of the most picturesque, careers in

As an aristocrat, historian, es

though still vigorous, that he
reached the big moment of his
career.

as republican leader of the sen

This high spot of Lodge’s life—
the smashing of the League of

admiration of millions of his
countrymen and the undying hat
red of many others.
