SENATOR PASSES AWAY
AFTER WEEK’S ILLNESS
y lodge served continuously
IN SENATE SINCE 1893—
WAS GREAT LEADER
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 10—Sen
ator Cabot Lodge of this state died
in this city late Saturday night.
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu
setts served continuously in the
States Senate from 1893 until his
death, during which time, to his ex
pressed annoyance, he was pointed
out as “the scholar in politics.
He was born in leizure, but always
worked. A principle laid down by
him in early life was “The first thing
for a man of leizure to do, if he real
ly wishes to count in his day and
generation, is to avoid being an ama
teur.” Although he apparently had no
intention of practicing law, he work
ed hard and won a degree in that
branch at Harvard, and then worked
on a thesis on Anglo-Saxon land law's,
which won him his Ph. D. In the three
years that followed he w'as lecturing
at Harvard on American History, and
at the age of 30 was recognized as
an authoritative historian. Among the
score of books he w'rote were biogra
phies of Washington, Hamilton and
l tVebster.
It was his theory that every man
should “give of his leisure, more or
less, to politics; for it is simply good
citizenship for him to do so,” and
along with the historical researches
he became interested in contemporary
politics. His public career began
with the election to the Massachu
setts House of Representatives in
1S79. Six years as a member of Con
gress preceded his first election as
Senator. His oratory was distinguish
ed by his practice of sketching in an
historical background and his facil
ity in quoting apt historical incidents.
Mr. Lodge from the outset was an
enthusiastic Republican and an in
tense partisan. He was severely crit
icized by independently inclined mem
bers of his own party in 1884, when,
ou his return from the Republican
National convention at which he had
joined with other members of the
Massachusetts delegation in stren
uously opposing the nomination ot J.
G. Blaine for President, he announc
ed that he would give his support
to Blaine in his campaign tor elec
tion. As a member of the Commit
tee on resolutions at the Republican
National Convention in 1896, he wrote
the words which committed the par
to international bimetallism. Im
mediately after this convention, Sen
ator William E. Chandler of New
Hampshire announced that he would
give $100 to whoever could prove that
he was the author of this plank. It
was not until 1902 that the proof was
disclosed, w'hen Senator Foraker, who
had been chairman of the resolutions
committee found the original draft
of the platform, with the interlined
amendment to the bimetallism plank
Consisting of the words “which we
pledge ourselves to promote,” written
on a telegraph blank in Mr. Lodge’s
handwriting. Senator Chandler there
upon arranged a dinner at which he
presented Mr. Lodge with a silver ci
gar box valued at $100.
Mr. Lodge’s seat in the senate was
not seriously threatened until the
campaign of 1910, when rival candi
dates presented themselves for the
Republican nomination and waged a
bitter contest against him. In that
campaign he was charged writh having
jtjilt up a powerful machine to con
trol party affairs in Massachusetts.
He secured the nomination, however,
and in the election by the legislature
in January, 1911, was re-elected by a
margin of six votes.
Soon after leaving college Mr.
Lodge formed a close friendship with
Theodore Roosevelt. This was fos
tered by their joint interest in his
tory and politics, and during Mr.
Roosevelt’s administration as presi
dent Senator Lodge was invariably
a factor in conferences at the White
House.
The establishment of international
copyright, the regulation of immigra
tion, thereform of the consular serv
ice, and numerous other items ot no
table legislation were largely credit
ed to him. As member of the foreign
relations committee on which he
served many years, it fell to him to
tfuce charge in the Senate of a sec
ond Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and of the
treaty establishing the Alaskan tri
bunal—a tribunal of which he became
a member.
He was born at Boston May 12,
1850. He made his home in a pictur
