the administration and, consequently ; against MT. Lodge, because of his share in framing the Four Power | Treaty.
 So with labor and the Irish vote against the Sage of Nahant," as he likes to be called, the Democrats be- l, lieve that by pouring a great number of national speakers into Massachu- setts this fall they can retire Senator Lodge and even up lot of old scores. At any rate, they are going to try hard. James M. Cox is one of the Democrats who is intending to speak his mind concerning Henry Cabot Lodge in Massachusetts this fall. There are numerous others.
 It is conceded in Washington that Senator Lodge will have little diff culty in being renominated by the Bay State machine. The primary is yet long way off-September 12- and to date no real opposition has developed within his own party.
 BATES MAY RUN [ There is talk of ex-Governor John l.. Bates running, as, also, Joseph Walker but they have not advanced much further than the speculative stage as yet
 Who the Democrats will put up is problematical, but at this early date the contest apparently lies between Sherman l.. Whipple and William A. Gaston. Whipple is accounted one of the shrewdest lawyers in the United States. Gaston is a retired bank pres ident.
 That Senator Lodge, despite his amused tolerance, is not unaware Of the fact that he has fight on his hands this year is indicated by the fact that he hurried straightWay to Massachusetts as soon as the confer : ence treaties were ratified in order to "take rest" and look after some "political fencing"
 Some Democrats are so confident that they are going to "get" Lodge this year that they are already pick ing jobs for him after his defeat. The most common report current around capital tea-tables is that should Mass achusetts retire Senator Lodge this years he will be sent to London as American Ambassador to the Court of St. James, replacing Colonel George Harvey. What is going to happen to Colonel Harvey the whispers do not state.
 HAS SERVED LONGEST Henry Cabot Lodge has seen more party service than any man in the Republican party today, not even eX- cepting Elihu Root or "Uncle Joe' Cannon. He served four terms in the House before coming to the Senate, in 1893. and before that he was two years in the Massachusetts Legisla- ture.
 More than forty years in legisla- tive service! Truly veteran is Henry Cabot Lodge.
 More than twenty years ago, in 1900, he was permanent chairman Of the : Republican National convention at Philadelphia that renominated Me- Kinley.
 He was chairman of the Committee on Resolutions and framed the Re publican platform in 1904, when Roose- welt was nominated. Again, in 1908, he was permanent chairman at the Chicago convention, at which Taft was nominated.
 Senator Lodges autobiography is markedly silent about 1912, when Roosevelt bolted at Chicago; but again, in 1916, he was permanent chairman at the great peace conven- tion, and he occupied the same covet- ed position in 1920, when Harding was selected a man in sWaddling clothes, politically speaking, so far as Henry Cabot Lodge is concerned. There was an occasion in that hectic 1916 convention when Henry Cabot Lodge almost became the compromise candidate for the Presidency. Roose- welt, sitting at Oyster Bay, with the whip-hand, sent word that Lodge was acceptable to him as a compromise , man. It failed to go over. But that is another story.
