w yOODROW WILSON paid
w more attention to the cam
paign of Senator Lodge
(Mass.) than to any other, and had
hoped for the defeat of the author
Of the Lodge reservations to the
Versailles treaty and leader of the
Republican majority which de-
feated the covenant of the League
of Nations, and he was disappointed
when Lodge won.
1t was learned to-day that the
only comment Mr.. Wilson made on
the result was when the news was
telephoned to him that Senator
Lodge had beens reelected by a
greatly reduced majority.
And Lodge came limping in,"
said Mr.. Wilson with his only
smile of the evening.
