Committee Gossip
Assuming that Senator Percival p
Baxter of Cumberland is elected presi-
dent of the Senate. it is the general
Impression that Senator Charles f.
Quincy of Cumberland will be named
as chairman of the judiciary commit
tee. 1t would also be natural that
Senator'S George w Thombs of Pc
nobscot and Edward r. Parent of An
droscoggin would be the other two
members of this committee on the
part of the upper branch as both
are members of the present COM
! mittee on legal affairs.
At the last session, Representative
Charles z. Barnes of Houlton, who
will undoubtedly be chosen speaker
was the House chairman of the Judi
ciary committee. The craftsmanship
on the part of the House at this ses-
sion would be between Representatives
Benedict F. Maher of Augusta, Hodg-
don c. Buzzell of Belfast and Harold
II. Murchie Of Calais, who are now
members of this committee and who
will be members of the coming Legis-
lature.
All the members Of the present COM
mittee on legal affairs on the part of
the Senate. Senators, George W.
Thombs of Lincoln, Charles e. Quincy
of Cumberland and Edward r. Parent
of AnGroscoggin, were Reelected 1t
is thought that if these senators go
on the judiciary committee that Sen
ator 5'Gtrick II. Gillin of Penobscot
would he made chairman of the COM
mittee OH legal affairs and that either
Senators Frank G. Harrington of Ken
coggin, or Rodney I. Thompson of
Knox might be named for places on
this legal committee. Four members
of the committee on legal affairs on
the part Of the House will be members
of the coming Legislature, Representa-
tives Fl ederick w. Hinckley of South
Portland. John T. Pagan of Portland.
Stetson H. Hussey of Blaine and Fred
l.. Mason of Ellsworth.
The chairman Of the present commit
tee on agriculture. Senator Leander
E. futile of Aroostook, WAS reelected
and he will doubtless again be re-
apopintej to the chairmanship Of this
committee. One other member of the
committee on the part of the upper
branch, Senator George H. Babb of
Cumberland, was also reelected. OF
the House members of this commit
tee. Representative John II. Austin of
South Berwick is the only rS,e to be
returned. -
Senator belmont Emerson of Aroos-
took is the only member of the COM
mittee on appropriations and financial
affairs on the part of the Senate to be
returned. and it would not be surpris-
INC, ~ he were a gail made chairman of
