Lodge, Henry Cabot (1850–1924)

US Republican politician. He was senator from Massachusetts 1893–1924 and chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after World War I. He supported conservative economic legislation at home but expansionist policies abroad. Nevertheless, he influenced the USA to stay out of the League of Nations 1920, arguing that it posed a threat to US sovereignty.

Lodge was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He was a Republican member of the House of Representatives 1887–93. As an advocate of US pursuit of empire, he joined President Theodore Roosevelt in calling for war against Spain in 1898. He insisted on modifications to the Treaty of Versailles with its provisions for the League of Nations. President Woodrow Wilson refused to accede and the Senate became deadlocked, finally refusing to ratify the treaty.

Perhaps Henry Cabot Lodge didn't need more reasons to hate Woodrow Wilson, but if you posit Lodge's knowledge of his wife's infidelity and combine it with her recent death, plus the rumors, true and false, about Wilson's infidelities, you begin to understand that there might have been something more than principle behind the loathing and contempt Lodge had for the president.
