In 1880–1882, Lodge served in the [[Massachusetts House of Representatives]]. Lodge represented his home state in the [[United States House of Representatives]] from 1887 to 1893 and in the Senate from 1893 to 1924.<ref name="cd">{{cite web |title=S.

Along with his close friend Theodore Roosevelt, Lodge was sympathetic to the concerns of the [[Mugwump]] faction of the Republican Party. Nonetheless, both reluctantly supported [[James Blaine]] and [[protectionism]] in the [[1884 United States presidential election|1884 election]]. Blaine lost narrowly.<ref>David M. Tucker, ''Mugwumps: Public Moralists of the Gilded Age'' (1991).</ref>

Lodge was first elected to the US Senate in 1892 and easily reelected time and again but his greatest challenge came in his reelection bid in January 1911. The Democrats had made significant gains in Massachusetts and the Republicans were split between the progressive and conservative wings, with Lodge trying to mollify both sides. In a major speech before the legislature voted, Lodge took pride in his long selfless service to the state. He emphasized that he had never engaged in corruption or self-dealing. He rarely campaigned on his own behalf but now he made his case, explaining his important roles in civil service reform, maintaining the gold standard, expanding the Navy, developing policies for the Philippine Islands, and trying to restrict immigration by illiterate Europeans, as well as his support for some progressive reforms. Most of all he appealed to party loyalty. Lodge was reelected by five votes.<ref>John A. Garraty, ''Henry Cabot Lodge: A Biography'' (1953) 280-83</ref>

Lodge was very close to Theodore Roosevelt for both of their entire careers. However, Lodge was too conservative to accept Roosevelt's attacks on the judiciary in 1910, and his call for the initiative, referendum, and recall. Lodge stood silent when Roosevelt broke with the party and ran as a third-party candidate in 1912. Lodge voted for Taft instead of Roosevelt; after Woodrow Wilson won the election the Lodge-Roosevelt friendship resumed.<ref>Garraty, ''Henry Cabot Lodge: A Biography'' (1953) 287-91, 323</ref>

===Civil rights===
In 1890, Lodge co-authored the [[Lodge Bill|Federal Elections Bill]], along with Senator [[George Frisbie Hoar]], that guaranteed federal protection for [[African American]] voting rights. Although the proposed legislation was supported by President [[Benjamin Harrison]], the bill was blocked by filibustering Democrats in the Senate.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wilson |first1=Kirt H. |title=The Politics of Place and Presidential Rhetoric in the United States, 1875–1901 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oxAy2SDXvBkC&q=Civil+rights+rhetoric+and+the+American+presidency&pg=PP1 |access-date=November 19, 2011 |year=2005 |chapter=1 |pages=32, 33 |publisher=Texas A&M University Press |isbn=978-1-58544-440-3 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

In 1891, he became a member of the Massachusetts Society of the [[Sons of the American Revolution]]. He was assigned national membership number 4,901.

That same year, following the [[March 14, 1891 lynchings|lynching of eleven Italian Americans]] in New Orleans, Lodge published an article blaming the victims and proposing new restrictions on Italian immigration.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Leach|first1=Eugene E.|title=Mental Epidemics: Crowd Psychology and American Culture, 1890–1940|journal=American Studies|publisher=Mid-America American Studies Association|volume=33|issue=1|pages=5–29|date=1992|jstor=40644255}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Lodge|first1=Henry Cabot|title=Lynch Law and Unrestricted Immigration|journal=The North American Review|date=May 1891|volume=152|issue=414|pages=602–612|jstor=25102181}}</ref>

Lodge's support for voting rights did not extend to women. He was a leading opponent of [[Women's suffrage in the United States|women's suffrage]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Flexner |first=Eleanor |title=Century of Struggle |date=1975 |publisher=Belknap Press of Harvard University |edition=2nd |location=Cambridge, MA |pages=306–07 |language=English}}</ref> Lodge did not change his position even after the junior senator from Massachusetts, [[John W.

