LODGE'S CONDITION

DOCTORS SAY
CAMBRIDGE, Mast. Sena
tor Cabot Lodge who
suffered a stroke on Wednes
day at the Charles Gate hospi
tal where he was convalescing
from an operation was some
what weaker at noon Saturday.
A bulletin sakl:
“Senator Dodge’s condition is
essentially the same. He it
somewhat weaker.”
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Little
change developed during the night
in the condition of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, who suffered a stroke
Wednesday according to a bulletin
issued by his physicians at the
Charles Gate hospital at 8:45 Sa
turday. The physicians said the
outlook was unfavorable.
The morning bulletin which was
6igned by Doctors John H. Cun
ningham and Frederick H. Winslow
who have been in attendance on
Senator Lodge throughout his ill
ness, said: *
‘‘There was no real change in the
patient's condition during the
night. The general outlook must
be considered unfavorable.”
Dp. Cunningham, who announced
Friday night for the first time since
Senator Lodge was stricken at noon
Wednesday that his patient had a
“fighting chance” of recovery, re
mained at the hospital all night and
before making public his statement
this morning made a careful exami
nation of Senator Lodge’s symp
toms, aided by Dr. Winslow.
The physicians admitted that the
rally of the senator at noon Friday
after he had been unconscious 48
hours was surprising. He had sev
eral short periods of consciousness
during which he recognized per
sons around him and spoke a few
words and nourishment was given
for the first time since the stroke.
Drs. Cunningham and Winslow
commented on the remarkable vi
tality which had enabled their pa
tient, in his 75th year, to continue
a fight for life against heavy odds
for so many years.

COMMISSION
ON FARMING
CONDITIONS
WASHINGTON.—President Coo

post-election plans, tho first of
which was set in operation Friday
with the appointment of the com
mission to Investigate agricultural
conditions. A conference of the
commission comprising eight repre
sentatives of farming interest!
drawn from virtually all sections
of tho country, is expected to be
called for the middle of the month.
Hubert I>. Carey, of Careyhurst,
Wyoming, a former governor of
that state, is chairman and the
membership, it wns Indicated, may
be Increased.
With tho appointment of this
voluntary body, President Coolidge
carried out one of the few propo
sals she advanced in accepting the
nomination Of the party an stand
ard bearer. He hopes to have Its
legislative recommendations before
him In time for action at the com
ing short session of congress. This
nnd appropriation bills are now
Ihn only measures which he feels
will require the attention of the
expiring congress.
Mr. Cojlilge Is of tho opinion that
present needs would not warrant
tho calling of a special session of
the new congress before Us regulnr
meeting in December next year.
Nor does he believe it feasible to
bring up again with the present
congress which passes out of exist

80,000 PEOPLE

Republican Campaign
NK WYOKK. —A report to be sent
Republican National Chairman Wil
liam M. Butler, within a few days,
by members of tho National Con
tributor* Committee, will show that
more people contributed to tho
campaign which closed Tuesday
than ever before ar.d that for the
first time In political history, a na
tional campaign has been wound up
without a deficit, according to Guy
Emerson, chairman of the com
mittee.
Four years ago the republican*
found themselves with a. deficit of
$1,600,000 at the close of the cam
paign and It took them nearly four
years to pay it off.
This year more than 80,000 con
tributor* gave about $4,000,000 to
ward the campaign. It Is bellleved
that after the few small outstanding
bills are cleared up there will be
an actual small balance with which
to keep a contribution organization
to pave the way for collection four
years hence.
At a meeting between John W.
Davis, the defeated democratic
presidential candidate, National
Chairman Clem Shaver and Jesse
Jones, the committee’s director of
finance today discussed handling
of the deficit said to be about $200,-
000. Plans of former years prob
ably will be adopted in assessing
the various state organizations on a
pro rata basis to cover the deficit.
