quartet.

prescive ceremony of this. kind which
the Senate has seen in many years.
The eulogies We're largely by the older
and more prominent senator's. who
gladly improved the opportunity for
showing their appreciation for such a
capable man and desirable friend The
Maine Democratic senators both spoke
and their tributes to Senator Frye
were well spoken. Although disagree
ing with him in politics. they had
nothing but high praise for him in all
things else and helped swell the unan-
imous verdict that Senator Frye's ca
reer had reflected great credit upon
the State of Maine.
The eulogies will be printed In

the document room of the Senate. One
of the interested spectators at the
Senate ceremony was Representative
