WHEN JOHNSON HELPED FRYE
New Maine Senator Was Hotel Clerk
and Found Quarters fer the
Statesman.

When Senator Charlie Johnson
Of Maine took the arm of his
feeble Republican colleague the
other day in the senate and
marched up to the clerks desk
there was In his mind the thought OF
another meeting between them years
ago. The new Democratic senator told
about 1t afterward when seated in his
large Office across the way from the
Capitol.
In his earlier days just as he was
getting through college johnson taught
school. He was home from term OF
teaching and over at Waterville met
Jim Withee of the old Elmwood hotel
Want a job, Charlie?" said Jim.
Il certainly do was the reply.
We'll. need a night clerk at the
Elmwood. Come over and try it,
which the future senator did. He hat
been on the job but few days wher
the late evening train brought a Grove
Of guests. Some pushed to the from
and got the best available rooms, and
when William P. Frye signed his name
there were no good quarters left.
"Awfully sorry, senator" said Night
Clerk Charlie Johnson. I'VE have nc
rooms such as you ought to have
There's suite, however, which we
keep reserved for the proprietor oi
the wooden mills. believe I'll take
chance on putting you in there"
And so 1t came about that the fu
ture Democratic senator from Maine
gave his future Republican colleague
the best quarters in the house.-Bos
