promise that he was quickly promoted to

place he filled for number OF years with
marked ability. When the Advertiser was
reoTganiZed he turned up in the manage
ment, and to-day is not only the prin-
cipal proprietor of the staid old daily, but
the principal proprietor OF the lively little
Rekid as well. In both positions he has
given an excellent account of himself, while
he has at the same time been actively en-
gagged ia politics. having been successfully
chosen TO the lower branch of the Legisla-
ture Tor term Of years. and having each
year capped the climax by securing the
SDeakership prize in spite OF the efforts of
some of the most astute and capable pOlti-
clans in the State. Mr.. Barrett is one of
the get there" men, be it in politics or bust
ness, and he has shown not a few of the
older heads point or two that had not
occurred TO them before. When he sets out
to achieve point you can bank upon his
getting there with about as much safety as
you can bank upon anything in this mum
dane sphere.
Iu the Senatorial fight both the friends
and opponents Of Mr.. Barrett concede that
unless he is reelected Speaker he cannot
enter the race for the Senatorial prize The
Speaker has OF course great advantage in
such a contest, for he controls important
patronage. Committee places are 10 be given
out and nlemb erS are looking for places
which are essential TO their success. The
opponents OF Mr.. Barrett are aware of this
advantage, and will seek to deprive him of
ii by bringing forward some one else for the
position OF Speaker.
MI Barrett was unanimously elected
Speaker last year, and as there is no doubt
OF his election to the House from his native
town OF MeTose If he desires reelection,
there is very little doubt of his reelection
as Speaker of the next Legislature-if he
desires it.
Governor Bracket was first named for
the House with this project in view, but
that plan has evidently been abandoned as
Mr.. Bennett of Everett Is now named for
the place. As Mr.. Bennett has not fully
agreed with his party upon questions of the
tariff, 1t Will be seen that this scheme is not
very promising one at the outset. Fur
thermore, Mr.. Bennett is handicapped by
the strong position he took last winter
against the endowment orders, and he can
look for sturdy opposition from that
quarter He is man of conceded ability
his integrity has never been questioned,
and he would make an efficient, fair and
honest Speaker, but his chances OF securing
an election are exceedingly slim.
These are some of the elements that will
go to make the fight over the SenatorShip
an unusually interesting ore. OtEer can
didates may be selected before the time to
vote comes. and we may have such men as
Ex-Governor John d. Long and Ex-Governor
George ID. Robinson, who have been In the
field before. But as it looks now the con-
test is practically confined to Messrs. Lodge
and Barrett.
