Lodge congratulates Kennedy as Nixon concedes race
At Republican headquarters Henry Cabot Lodge praised Kennedy's campaign and said Kennedy should be elected if trends continue. Lodge, calling himself a private citizen, said he plans no political run and would consider a Caribbean island with his wife if defeated. He urged bipartisan support for a strong American stance against Communists. The ballroom was largely empty as he spoke.
