SECONDING SPEECH FOR HENRY CABOT LODGE
chicago--7-28-60
Rep. Gerald R. Ford, Jr.
As the glow of victory in World War II faded to a solemn resolve
that mankind must never again be subjected to such horross, the guidelines
to peace were established by a revered UnitedStates Senator from Michigan--
Arthur Vandenberg.
I am confident if this immortal son of the Middle West with his great
vision of a new world were with us this evening, he would be proud of
our nomination of Henry Cabot Lodge for the Vice Presidency of the United
States.
Henry Cabot Lodge was his colleague in the Senates a close personal
friend and a true disciple of Arthur Vandenberg.
He has a long record of devotion to and action for the cause of freedom.
He resigned from the Senate and volunteered to serve his country on
the battlefields of World War II, establishing a brilliant record as a
combat commander using guns and bullets against the evils of the tyranny
of that day.
Today, he battles tyranny with the powerful weapon of the American
devotion to freedom, backed by the strongest military force in the history
of the world.
He has guided our nation through critical periods in the international
political arena of the United Nations as the firm, constant and articulate
advocate of freedom in the day-to-day struggle to preserve peace with honor
for our nation and for all mankind.
The American people can be assured that with Richard M. Nixon and Henry
Dabot Lodge-giants of courage and foresight--as their leaders, the economic,
military and ideological challenge of world communism will fade in the sun
of a progressive, powerful, forward-looking America.

And peace with freedom and with honor will be the heritage of our
children and our children's children--as Senator Vandenberg hoped and
prayed.
It is with great respect for his ability, his devotion to freedom and
his record that I second the nomination of the next Vice-President of the
United States--Henry Cabot Lodge.
