GOSSIP REGARDING SUCCESSOR
OF CHAIRMAN LYMAN H. NELSON

Portland Me-. May 3.-Who vii!
succeed Hon. Lyman H. Nelson Of
this City, as member Of the Maine
State Highway Commission. is a
question that is agitating good roads
advocates in every section Of Maine
today. So far only one candidate for
the position has announced himself. J.
w. Greedy. Of Portland, but a dozen
others are being considered all over
the State.
1t is generally conceded that the APP
pointment will be Democrat and ac-
cepting this view of the matter senti-
n.ent seems to be crystalizing to a
great extent on Hon. Frank A. Pea
body Of Houlton. Mr.. Peabody was 4
member of Governor Frederick w.
Plaisted's Council and is also chair
man Of the Board of Selectmen of
Houlton. He is good roads man and
has a record for integrity and gooi
business judgment. Good roads ad-
vocates are very DESTROYS of getting
a man for the position who will main
tain the present position of the Com
mission that politics shall not be al
lowed to enter into highway work Oh
the personnel of the employees of the
Commission in the slightest degree.
It is believed that Mr.. Peabody fills
these requirements.
Were the administration Republi-
can it is believed that sentiment, so
far as good roads advocates are con-
cerned would be for Prof. George T..

one of the oldest good roads men III

Demonstrations Expected
AS Italy has made extensive military
preparations and orders for war supplies
the expected public appearance OF King
Victor Emmanuel at the Garibaldi cele-

the decision is now only a matter OF

If Italy should enter the war, it is I'M
