Signature: "H. C. Lodge", 4½x6 green album leaf. Henry Cabot Lodge,
Jr. (1902-1985), the grandson of Henry Cabot Lodge, began his political

before serving as a Republican U.S. Senator from Massachusetts (1937-1944
and 1947-1952, his terms split due to his service during WWII). Defeated by John
F. Kennedy in 1952, Lodge was appointed by President Eisenhower as Chief of
the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in 1953. Having both the rank of
Ambassador and a position on Ike's Cabinet, Lodge became influential in the
formulation of U.S. foreign policy.His exposure during frequent
televised UN debates led to his selection as Richard Nixon's running mate for
Vice President in 1960, but the ticket lost to Democrats JFK and LBJ.
Sent to South Vietnam as Ambassador by President Kennedy and again by
President Johnson, Lodge was later dispatched by President Nixon as U.S.
Representative at the Paris peace talks on Vietnam. In between Vietnam
assignments, he was U.S. Ambassador to Germany. Lodge won the Republican
Presidential primary in New Hampshire as a write-in candidate in 1964. Lightly
foxed at blank margins. File holes at upper margin. Overall, fine
condition.