===Spanish–American War===
Lodge was a strong backer of U.S. intervention in [[Cuba]] in 1898, arguing that it was the moral responsibility of the United States to do so:

<blockquote>Of the sympathies of the American people, generous, liberty-loving, I have no question. They are with the Cubans in their struggle for freedom. I believe our people would welcome any action on the part of the United States to put an end to the terrible state of things existing there. We can stop it. We can stop it peacefully. We can stop it, in my judgment, by pursuing proper diplomacy and offering our good offices. Let it once be understood that we mean to stop the horrible state of things in Cuba and it will be stopped. The great power of the United States, if it is once invoked and uplifted, is capable of greater things than that.</blockquote>

Following American victory in the [[Spanish–American War]], Lodge came to represent the imperialist faction of the Senate, those who called for the annexation of the [[Philippines]]. Lodge maintained that the United States needed to have a strong navy and be more involved in foreign affairs. However, Lodge was never on good terms with [[John Hay]], who served as Secretary of State under McKinley and Roosevelt, 1898–1905. They had a bitter fight over the principle of commercial reciprocity with Newfoundland.<ref>Dennett, ''John Hay'' (1933), pp 421–429.</ref>

In a letter to Theodore Roosevelt, Lodge wrote, "Porto Rico is not forgotten and we mean to have it".<ref name="Puerto Rico">{{cite web |title=Spanish-American War in Puerto Rico |url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/pdfhost/docs/NRHP/Text/64500545.pdf |website=National Park Service |publisher=United States Department of the Interior |access-date=July 30, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211073515/https://npgallery.nps.gov/pdfhost/docs/NRHP/Text/64500545.pdf |archive-date=February 11, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Alaska Boundary Dispute===
{{main|Alaska boundary dispute}}
Henry Cabot Lodge was one of the politicians involved in the Alaska Boundary Dispute during 1896–1903. The border was not clearly labelled in southeast Alaska which started a conflict between Canada and the United States. Canada wanted the Alaska Panhold for its direct route from the Klodndike Gold Rush to the Pacific, and its resources while the United States wanted it for its vital trading and shipping routes. Although Canada lost, the event is still significant as it distinguished the two countries' political interests.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Farr |first1=D. M.

===Immigration===
[[File:Henry Cabot Lodge by James E. Purdy, 1902, gelatin silver print, from the National Portrait Gallery - NPG-NPG 82 60Lodge-000001.jpg|thumb|right|''[[Carte de visite]]'' by [[James E. Purdy]], 1902]]

Lodge was a vocal proponent of immigration restrictions, for a number of reasons. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, significant numbers of immigrants, primarily from Eastern and Southern Europe, were migrating to industrial centers in the United States. Lodge argued that unskilled foreign labor was undermining the standard of living for American workers, and that a mass influx of uneducated immigrants would result in social conflict and national decline. In a May 1891 article on Italian immigration, Lodge expressed his concern that immigration by "the races who have peopled the United States" was declining, while "the immigration of people removed from us in race and blood" was on the rise.<ref>Lodge (1891), p. 611</ref> He considered northern Italians superior candidates for immigration to southern Italians, not only because they tended to be better educated, had a higher standard of living, and had a "higher capacity for skilled work",<ref name="puleo"/> but because they were more "Teutonic" than their southern counterparts, whose immigration he sought to restrict.<ref name="puleo">{{cite book|last1=Puleo|first1=Stephen|title=The Boston Italians|date=2007|publisher=Beacon Press|location=Boston|isbn=9780807050361|pages=[https://archive.org/details/bostonitaliansst00stev/page/n103 82]–83|url=https://archive.org/details/bostonitaliansst00stev|url-access=registration|access-date=February 11, 2016}}</ref><ref name="puleo2">{{cite book|last1=Puleo|first1=Stephen|title=Dark Tide: The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 |date=2010 |publisher=Beacon Press|location=Boston|isbn=9780807096673|page=34|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yWtJGLG0aEcC&pg=PA34}}</ref>

Lodge was a supporter of "100% Americanism", a common theme in the nativist movement of the era. In an address to the New England Society of Brooklyn in 1888, Lodge stated:

