Excerpt from The Granite Monthly, Vol. 56: January, 1924 In New Hampshire, as in the other states of the Union, December interest centered in Congress and Christmas. The comparatively late arrival of real winter weather held back, somewhat, both wholesale and retail trade, but that reliable barometer, postoffice conditions, indicated an exchange of gifts as general as ever. While no large benefactions were anounced as Christmas gifts of this year, the city of Manchester made an acceptable present to the travelling public, as well as to its own people, by opening during the month the new bridge across the Merrimack river at the south end of the city. Congress The organization of Congress found New Hampshire retaining and gaining committee posts of importance, with Senator Moses on the Foreign Affairs committee in the upper branch and Congressman Rogers on the similar committee in the House; Congressman Wason continuing on Appropriations, with assignment to its sub-committee on Agriculture; and Senator Keyes on appropriations and several important committees in addition to his minor chairmanship. One of the first bills introduced in the new Congress was by Senator Keyes for the enlargement of the federal building at Manchester and for new buildings in several New Hampshire places. At the meeting of the Republican national committee in Washington during the month Fred W. Estabrook and Mrs. John G. M. Glessner of New Hampshire were named, respectively, on the committees on contests and on policies and platform. Another Candidate? The interesting development of the month in state politics was the request made by William E. Price of Lisbon of a large number of active Republicans, that they sign a pledge card assuring their support to Huntley N. Spaulding of Rochester as the gubernatorial candidate of the party in case he should enter the primary next September. Mr. Spaulding was at Pinehurst. N. C., when these requests were put in the mail, and at this writing he has not returned to New Hampshire or indicated his decision in the matter. City Elections In the municipal elections held since the previous issue of this magazine went to press the Republicans carried Keene, where Mayor Robert T. Kingsbury was elected without opposition, and Rochester; while the Democrats reelected Mayor Charles G. Waldron in Dover, and in Portsmouth, where Mayor Samuel T. Ladd declined another term, chose Orel E. Dexter in his place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
