Massachusetts Congressman, Whe Will Succeed Secretary Long, Is a Man of Affairs, Mr. Moody’s selection for the post of secretary of the navy was the out- come of an interesting contest. There were no less than half a dozen ap- plicants, but the struggle finally nar- | rowed down to the two representa- tives of congress—Mr. Foss, of Illi- nois, chairman of the naval commit- tee of the house, who had the ener- getic support of his western col- } leagues, and Mr. Moody, for whom Senator Lodge and others made a | winning fight. It was for a time in doubt whether Mr. Moody would not WILLIAM H. MOODY. tts Statesman Who Will Be Secretary of the Navy.) be placed in some important foreign | mission, rather than in the navy de- partment, but he preferred to stay |at home. | The biographical notice of the new |secretary, contained in the Congres- | sional Record, is very meager, show- jing his political career in its barest outlines. But it appears that he is a man of affairs, and it is particularly gratifying for people interested in |the navy to know that he brings to |his new post a mind of experience in governmental affairs, acquired | through his work for several years {on the appropriations committee of the house. Mr. Moody is a compara- tively young man, being in his forty- ninth year. He is a lawyer by pro- fession, being a graduate of Phillips’ academy, Andover, Mass., and Har- vard university. He has been district attorney for the eastern district of Massachusetts ana has served in the Fifty-fourth, Fifty-fifth, Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh congresses, being elected as a republican. He was bora in Newbury, Conn., but now resides at Haverhill, Mass. y is on the District of Co- committee of the house ap- propriations committee, and is in | that capacity well known and liked in Washington. A statement has been published in effect that Representative Moody, nominated to be secretary of the navy, is a relative of Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts. The fact is that Representative Moody is not in the remotest way connected with Senator Lodge by either marriage or blood. The two have been friends for very many years, both being graduates of Harvard university, where they were well scquainted tudents.
