MAKES GOOD
WITH HIS BIG NAME
Massachusetts, Representative, Chrsened After Roman
Emperor, Son-in-Law of Senator Lodge, Rich
and Successful IN Politics

Augustus Caesar Gardner OF Massa-
c. usetts, began life with rather large
name to live up to, and he discharged
the duty early by becoming i son-in-
law OF senator Lodge, which would be
regarded by the whole house OF Caesar
as a real tribute. if the Caesars were
here and could know how much awe
nator Lodge inspires around Wash
II gton.
But that isn't the point. Mr. Lodge
never tries to run the politics of his
spTightly son-in-law, and nobody else
does-more than once. M Gardner
runs his own politics. F.e does pre-
ciseIy as he pleases. and generally gets
off with it. His district thinks he is
exactly what il needs in a Representa-
tive. and when he insurges about some
thing or other, as he is constantly
doing, why, the district goes insurgent
and that's the end Of It.
Massachusetts is as regular about its
politics as it IS about its drinks and it's
religion-eXCepf as to Gardner. When
he wants to be irregular, his district
gets irregular to accommodate him.
