VOLUME XXXI, No. 315 BOOZE WORTH $200,000 DESTROYED IN ATLANTA ********* ********* ********* ********* LODGE’S DEATH CHANGES SENATE ALIGNMENT Question of New Leadership Has Unusual Angles WASHINGTON. Tfce passing of Senator Lodge just as his party was pre paring to harvest the fruits j of a sweeping victory at the ■ polls surrounds the ques tion of leadership in the senate with new and unusu al considerations. A veteran of the old guard, adamant against the policies of the LaFollette insurgents on the one hand and unable to accept some of the proposals of the re publican administration on the other, the Massachu sett patriarch more than once bad found his title as republican floor leader somewhat of an anomaly. MUST DECIDE ON NEW ALIGNMENT Now as the powerful equation of his personal influence has been re moved from the problem, party chieftains face the task of deciding what new alignment can be effect ed to fill the gap and make for par ty solidarity. In the determination of this ques tion President Coolidge undoubtedly will have an opportunity to wie'd the dominant power of party lead ership conferred on him by Tues day’s election. If he cares to give it his advice will be a powerful fac tor of the senate, or whether seniority is to he cast aside and some new leader lifted from the ranks to a position of command. The question assumes as still greater significance when it is con sidered that the new congress which meets nert year, will see a substan tial increase in republican, senate strength, bringing into the situation pew and untried quantities. In view of the changes to take place as a result of the election just held and the close balance in the present congress any permanent re-organ ization on the republican side may be delayed for some months and a temporary leader designated to act during the short winter session. Should no sweeping re-adjust ment of the senate situation be at< tempted it is probable that Sena tor Warren of Wyoming, or Sena tor Curtis, of Kansas, will become floor leader. But if there is to be a new deal- all around ‘hose to be considered probably will intlude Wadsworth, of New York; Moses of New Hhampshire; Watson, of Indiana, and Reed of Pennsylvania. THIRD SENATOR TO DIE IN FEW WEEKS Senator Lodge is the third promi nent senate republican to die with in recent weeks. As a result the re publican party finds itself with a membership of only 50 in the pres ent senate, or one less than a ma pority, unless Governor Cox of Massachusetts appoints a successor to the venerable legislator before congress re-assembles in Decem ber 1. .

In the face of that situation with but 50 members, not all of whom are classed as trict organisation men the problem of organization Is expected to develop difficulties which will require expert bandlina If the republicans are to continue for the session as the dominant par- . ty In that branch of congress.
