Cox Pays Tribute.
Gov Cox paid the following tribute
to the Senator:
Senator Lodge was a truly great
man. He never avoided a struggle
for the principles which he embraced
and he met such contests with the
vigor and knowledge that marked
him as an outstanding statesman. His
talents would have made him eminent
in any walk in life. His name will
loom large in the history of his coun-
try and will ever be cherished by
the commonwealth which he so ably
served and passionately loved
Massachusetts has been fortunate
in the line of distinguished men who
have been her representatives in the
United States Senate and Henry Cabot
Lodges place Is secure in this honored
company"
Struck down last Wednesday just
ss he was making a rapid conva-
lescence from his second operation
within few months, the 74-year-old
Senator was unconscious during most
OF the days intervening before his
death
For a brief period on Friday he
rallied with remarkable vitality and
regained consciousness for a few
brief periods during which he spoke
to his physician and the relatives at
his bedside. He again relapsed into
a coma, however. and his strength
gradually ebbed away.
His daughter law, Mrs. John E.
Lodge; his granddaughter, Miss
Helena Lodge; two grandsons, John
S. and Henry Cabot Lodge, I'd, and
his physician, DR.. John c. Cunning
ham, were at the bedside when he
died.
Tribute Paid Generally.
Word of his death brought tribute
from many places.
The Senator had attended the Repub-
1ican convention at Cleveland, at which
his former leadership of the State forces
was divided between Speaker Gillett
and GOV Cox. but within a month suf-
fered condition that required an emer-
gency operation on July 27. Recovery
was surprisingly good, and three months
later second operation was performed
Again the Senator's stamina stood him
in good stead, and he was out of bed
October %, three days after the opera
tion.
With the reopening of Congress only
three weeks ahead, Senator Lodge was
planning to leave the hospital in few
days and get ready to take his seat
when the stroke came. 1t left him un-
conscious and in a condition SO critical
that death was considered likely at any
time. Senator Lodge had four years
etill to serve in the United States Sen
ate. where he had represented this
State continuously for 81 years. His
place will be filled by appointment, Gov.
Cox having authority under a legisla-
tive act passed two years ago to name
a successor until the next general cleo
tion. That will not take place until
1925.