<blockquote>Let every man honor and love the land of his birth and the race from which he springs and keep their memory green. It is a pious and honorable duty. But let us have done with British-Americans and Irish-Americans and German-Americans, and so on, and all be Americans ... If a man is going to be an American at all let him be so without any qualifying adjectives; and if he is going to be something else, let him drop the word American from his personal description.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lodge |first1=Henry Cabot |title=Speeches |publisher=Houghton Mifflin |date=1892 |page=[https://archive.org/details/speeches00lodggoog/page/n60 46] |url=https://archive.org/details/speeches00lodggoog |access-date=2016-10-18 }}</ref></blockquote>

He did not believe, however, that all races were equally capable or worthy of being assimilated. In ''The Great Peril of Unrestricted Immigration'', he wrote that "you can take a Hindoo and give him the highest education the world can afford ... but you cannot make him an Englishman" and cautioned against the mixing of "higher" and "lower" races:

<blockquote>On the moral qualities of the English-speaking race, therefore, rest our history, our victories, and all our future. There is only one way in which you can lower those qualities or weaken those characteristics, and that is by breeding them out. If a lower race mixes with a higher in sufficient numbers, history teaches us that the lower race will prevail.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lodge|first1=Henry Cabot|editor1-last=Frink|editor1-first=Henry Allyn|title=The New Century Speaker for School and College|date=1898|publisher=Ginn|pages=177–179|chapter=The Great Peril of Unrestricted Immigration|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4pYAAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA177|access-date=2016-02-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171019070943/https://books.google.com/books?id=4pYAAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA177|archive-date=2017-10-19|url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>

As the public voice of the [[Immigration Restriction League]], Lodge argued in support of literacy tests for incoming immigrants. The tests would be designed to exclude members of those races he deemed "most alien to the body of the American people".<ref>{{cite book |last1=O'Connor |first1=Thomas H. |author-link=Thomas H. O'Connor |title=The Boston Irish: A Political History |publisher=Back Bay Books |date=1995 |isbn=0-316-62661-9 |page=[https://archive.org/details/bostonirishpolit00ocon_0/page/156 156] |url=https://archive.org/details/bostonirishpolit00ocon_0/page/156 }}</ref> He proposed that the United States should temporarily shut out all further entries, particularly persons of low education or skill, to more efficiently assimilate the millions who had already come. From 1907 to 1911, he served on the [[Dillingham Commission]], a joint congressional committee established to study the era's immigration patterns and make recommendations to Congress based on its findings. The commission's recommendations led to the [[Immigration Act of 1917]].

===World War I===
[[File:Henry Cabot Lodge c1916.jpg|thumb|right|Lodge in 1916]]
Lodge was a staunch advocate of entering [[World War I]] on the side of the [[Allies of World War I|Allied Powers]], attacking President [[Woodrow Wilson]] for poor military preparedness and accusing pacifists of undermining American patriotism.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} On April 2, 1917, the day that President Wilson [[q:Woodrow Wilson Urges Congress to Declare War on Germany|urged Congress to declare war]], Lodge and [[Alexander Bannwart]], a [[pacifist]] constituent who wanted Lodge to vote against the war, got into a fistfight in the U.S. Capitol. Bannwart was arrested<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/93385729/senator-lodge-right-there-with-the-punch/|title=Senator Lodge Right There With The Punch|pages=1, [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/93385841/senator-lodge-right-there-with-the-punch/ 2]|first=Charles S.|last=Groves|work=The Boston Globe|via=Newspapers.com|date=April 2, 1917|access-date=January 25, 2022|archive-date=January 25, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220125054109/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/93385729/senator-lodge-right-there-with-the-punch/|url-status=live}}</ref> but Lodge opted not to press charges. Bannwart later sued Lodge to have the record corrected; initial news reports suggested that Bannwart hit Lodge first, but Lodge acknowledged in settling the lawsuit that he had hit Bannwart first. This is the only known instance of a U.S. Senator attacking a constituent.<ref name=boston.com>{{cite web|url=https://www.boston.com/news/history/2017/04/06/100-years-ago-the-us-entered-wwi-and-a-senator-from-massachusetts-punched-a-protester-in-the-face-over-it/|title=100 years ago, the US entered WWI—and a senator from Massachusetts punched a protester in the face over it|publisher=[[Boston.com]]|first=Nik|last=DeCosta-Klipa|date=April 6, 2017|access-date=January 27, 2022|archive-date=January 27, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220127035417/https://www.boston.com/news/history/2017/04/06/100-years-ago-the-us-entered-wwi-and-a-senator-from-massachusetts-punched-a-protester-in-the-face-over-it/|url-status=live}}</ref>

