the naval affairs committee.
AS the Maine Democrats, controlling a
Legislature, have an opportunity, the
first in many years, to enact state legisla-
ton along Democratic lines, their
achievements will be watched by their
Democratic brethren in Washington. Di-
rect primaries are one Of the Democratic
slogans in Congress, because the Demo-
Gratis quite generally favor the nOmina-
ton both of senators and representatives
by primary vote No such nominations
have yet been made in New England, al
though there is some probability tht the
Massachusetts Legislature will adopt
some direct nominations provision this
winter
The impression grows here that Repre-
sentative-elect ID. j. McGillicuddy of the
"a Maine District will be given one of
the II Democratic places on the ways
and means committee when the Demo
cratic caucus assemblies here in a little
more than two weeks. Speaker-to-be
Champ Clark is understood to favor Mr..
McGillicuddy over Representative An
drew j. Peters of Boston and it is be-
lieved that Mr. McGillicuddy's name, at
least, will go upon the caucus slate If
the I'd District Democrat goes upon the
ways and means committee he will have
an excellent opportunity for service of
some distinction.
There is nothing to indicate yet what
committee places Representative-elect
Gould of the Sd Maine District will likely
receive. The Democratic caucus will
probably select only members of the
ways and means committee and the other
places will be left till next year when
the new Congress assemblies.

BIG GAME SHIPMENTS
BY the Way Of Bangor This Year
Nearly Equals the Record.

Bangor, Me-. Dec 30.--Game ship
nents from stations along the line Of
the Bangor & Aroostook for the Is
closing days Of the big game season
have just been received at the main
Offices OF the 3. & A. in this city and
they total 1865 deer So moose and nine
bears. Adding this total to those of
October and November, gives a grand
result for the season Of 1906 deer, 1872
moose and 10 bears
The 3. & AS. shipments for the sea-
son are nearly equal to those of the
record year of 1905, when 1854 deer,
2O1 moose and SO bears were shipped
out of the up-river game regions, the
deer shipments being just % less, the
moose 10, and the bears 25. For pur-
poses of comparison, however, the
shipments Of the seasons of 1905 and
1910 are practically the same. The
season Of 1902 stands third with a
total of 4495 deer and ga moose. That
season there were no bear shipments
Bruin being protected by law at that
time.
A resume of the different totals from

follows: October. 1225 deer, Sc moose, =

DEADLOCK EXPECTED
In EIecting Successor to Senator Aid
rich of Rhode Island.

Providence, r. L., Dec. 30.-That a
deadlock will be the result of the Leg
islature's attempt to elect a United
States senator to succeed Nelson w.
Aldrich, or that a compromise candi-
date will be chosen is the latest opin-
ions of experienced political prognosti-
Gators. With the opening of the Cen
eral Assembly only a few days away,
the senatorial situation remains at
practically the same stage as 1t was
several weeks ago. The two factions
of the Republican party are working
quietly but desperately for the election
CT their respective candidates, the
state committee and ''protectionists'
using their efforts to elect Henry r.
Lippitt, a wealthy textile manufacture
err, who is the choice OF Senator Aid
rich and the independent element do
ing their utmost to send Judge lie
Baron b. Colt of the United States
circuit court of appeals and brother
of Colonel Samuel p. Colt, president
of the United States Rubber Co, to
Washington.
The Democrats, with a strong minority
in the Legislature, are without an avow-
ed senatorial candidate. for although the
party has pledged it's support to Judge
Arthur l.. Brown of the United States
circuit court he has never consented to
be a candidate and it is believed by many
that he will soon come out with a state
ment declining the office. In this event
the chances of Judge Colt being elected
would be greatly strengthened. as the
Democrats largely prefer Colt to Lippitt.
The Legislature will convene next Tues
day The vote for senator will begin

Miss Scott knows an Overland. She
appreciated the fact OF its simplicity
and reputation for reliability. She
knew that she could go from the At
lantic 70 the Pacific without male as
sistance. and that the trip in such a
car would be a pleasure instead OF a
hardship. Her trip is one only of
pleasure. AS she says:

less westward dash, but a most en-
joyable trip over Gods own land. the
