FIVE FIGHTING TO PRY LODGE OUT OF SEAT IN SENATE Political Battle in Mass is Sensational; Only Earthauake Can Pre- i vent Nomination, Said (Special to tho Evening Post) Boston, Sept 8. Campaign' ex citement grips Massachusetts. The nreliminarv skirmish in the battle to pry Henry Cabot Lodge tut of the United States senate will be held next Tuesday, September 12, Lodge himself .is the calmest, coolest person In the state. His opponents, some Republicans and all Democrats, are excited, not because they think LodgewiIl be -beaten (or the Republican nomlna tion, but because they are trying to work the state Into enough of a sweat to give the Democratic can .didate a chance in the November election. Lodge in calm and cool because it is his nature: also because he know, just as the Democrats pri vately concede, that only an earth quake can prevent his nomination. Joseph Walker, former speaker of the Massachusetts house of rep-, resentatives, is the man who has the thankless job of trying to beat Lodge in the primaries. Few are rash enough to bet on Walker's chances. All the betting centers in the fight for the Demo cratic nomination. These are the candidates: Sherman L. Whipple, lawyer and former counsel U. S. shipping board. , Col. William A. Gaston, chair 'man National Shawmut Bank. John Jackson Walsh, former state representative. Dallas Lore Sharp, professor of , English, Boston university. - The Democratic race is thought to be-between Whipple and Gaston. The latter, - former candidate for both governor and united States senator, is backed by John F. Fitz gerald, former mayor of Boston and now -candidate- for governor. Whipple has the backing of the other political boss, Mayor James M. Curley, of Boston. - The primary fight is curious In that five men one Republican and four Democrats- are vigorously lambasting Lodge, while' the pub Ik looks on with langour and apathy; "Beat Lodsre!" That's the err. But few believe anybody can beat Lodge.' The public is enjoying the Joust, oat with a certain jealousy; they bitterly resent the disposition of senators and congressmen and private citizens in other states joining in the lambasting of Lodge. To them Lodge is an institution, a monument, a local deity senator for thirty years, as permanent as the Plymouth Rock. -National interest is greater in the Massachusetts, fight than in any other political' struggle of the year, particularly because Lodge is regarded in his capacity as chair man of the senate committee on foreign relations and his leader ship of the fight against former President Wilson and the League of Nations aa the arch-enemy of tho Democratic party. .-.v-Democrats in Massachusetts and the United States generally are praying for the defeat of Lodge in his sixth senatorial fight But they are gloomily apprehending no earthquakes, certainly none at the primaries, and probably none in November. Seattle, Wash., Sept 8. With Washington senatorial , primary set for Sept 12, the outstanding issue is the fight of. Senator Miles Poindexter for renomination. Poindexter, who won a spectacu lar fight in 1910 when he received . the nomination as an insurgent now has lopjrosition of the same progressive forces, while former conservative opponents now. are his strongest supporters in a fight, for renomination on his record. Progressives, however, are un able to narrow their candidates to one, and his renomination, is as sured, it is predicted. Mrs. Frances Axtell, first wo man legislate in the state, has been named as Poindexter's chief opponent by labor and woman's organizations. -- .-. v , George B. .Lambing,' father of " the state bonus candidate, is seek , ing nomination as a progressive Both Lamping and Mrs. Axtell , agreed to reduce jthe field against .

Speaks, Greensboro, Sept 8, Greens boro is today filled with members of the North Carolina department of the American Legion. The con vention program -got underway as scheduled at 9:30. Delegates from the various posts listened attentively to tne aa dresses of welcome and responses, but their chief interest centered around the fight for department commander next year and the se lection of a convention city. Dr. Everett Lockett, of Winston Salem: James Lockhardt, of Char lotte; Dr. I. T. Mann, of High Point and Captain Cherry, of Gaa tonia, are four of the candidates being boosted by their posts. Most of the day was spent politicing for them. ' For Adjutant Bob Denny, of Greensboro, and Shaw, of Char lotte are apparently leading : the race. Should Mann, of High Point, be elected as commander, Shaw will probably have a shade on Denny a Mann and Denny are from the same county. For the same reason Lockhart's .election would probably affect Shaw ad versely. Tne business of the- convention this morning included the reading I of the minutes of the last conven Kiotv the report of the credentials committee and the reports of the officers, and the appointment of the convention committees. , Governor Morrieon addressed joint session of the Legion and Auxiliary following the report of the officers.

The plan centered around the compe tition- between the districts for stand of colors to the district in creasing its .membership more proportion to its possibilities.