After the United States entered the war, Lodge continued to attack Wilson as hopelessly idealistic, assailing Wilson's [[Fourteen Points]] as unrealistic and weak. He contended that Germany needed to be militarily and economically crushed and saddled with harsh penalties so that it could never again be a threat to the stability of Europe. However, apart from policy differences, even before the end of Wilson's first term and well before America's entry into the Great War, Lodge confided to Teddy Roosevelt, "I never expected to hate anyone in politics with the hatred I feel toward Wilson."<ref name=Berg>{{cite book|last=Berg|first=A.

He served as chairman of the [[United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations|Senate Foreign Relations Committee]] (1919–1924). He also served as chairman of the [[Senate Republican Conference]] from 1918 to 1924. His leadership of the Senate Republicans has led some to retrospectively call him the de facto [[Party leaders of the United States Senate|Senate Majority Leader]].<ref name="USS19aug2017">{{cite web|title=Henry Cabot Lodge Senate Leader, Presidential Foe |url=https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/People_Leaders_Lodge.htm |website=United States Senate |access-date=August 19, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170819233520/https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/People_Leaders_Lodge.htm|archive-date=August 19, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> During his term in office, he and another powerful senator, [[Albert J.

===League of Nations===
{{main|Lodge Reservations}}
[[File:Refusing to give the lady a seat - Rollin Kirby Trim.jpg|thumb|right|"Refusing to give the lady a seat"<br />Cartoon by [[Rollin Kirby]] mocking senators [[William Borah|Borah]], Lodge, and [[Hiram Johnson|Johnson]] for their opposition to the [[Treaty of Versailles]] {{circa}} 1919–1920]]
In 1919, as the unofficial Senate majority leader, Lodge dealt with the debate over the [[Treaty of Versailles]] and the Senate's ultimate rejection of the treaty. Lodge wanted to join the [[League of Nations]], but with amendments that would protect American [[sovereignty]].

Lodge appealed to the [[patriotism]] of American citizens by objecting to what he saw as the weakening of national sovereignty: "I have loved but one flag and I can not share that devotion and give affection to the mongrel banner invented for a league." Lodge was reluctant to involve the United States in world affairs in anything less than a pre-eminent role:

<blockquote>The United States is the world's best hope, but if you fetter her in the interests and quarrels of other nations, if you tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you will destroy her power for good, and endanger her very existence. Leave her to march freely through the centuries to come, as in the years that have gone. Strong, generous, and confident, she has nobly served mankind. Beware how you trifle with your marvelous inheritance; this great land of ordered liberty. For if we stumble and fall, freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Treaty of Versailles: American Opinion |last=Lodge |first=Henry Cabot |chapter=Speech of Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator from Massachusetts In the Senate, August 12, 1919 |page=33 |date=1919 |location=Boston |publisher=Old Colony Trust Company |chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/treatyofversaill00oldc/page/33/mode/1up}}</ref></blockquote>

Lodge was also motivated by political concerns; he strongly disliked Wilson personally{{Sfn|Brands|2008|loc=part 3 at 0:00}} and was eager to find an issue for the Republican Party to run on [[1920 United States presidential election|in the presidential election of 1920]].

Lodge's key objection to the League of Nations was [[Article X of the Covenant of the League of Nations|Article X]], which required all signatory nations to repel aggression of any kind if ordered to do so by the League. Lodge rejected an open-ended commitment that might subordinate the national security interests of the United States to the demands of the League. He especially insisted that Congress must approve interventions individually; the Senate could not, through treaty, unilaterally agree to enter hypothetical conflicts.

