tho congressional' nomination. in. -his
district: Senator: Hdnry Cabot Lodge
who was then, as later, the master of
republican politics in the state, was
not pleased with Foss' caliber ftnd
personality, and had another man
whom he wanted in the place. So
he opposed Foss' nomination and ef
fectively downed him.
The tory goes that when the con
vention had nominated tho other
man and completed its work, Sena
tor Lodge remarked to a henchman,
at tho same time jerking his thumb
over his shoulder in the direction of
Foss, "We have beaten that blather
skite for all time;""
The insult was. promptly repeated
to Foss, who shook, his fist at Lodge
and said:
"Wo shall see whether you have
beaten me for all time!"
From that moment, Foss has had
hia large,' pugnacious chin set firm
ly and fiercely in the direction of
Henry Cabot Lodge, He has bided
his time with latent but inveterate
hostility: In the interval he may
have been very smooth with the sen
ator, butall the time he has had po
litical revenge in his heart.
So that Fobs' vigorous pronuncia
mento against Lodge in tho papers,
branding the senator as an enemy of
the people, and declaring v that he
must be beaten for the senate if the
people are to enjoy the fruit of their
recent victory, is merely the ad
journed session of that congressional
convention of ten years ago.
Fos3 is a man of rude, restless
force, of habitual energy, of business
like Industry, of democratic origin
and associations, of pointed and per
suasive speech, and an instinctive
popular leader.
Senator Lodge is said to have
called him a blatherskite and adera
agogue. He calls himself the trib
une of the people if ho cares to use
a phrase so classic.
He is going to give Senator Lodge
tho fight of his life in this campaign
for the senatorship? Foss is not sup
posed to be 'after the senatorship for
himself. He is probably convinced
that the very best thing he can do
himself is to keep up tho tribune-of-the-people
business and make good
in the governorship.
His definite plans as to tho senator
ship have not been declared, but It is
safo to assume one thing any man
whose name is not Henry Cabot
Lodge, and who can be elected, will
get Mr. Foss' support in the final
test.
Senator Lodge Is the exact oppo
sito of Eugene N. Foss. Unques
tionably he is" a scholar, demon
strably ho is a thinker,, essentially
he is a gentleman. He is a selfish
man, and Is prpbably aware of it
himself.
For years ho has, with subtle skill,
pracucea ino gentle art of making
enemies. He has his full share of
opponents In his own party, and in
I hia own rank In Hfo. All tiiAA

their retribution has now struck.: , .
'-Itwiir-'be?- great fight; fbrSen
ator Lodge, in Hia way, is aa good a
fighter aa Eugene Foss. Ho is also'
a man of force.
Mr. Lodge has a singular and baf
fling face gray, thinly Htfeardedi cen
tered in eyes and nose and mouth. of
L' concentrated ' keenness;-: No photo.-a
,graph or painted portrait 'has ever
presented this: face correctly It bof- ,
fles the caricaturist still moro-completely
than it does tho camera. No.
cartoon can hold Lodge up to effec-;
tive ridicule, for it cannot. set forth .
with any stinging sort of intimacy'"
the personal weaknesses or ambir
tions of its subject.
On the other hand, the senator is
shut out, by the same elusive with
drawnness of his face and nature,
from the avenue of approach to the
people's hearts. You could not say
that the people, loved Senator Lodge-
: any more than . you could: say thatUv
they loved the law of -the conteecvar ,;
tion of-energy or the diHusion oD.at; .
mospheric pressure.
A political disadvantage, all this
impersonality of character, all this ,
moral withdrawnness.
Yet on Senator Lodge's side some
mighty influences aro fighting. One ' ""
of the most potent of these is thrifty
condition of Massachusetts' business ' -men,
of all New England's business
men, that the Interests of New Eng
land's industries and business, are
