Seeee@eePGardner.of Hamilton, nite word has been received from Moving pictures and Mrs. Marie 
Mass., congressman from the old Es- 
sex district of Massachusetts, Wed- 
nesday resigned as a member of the 
House to become a reserve officer in 
the United States Army. The an- 
nouncement of the resignation of Mr. 
Gardner, the first member of Con- 
gress to answer the call of his coun- 
try, was read by the clerk of the 
House when the House assembled that 
morning. "The House as a whole was 
surprised, but the intimate friends of 
the congressman, who was a leading 
advocate of compulsory military ser- 
vice, had been expecting such an an- 
nouncement for several days. 
Congressman Gardner was a mem- 
ber of the old Officers’ Reserve Corps 
with the rank of colonel. Under the 
more recent legislation, all members 
of the old corps were taken into the 
new establishment. They were obliged 
only to take physical and mental ex- 
The congressman passed 
both tests and received a commission 
as colonel in the new corps. Yester- 
he received orders to report for active 
duty at Charleston, the headquarters 
of General Leonard Wood. As a re- 
Governor McCall, it is believed here 
that the governor will not issue a call 
immediately for a special election in 
Mr. Gardner’s district. Secretary 
Lufkin will be in charge of the office 
for the time being. If a special elec- 
tion should be held, it is possible that 
Mr. Lufkin will be a candidate. 
Before leaving for Charleston the 
congressman will go to Hamilton for 
a few days if time permits. Several 
important business affairs there com- 
mand his attention. Mrs. Gardner 
plans to stay in Washington for a 
month or so. When summer arrives 
she probably will go to the home of 
her father, Senator Henry Cabot 
Lodge, at Nahant. Senator Lodge is 
said to have remarked - facetiously 
when his son-in-law told him that he 
had resigned: “There, you have talk- 
ed yourself out of a job.” 
Mr. Gardner has done as much as 
any member of Congress in recent 
years to emphasize the necessity of an 
adequate preparedness and to point 
out the weakness of our army and 
navy.
