Bolton, October 21—Former Prei ldentj Roosevelt arrived In Boaton today to deliver a campaign speecn in behalf of hla friend Senator Hen ry Cabot Lodge, whose term in the United States senate will come to an end next March and who is a can didate tor re-election.

The fact that It has been deemed advisable to have the former Presi dent speak in ms oenair is taken as an indication that Senator Lodge for the first time in seventeen years feels that his bold on the senate is not past the breaking. The fact tnat the Sena tor abandoned his annual vacation trip to Europe thiB summer'—'"■* been busy with his campi the middle of July is re: fifrther evidence that he reall : of the situation, echusetts has always jirOtltr of Senator Lodge, whoi reer In many res] tlngutshed and THE GREATEST OF ALL SHIPS The New Olympic Which was Launched Yesterday is the Record-Breaker. Belfast, October It.—An ocean steamer that will rank among the wonders of the world is to be launch ed tomorrow at the yards of Har- land and Wolff, In this city. The | several hi steamship is the Olympic and close by is her'sister ship, the Titanic, which will soon be ready to take her Initial plunge In the. deep. . While nothing seems to be Impos sible with shipbuilders, there are many bold enough to prophesy that, so far as slse Is concerned, these steamers are the last word in the building of merchant ships. They ar< being built for tho Oceanic Stean Navigation' Company, more widely known as the White Star Line, and wll ply between Liverpool and New York. The new vessels will have a dis placement of 48,000 tons: They aft to be 860 feet long, with a beam of 90 feet, and the boat deck win be more than 60 feet above the water. In both tonnage and slse they will surpass the Mauretania and Lusi tania, although they are not expected to do so id speed. The lines of the new ships are not designed for great speed, 21 knots being the average aimed at, as against the 25 of the giant Cunarders. An Immense amount of space, which In fast bolts Is devoted to machinery, will thus bo saved for cabin accomodation.

No one belteyes tint Repre sentative Butler Ames, who Is the only announced candidate for the Lodge Toga, has much of a chance to break Into the senate. Tnote Is be- tho caucus selection of Hr. Lodge. The greatest danger, however, to the Senator lies In the chance which ad mittedly exists that the Democrats may control the next leglsmiure ou joint ballot. While tho Republicans of Maeia- rhusetts have controlled the I -glsla- ture lor many years by a safe mar gin, there are many districts ■« the blate In each of which the parly nut- ' Jt rlty at the last election 'or n> m- i ers of the legislature was less then 300 votes. The Democratic hope tor supremacy Is based on cxpecteo changes In these districts where the Republicans have control by veij narrow margins.
