The 1919 Senate Presidency

Although the legislative session of
1919 IS two years away two members
of the present Senate are understood
to be candidates for the Presidency of
that body. They are Senator Frank d.
Marshal of Cumberland and Senator
Leon F. Higgins of Penobscot.
These announcements, of course, are
based upon three contingencies, the
first that they are nominated in the
Republican primaries, the second that
they are elected in September 1918,
and the third, that the Senate of 1919
is a Republican body.
This piece of political gossip was
heard during the brief afternoon ses-
SION of the Senate Friday and con-
firmed by a newspaperman.
