...third largest margin in New Jersey's history, the Republicans took over the governorship from Democrat Charles Edison-who didn't seem to mind. Wealthy, 69-year-old Walter Evans Edge (Hoover's Ambassador to France, ally of the senior Henry Cabot Lodge in the Senate fight against the League of Nations) piled a plurality of 128,000 votes over Newark's Mayor Vincent J.

This probably was not an immediate question, but half the world could...
...Henry Cabot Lodge's report to the Senate was rooted in an experience that Columnist Ray Clapper wished every Congressman could have. The Senators had not returned from beyond the three-mile limit as experts. They had been in the way of the war at times, had been a headache to the military. But they had come back with one lesson deeply engraved: World War II is a long way from being won. Said Maine's Brewster, summing up: "Our soldiers know how tough this war is. We ought to know how tough...
