Local Representatives Fare Well on
Committees.
CONCORD, N. H.
Jan. IA, '0l.
Here is the way an expert poker player
describes the little senatorial game recent
" played in this state: "When the cards
were dealt for the senatorial Jackpot at the
caucu,es last tall Chandler skinned his
hand and thought it was too weak to stay
in on. But a fellow who was looking over
his shoulder nudged him not to throw
away his cards and he didn't. Presently
Burnbam opened the pot in kind OF half
sfraid-to way that made Ch.ndler raise him
before they drew for cards. Baker, who
had bcen buying chips TOR quite while
and was desperate, raised them both. Sal
loway wa, way ahead on the game, so he
STAYED. Qaiaby was in it for experience
more tbsn anything else, so he stayed.
Blair was shy lot of chips but the rest let
HIM in on sutf4rance. Last week they drew
cards. Burnham opened On kings and
Uncle John Sanborn dealt him three aces,
off the bottom Of the pack. some say.
Chandler had four of Straight, drew one
card and never 10, ked at it until the show
down. Baker held up tour diamonds and
the dealer gave him another red card, but
if was heart. SuloEay and Quinby did
not better their hands. Blair drew five
cards and got ace high. Ali hands bluffed
along for week until last Thursday when
all the chips in the house were in the mid
die of the table. Then Burnham showed
bis cards and it was all over. The kitty
was for Oliver Pelren OF the Eagla hotel
and was worth something like $780,"
In less technical phraseclogy the repub
icans Of the New Hampshire Legislature
had caucus lsst Thursday evening to
nominate a candidate for United States
senate. Out OF 1924 entitled to be present
800 we're there. There were no nomina-
ting speeches and one ballot did the bust
ness. The standing was: Burnbam, 1913 !;
Chandler Az Baker, 70; Subway, % !;
Quinby, %; Blair, /. Mr.. Batchelder OF
keene presided; the tellers were Senator

Hart of Milton, Collins of Ma lboro and
Lampr3y OF Tuttonboro The nomination
was made unanimous on motion of Ander-
son of Portsmouth in behalf Of Chandler ;
Burroughs OF Bow in behalf of Baker :;
Bicktord OF Manchester in behalf OF Sullo-
way and Senator Bean OF Belmont in be-
halt Of Quinby. Judge Burnbam was mott
fed OF his nomination by o committee made
up of N ason of Dover, Collins of MARI
boro and Senator Shontell of Manchester.
The successful can iidate made brief but
Enthusiastically eloquent speech OF &C
ceptance and the caucus adjourned, having
, been in session little over an hour. Then
the victors celebrated until the bars were
dped.
The result was more or less of a surprise
| to everybody except few in the inner cir
