit of a promissory
note for an amount equal to IWC for each
1 per cent of traffic allotted to the signa
tory. Upon withdrawal of any member
of the conference without permission
from all the others, this deposit was to
be forfeited. It also was subject to for
feiture if any member failed to pay 4

All forfeits and fines were to be di
vided among the members not penalised
and all matters In dispute were to be
referred to an arbitrator, who was given
the further power of Imposing a penslty

the state received only 2 per cent of

On the contrary, both Senators have
taken ground that Oregon, by reason

from that fund and neither is disturbed
because the Government reclamation
work will cease in Oregon after the

Representatives Ellis and Hawley
were today at work upon an argument
which they will present to the President
urging that some" material portion of
the . $45,000,000 be allotted to Oregon,
and particularly will they urge an al