The Senate was divided into a "crazy-quilt" of positions on the Versailles question.<ref>John Milton Cooper, ''Woodrow Wilson'' (2009) 507–560</ref> One block of Democrats strongly supported the Treaty. A second group of Democrats, in line with President Wilson, supported the Treaty and opposed any amendments or reservations.<ref name="AmExper"/> The largest bloc, led by Lodge, comprised a majority of the Republicans. They supported a Treaty with reservations, especially on Article X.<ref>David Mervin, "Henry Cabot Lodge and the League of Nations." ''Journal of American Studies'' 4#2 (1971): 201-214.</ref> Finally, a bi-partisan group of 13 isolationist "irreconcilables" opposed a treaty in any form.

It proved possible to build a majority coalition, but impossible to build a two thirds coalition that was needed to pass a treaty.<ref>Thomas A. Bailey, ''Woodrow Wilson and the Great Betrayal'' (1945)</ref> The closest the Treaty came to passage was in mid-November 1919, when Lodge and his Republicans formed a coalition with the pro-Treaty Democrats, and were close to a two-thirds majority for a Treaty with reservations, but Wilson rejected this compromise.<ref name="AmExper"/>

Cooper and Bailey suggest that Wilson's [[stroke]] on September 25, 1919, had so altered his personality that he was unable to effectively negotiate with Lodge. Cooper says the psychological effects of a stroke were profound: "Wilson's emotions were unbalanced, and his judgment was warped. ... Worse, his denial of illness and limitations was starting to border on [[delusion]]."<ref>Cooper, ''Woodrow Wilson,'' 544, 557–560; Bailey calls Wilson's rejection, "The Supreme Infanticide," ''Woodrow Wilson and the Great Betrayal'' (1945) p. 271</ref>

The Treaty of Versailles went into effect, but the United States did not sign it and made separate peace with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The United States never joined the League of Nations.<ref name="AmExper"/> Historians agree that the League was ineffective in dealing with major issues, but they debate whether American membership would have made much difference.<ref>{{cite book|author=Edward C.

Lodge won a posthumous victory in the long run; his reservations were incorporated into the United Nations charter in 1945, with Article X of the League of Nations charter absent and the U.S., as a permanent member of the [[United Nations Security Council]], given an absolute veto.<ref name=":0">Leo Gross,  "The Charter of the United Nations and the Lodge Reservations."

===Obstruction of Wilson's appointments===
In January 1921, Lodge led the deliberate obstruction of the confirmation of 10,000 of President Wilson's appointments to the War and Navy Departments in the U.S. Senate on the grounds that confirmation of these so-called cabinet "favorite" appointments would embarrass the Harding Administration.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045433/1921-01-19/ed-1/seq-1/ |title=The Washington Herald January 19, 1921 p.1 |access-date=January 19, 2021 |archive-date=April 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220415200243/https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045433/1921-01-19/ed-1/seq-1/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Washington Naval Conference ===
In 1922, President Warren G. Harding appointed Lodge as a delegate to the [[Washington Naval Conference]] (International Conference on the Limitation of Armaments), led by Secretary of State [[Charles Evans Hughes]], and included [[Elihu Root]] and [[Oscar Underwood]]. This was the first disarmament conference in history and had a goal of world peace through arms reduction. Attended by nine nations, the United States, [[Japan]], [[China]], [[France]], [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]], [[Italy]], [[Belgium]], the [[Netherlands]], and [[Portugal]], the conference resulted in three major treaties: [[Four-Power Treaty]], Five-Power Treaty (more commonly known as the [[Washington Naval Treaty]]), and the [[Nine-Power Treaty]], as well as a number of smaller agreements.<ref>Raymond Leslie Buell, [https://archive.org/details/cu31924007479607 <!-- quote=Lodge. --> ''The Washington Conference''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230417212923/https://books.google.com/books?id=A-02AQAAMAAJ&q=Lodge#v=snippet&q=Lodge&f=false|date=April 17, 2023}} (D.

===Lodge–Fish Resolution===
In June 1922, he introduced the [[Lodge–Fish Resolution]], to illustrate American support for the British policy in Palestine per the 1917 [[Balfour Declaration]].
