As had been considered quite likely to
happen, the Maine legislature has spent
the first week of its session in deadlock.
The two houses have organized, and the
governor has been ipaugurated, but that
is practically all that has been accom-
plished. No state officers or executive
council have been elected, and the legis-
lature adjourned from Friday until
Tuesday.
In Joint convention the legislature
numbers OF Democrats, SO Republicans
and five Progressives, the Democrats
thus lacking a majority. In the course
Of three days, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, ten ballots were taken for secrs-
tary of state, without election. All
members were present, and the voting
was strictly on party lines, with very
few exceptions. Those exceptions were
that one mysterious and unknown Dem
oerat has part of the time voted for the
Republican candidate, and that one OF
the Progressives voted for the Repuoli-
can candidate once or twice, and finally
announced his intention of acting with
the Republicans regularly.
Meanwhile two contests for seats in
the house have been started by the Dem
ocratic candidates, in districts where a
Republican now holds the seat. One OF
these has been heard by the house COM
mittee on elections, and a report will
probably be made when the legislature
reassembles on Tuesday. IL the Demo
cratic candidates should be seated in this
and the other district, the Democrats
will probably have no difficulty in elect
ing their candidates for the state offices.
The two houses of the legislature duly
organized on Wednesday with all mem
beers present. The senate, which is COM
posed Of II Republicans and IA Demo.
Gratis, chose the following officers, all
Republicans:
Pres.-Ira G. Hersey. Houlton.
Sec.-william +. Lawry, Augusta.
Asst. Sec.-L. X. Thornton, Houlton.
Messenger-Charles II. Lovejoy. Sidney.
Folder-John Z. Taylor: skowhegan.
Postmaster-Arthur A. knight, Garland.
The house is composed of II Demo
Gratis, 80 Republicans, and FIVE Progress
ives. The following officers, all Demo
Gratis, were elected:
Speaker-Herbert W traitor, Fort Fairfield
Clerk-C. Y. harvey, r or
Asst. Clerk-Fortune Belleap, Lewiston.
Messeuger-James n. Rogers, Wilton.
Asst Messenger-rrank Z. Leonard. Lisbon
Postmaster-James A. MuldooD. Eastport.
