Senator Lodge was disappointed with the Massachusetts gubernatorial election, not just by Louis Adams Frothingham’s defeat but by the election of Governor Foss. Business and financial concerns led to many votes for Foss. The recent elections damaged Governor Wilson’s and Governor Harmon’s chances of being the Democratic nominee for president. Lodge expects the Democrats to nominate William Jennings Bryan or Champ Clark with Governor Foss as vice president. Lodge was pleased to hear of Theodore Douglas Robinson’s election victory.
