Guernsey Thinks Maine VIII Keep Fem
Cenwressmen.

Hon. Frank r. Guernsey Of Dover
representative In Congress of the
fourth district OF Maine. WAS recent
~ interviewed concerning Congress
sionD matters.
As TO matters likely to come be-
fore Congress at the session begin
ming December 6. Mr.. Guernsey said
that he expects the introduction and
debate of a bill providing for a par
cells post. at least for rural districts
served by r. F d. lines. there being
a general demand for such legislation,
especially In the west. Maine farm
ers and others living In the rural
regions are also anxious for a par
GELS post. and have Joined with other
sections of the country in sending
avalanches of petitions to members
of Congress asking for the service.
A ship subsidy bill, also. will
probably come up at this session and
1t will have strong support, President
Taft's attitude in favor of some such
measure having brought many to re-
gard 1t favorably who have hereto
fore opposed the measure or treated
it with Indifference.
AS to whether or not Maine is like
ly to lose one of her seats in Con-
gress at the apportionment based
upon the census about to be taken,
Mr.. Guernsey believes that there Is a
strong fighting chance of the States
representation remaining undimin-
ished. The apportionment will be
made, probably, one year from this
