To prevent a stampede of Hie- national republican convention for the reiiomlnatlon of Preside-ill Uoosevell Is the object of plans which have JIIH ! been adopted.

Senator Lodge' has lluishc'd the- rough ! draft of his speech. It Is not long , about L'.UOO words , lint those who know anything about It say that it is charged with dynamite for the third term movement. The- senator will describe- a gtueral way the achieve ments of the republican party and will laud the president lor the part hi' lias pla.vc'd in the business regen eration of the country. At Hie- same timehe will make It ce-ar | that uiidi'i1 no circumstances would the preside-nt accept a rcnomlnallon. Whether he has been authorised to make any btatement of the kind can not he learned , but his well known relations with the president , which are of a most inllmuto character , justi fy the prediction that the convention wil accept what he says as the > views which are enli'rtalned by Mr. lloose- volt.
