SENATE PRESIDENCY 
Practical Politics Maps Out the Future of 
James F. Shaw of Manchester 
In its last issue Practical Politics 
maps out a most brilliant future for 
Manchester’s Senator-to-be, James F. 
Shaw, in the following article : 
“James F. Shaw, who is now prac- 
tically certain of the nomination for 
Senator in the Third Essex district, 
was a recent visitor to Haverhill, and 
he received the glad hand on all sides. 
The son is fully as popular in this 
eooty as his father, ex-State Treas- 
urer E. P. Shaw, who served in the 
State Senate once from the Fourth 
Essex district. 
“Tt was the first visit of the Man- 
chester senatorial candidate to Haver- 
hill for some time, and his brief trip 
started general political gossip, not the 
least of which was the unconfirmed 
rumor that he intended smoothing the 
way for Inspector of Buildings Robert 
H. Mitchell by inducing Mayor Wood 
not to run for a third term. 
“There was also the report, that 
spread rapidly, that James F’., as soon 
as he completed one term in the Sen- 
ate, intended to enter the lists to suc- 
ceed Cong. Gardner. This, however, 
is not for the near future, as Haverhill 
friends of the young street railway 
magnate have just learned that his 
ambition is to eventually become pres- 
ident of the Senate. 
“It is accepted for a fact that, 
having secured the nomination without 
opposition in the Gloucester-Newbury- 
port district, Mr. Shaw will receive a 
second term. President Dana of the 
State Senate is understood to be will- 
ing to retire after serving two terms 
as the presiding officer, so that, after 
serving one year, the Manchester

senator-to-be will be thoroughly versed 
in parliamentary laws and _ eligible, 
when he begins his second term, for 
the presidency of the upper branch of 
the State legislature. 
‘“*Mr. Shaw will, if he secures the 
presidency, be in line for a third term 
as Senator, as it is customary for a 
Senator to have the presidency for 
two years. This would keep the 
Manchester man at the State House 
until 1908, and by that time Gardner 
will have completed another term in 
Congress. 
‘ With a presidential election on in 
1908, the friends of the junior Shaw 
figure it out that he will possess suffi- 
cient qualities and enough statesman- 
ship to aspire to go to Congress, and 
already they are predicting that with 
the strength he showed in winning his 
senatorial nomination, he will become 
a formidable opponent if Congressman 
Gardner should decide to ask for still 
another term at that time. 
“This is indeed a program. And 
after that the speakership of the 
national house, mayhap; and then, 
if Massachusetts becomes a doubtful 
State, as it might by that time — who 
knows — the young Napoleon of street 
railways for the White House. How- 
ever, for the present, one thing at a 
time. It is the Senate fight that is 
now on. 
“ Those who figure on Republicans 
deserting Shaw point to the great 
congressional fight three years ago, 
when Samuel Rhodes of Marblehead, 
the Democratic candidaee, received 
so many Republican votes as to almost 
shake A. P. Gardner’s grasp on the 
district.”’
