The usual exodus followed Fridays
| session. and in the afternoon few
members were at the Capitol. The
halls and corridors took on their de-
serted appearance and the reign of
quiet began that will continue till
| Monday afternoon, when the rush and
hustle will begin again. The usual
great majority Of members and Off
Gals pass Sunday at their homes.

| noon. Speaker Larrabee went to Port
| land to attend the Lincoln banquet,

| meeting. today. Governor Powers went
| to Portland. Thursday afternoon, and

The proposed caucus law is being
considerably talked about, and may be
an interesting theme for committee
discussion and session debate, later.
AS the result of an order the judiciary
committee appointed a sub committee
to draw up a bill regulating party
caucuses. Senator Drummond of the
subcommittee has drafted such a bill
and copies have been sent to the chair
men of the city committees for sug-
gestions. Portland is the only Maine
city with any system of controlling
caucuses. 1t is understood that the
main feature of the proposed law is
that it makes the city committee of
every party in city. returning
board before which all voters of that
party must declare their party prefer
ance, the list thus obtained to be used
as a check list at every caucus. The
lay will probably apply only to places
with population of 1000 or over.
Five large crayon portraits of eN-
Governor Cleaves and Payson Tucker.
