CHAIRMAN LODGE TO SET FORTH
PRESIDENT'S OPPOSITION.
SEE PERIL OF A STAMPEDE
Will Give Emphasis to President's
Opposition to Renomination in His
Speech to Convention. First Draft
of Speecli Prepared.
Chicago , June 11. 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' , II Is Icurne-d , will In
his speech lo the convention as per-
maue-iiL chairman emphatically ev-
pre'ss I he well known opposition of
thepre'sidcnt to a third term.
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.
Thestrc'iigth of the umlercnrreni
which is running for the president can
be- i .islly ascertained by talking with
thedi'legate's who alie-ady have' ar
rived iu Chicago. Kvory one of Ihe'he '
men is aware of Hie unalterable char
acter of the pre side'in's decision , but
most of them admit that they would
vote- for him , In spile' of ilu-lr Instrnc
tion , If he- could be induced lo run
again.
