The New York herald., 1920-12-07

Senator Hsrdillg's seat and that IL Is
due 20 the proprieties TO take cognizance
OF that interesting and historic fact.
Lodge Speaks With Emotion.
Calmly. but with some emotion shak-
ing his voice, senator Lodge says he
can't refrain from mentioning the fact
that for the first time in the history OF
the United States seated Senator has
been elected TO the Presidency. Senator
Lodge ventures to suggest that Senator
HARDING. making new history. be recog-
nized by the Chair. so that Senator
Harding may speak informally to the
Senate before he sewers his connection
with that body.
A storm of handclapping sweeps the
chamber, the Senators below shifting
their palms as vigorously as the folk in
the jammed galleries. This runs for a
full minute as Senator Harding arises
with some diffidence and starts slowly
toward the dais. Then IT appears that
Vice President Marshall is entering prop
erly into the spirit of the lively affair,
for he springs with agility from his ele-
waited post catches Senator Harding by
the hand and personally escorts him to
re rostrum. Another wave of hand
clapping rolls over the chamber as the
Senators stand and gaze on Harding.
