Senator Lodge is pleased with the settlement of the Anthracite Coal Strike and believes Republicans in Massachusetts will benefit. Lodge has two problems with which he would like help. First, he is seeking a fishing treaty with Newfoundland but wants to delay an agreement until after the election because he believes such a treaty will be unpopular in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Secondly, there is a Swedish translator that is set to be removed as he has not passed the civil service exam. Lodge would like him to keep his position as his removal will be unpopular and the replacement candidates are less than adequate.
