Representative Harry +. Walton, Of
Philadelphia, is in the field as candidate
for speaker of the next house. He will
have the solid support of the Philadelphia
delegation, as he had two years ago in his
fight against c. c. Thompson, of War
ren. In addition to Philadelphia's thirty
nine voters, it is said Mr.. Walton has a
number of pledges from the country dis
tricts. He also expects TO get the solid
vote Of the Allegheny delegation. At pres
ent everything points to his election. 1t
Is probable that the election of Mr.. Wal
ton as speaker will result in the coun-
try capturing the chief clerkship of the
house. That position is now held by
Charles Il. Voorhees,. A. d. Fetterolf, of
Montgomery, apparently leads; but there
are combinations which may yet throw
the chief clerkship to Fred w. Fleitz.
