Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge writes to President Roosevelt about a serious situation developing in Massachusetts politics. At a recent state convention of the American Federation of Labor, the group denounced Lt. Governor Draper and nine of the eleven Republican Congressmen. Lodge believes that “Gus”, his son-in-law Augustus Peabody Gardner, “is a good fighter, but with this labor attack and the character of his opponent he has before him a very severe contest.” His opponent was a man named Schofield, a “Native-american demagogue with a great deal of local popularity.” Lodge spoke yesterday at the state convention in Rhode Island where a “Hearst man” is giving Republicans a tough fight as well.

Scenes of Calvin Coolidge being sworn in for second term as Governor of Massachusetts

At the State House in Boston, Calvin Coolidge is sworn in for his second term as Governor of Massachusetts on January 8, 1920. The ceremony actually took place in the Chamber of the House of Representatives, but this film is shot in the Council Chamber. Coolidge is sworn in by a man who is probably Edwin T. McKnight, President of the State Senate. The second sequence shows Governor Coolidge, members of his staff, and the Executive Council posing for the camera. Standing in the front are Coolidge and Lieutenant Governor Channing H. Cox. Seated, left to right, are: Councillors James G. Harris, George B. Wason, Matthew J. Whittall, and Harry H. Williams. In the back row, left to right, are: Secretary to the Governor Henry F. Long (visible between Coolidge and Cox), Assistant Secretary Harry S. Fairfield, Councillor Lewis R. Sullivan, Executive Secretary Charles S. Southworth, Councillor Horace A. Carter, Councillor Henry L. Bowles, and Edward Horrigan, the Governor’s body guard.
