BOo 1oLN, oept. lo.- w nat IS DellS watched as one of the most important primary elections in the history of the country is the contest being waged in Massachusetts, where Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is apparently nominated States Senate by large majority. Dean of the Senate, in which he is now serving his thirty-sixth year. at the age of 72, MT. Lodge is a candidate for his sixth term, and facing what will probably be a desperate political battle in the fall elections. As the leader of the Republican party and the bitter opponent of Mr. Wilson in the last administration, MT. Lodge has drawn the fire not only of the Demo- crats, but of women who cannot for give his opposition to suffrage, of the drys, who cannot forget his vote against the prohibition amendment, of the labor radicals, and the League of Nations adherents, who blame him for the defeat of that covenant It is an imposing array of foes, who are mastering their forces in a sworn de- termination to beat him.
 It is a dizzy pinnacle from which his enemies are endeavoring to hurl him. They hardly could have picked one who, had farther to fall, and certain it is that to defeat a president would not afford them half the satisfaction of de- throning Lodge.
 For Lodge is not only the Great Brahmin of the aristocratic New Eng land intelligensa, scholar, historian, essayist, member of the American Academy of Immortals, honored with the degrees of a dozen colleges, but he is the Republican leader of the Sen ate, the Republican party's favorite for national convention chairman for man the personification of the G. o. ?.
 If it may not be said that the little, slender Nestor of Nahant, with the grizzled hair and beard and the bored expression of a loftier being is not greatly beloved, it must be admitted that he is widely and deeply respected for his attainments and valued for his service to his state
 So far such friends and supporters have far outnumbered his enemies, though certain of even his Republican supporters have been pessimistic as to his chances for renomination. On the other hand his colleagues have de- clared that he would be renominated and reelected, faith which the re- suit of the primary yesterday appears to have justified Lodge himself was so confident of winning the primary that he made no canvass, and the pre- dictions of his friends that he would win four to one have been all but fulfilled.
 In Washington the contest has been for the seat of Senator Poindexter, who, besides being an "east-side" man and therefore not likely to have the hearty support of Puget Sound Repub- licans as against Lamping, has also drawn the fire of the Heart papers and criticism for his vote in favor of the seating of Senator Newberry. The in dications today are that Poindexter has been renominated by a substan- tial plurality.

There are very great many sheriffs,

was nominated by the Republicans In
