Both branches of the Legislature
were in session but little over half an

measures was introduced in the House

afternoon and evening of Friday, Feb

House
In the House the Colby automobile

the Senate Donigan of Somerset tabled
his automobile bill when il came back
from the House referred to the COM
mittce on state lands and state roads
instead of to the WAYS and bridges
committee, as it was referred in the
Senate. The preliminary sparring for
position in regard 10 these two bills is
being watched with great deal of in
toreSt, particularly as the measure pre-
scented by Representative Colby OF
! Bingham is the one endorsed by the
master of the State Grange and by
the Legislative committee Of that or

The order introduced by Representa-

in the lower house and that tentative

upon.
The act to create a State board OF

author of the bill. Representative Deer

man on the hot-fOot to the Senate
chamber and after a hurried confer

ate reconsidered its action and refer

fairs than Senator WinsloW discover
ed that ii was really desired to send
the bin to the judiciary committee. So
at his request the Senate backed up

| bill received the proper endorsement
and will some day go before the COM

Maine men in the House continue to
work like Turks on that appointment
bill fey are aroused more than ever
since the decision OF the House Repub.
lican leaders to call a caucus. the pur-
pose If which undoubtedly is to cnrta.l
the representation or to prevent an ap-
rortionment law altogether at his ses-
sion of Congress. The outcome can not
De forecasted. for the contention is very
fierce. The New York Republicans are
at the bottom of the trouble. They
nope that the new assembly. 10 be elect
cd next year will have Republican
majority. which would prevent the DEM
ocrats from enacting a disadvantageous
redistrieting of the state.
Nearly all of the Maine Representa-
tives are interested in some minor bills
for their constituents and are trying to
get these through before the days Of the
session are at an end. If there should
be an extra session of Congress the new
Maine delegation would be called here
probably in March and would have to
expect a summer in Washington. The
old timers are not yet convinced that
there will be an extra session. but the
tariff ana other entanglements Of re-
cent days have caused some forebod.
ings on the part of those who viii be
members of the next Congress. The
prospects are that an extra session
will seem to be more and more in,n1f-
nent during the next two or three weeks
but that, as usually happens, Senate and
House will dispose of such volume OF
business after the middle of February
that there will be no need Of coming to-
gether again till next December.
The administration does not want to
crafty the Democrats by having an ex.
ira session that would enable that party
TO get the tariff out Of the way IN ad-
vance of the Presidential campaign.
Then the older members of Congress afo
always averse to putting In extra titne

CONGRESS MAY KEEP
ON UNTIL LATE FALL
No Certainty About An Early
Adjournment.

Washington, D. c., July 14.-There
has been much Senatorial talk of ad-
journment about August L. but
whether Congress will adjourn when
the Senate has voted on Canadian Re-
ciprocity, the Wool and Farmers Free
List bills, or will remain in session
into the fall, will, in the last analysis,
be decided by a caucus of Democrats
of the House.
No matter how anxious the Senate
may be to go home after it completes
the business directly in hand, it can
not do so, under the Constitution, I'M
less the House agrees. Neither branch
can adjourn for more than three days
without the consent of the other.
A difference of opinion on the ques-
ton of adjournment has arisen among
the Democrats of the House and
Chairman Oscar w. Underwood, of
the Ways and Means Committee, their
floor leader, will make no move until
he has been instructed by the parry
caucus.
Anxious for Party Record.
Among Senators, hot, tired and
weary of long-winded speeches, this
fact, when it become known, elected
almost a wall of anguish. Their Wis
ions of mountain and seashore began
to vanish. Behind it all is the belief
on the part of many House Demo-
Gratis that now is the time for their
party to make its tariff record, and
that no matter whether the Senate ac-
cepts or turns down the two tariff
bills already sent over by the House,
or whether the President Vetoes them
the House should stick to its legisla-
tive job until it has passed every i'm
portant tariff measure the leaders
have in hand in pursuance of the plan
Iof revision schedule by schedule.
These bills include the cotton, sugar
iron and steel, chemical and miscel-
laneous schedules of the Payne-Al-
drich law.
Representative Brantley, of Georgia
Kitchin, of North Carolina, and Hull
of Tennessee, are taking the lead in
advocacy of continuous session and
the passage of more tariff bills. Rep
resentative Ollie James, of Kentucky
is inclined to the same view Speaker
Clark has not yet expressed his opin-
ion.
q believe" said Mr.. Brantley ''that
the Democratic party should make its
tariff record now Next winter, When
appropriation bills and a great dea1
of important legislation along other
lines engage the attention of Congress
and the country, in my Judgment, viii
be a bad time to continue considera-
ton of tariff bills. Next winter thu
Senate will be able simply to push
our tariff bills aside and refuse tl
consider them at all 1t will have
plenty of cause, with all the big sup.
ply bills to consider"
