Frye, of Maine, who was president pro tempore. Tho Senate has been unable to elect a successor. A sort of compromise was reached, however, shortly before Con gress recently adjourned, whereby it 1 j i, . i . Jil r, ii , ; . ,. ,1 brm of ! . : .tue Senator from New Hampshire having already served his time, Sen ator Bacon falls heir to the gavel until next March. Senator Bacon is one of tho best known old linc Democrats in the Sen ate and has wide influence.
