Beedey May Pass
Up Congress Berth
for Lecture Work

Portland, July 7-Persistent rumor,
which is being given considerable
credence among leading Republicans,
is that Congressman Carroll L. Beedy
has made definite arrangements to
retire from the political arena and
will not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton upon the expiration of his pres
ent term of office. March 4, 1924.
This report, which has been circu-
lated quite freely during the past few
weeks, has been given added impetus
in the last day or two by open dis
cussion of the situation by men high
in the councils of the Republican
party in the State who apparently
feel that the report is so well found
cd that the possibility of providing a
successor to Congressman Beedy
should be seriously considered. 1t
is said that the lure of the lee
ture platform is the agency which
is responsible for Congressman
Beedy's forsaking his congressional
position and the brilliant future
which the field Of craftsmanship un-
doubtedly holds for him. A long
term contract from one Of the most
prominent Chautauqua companies,
carrying with it the sum of 5000 a
night, is said to be a prime factor in
the Portland mans projected retire.
ment from public life.
In the discussions which the situa-
ton has received during the past few
days among we'll known Maine Re-
publicans regarding a successor to
Mr.. Beedy, should the rumor prove
to be fact, the name of Governor
Baxter seems to have received con-
siderable attention.
AS the matter stands now the State
leaders are anxiously awaiting the
return Of Congressman Beedy from
his European tour in order that he
may either substantiate the report or
deny it.
