CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD.
Those Who Are Seeking the Patronage
 Of the General Assembly,

Of the General Assembly.
 There is quite number of candi- dates for the offices to be filled i'll both houses of the. general assembly and the senators and representatives have received d large number of applica- tions. In accordance with the estab lished rule Frank E. Healy, who was clerk of the house in 1899, will become lated in 1S07 when Samuel 4. Eddy was appointed clerk of the senate over George A. Kellogg, who had served as clerk of the house in the previous ses- sion. It is not likely that anything will occur to keep Mir Healy out of the senate clerkship, nor does there seem to be any indication that his assistant of two years ago, George E. Hinman of Willimahtic, will experience any difficulty in reaching the clerksh1p to which he is entitled.
 The contest will be over the assist ant clerkship. There are five candi- dates in the field They are: Edwin w. Higgins. of Norwich; Alfred c. Baldwin, of Derby; Edwin s. Agard. of Holland; Leonard J. Collins, of Un- lonVllle but who practices law in i N-''Ni' 'tlAi | llCu IIOIllpN, New Britain. The latter is the only one or the candidates who is not law yer. Mir Higgins was Currie Gilmor1r-s colleague in the representation of the town Of Norwich in the last general assembly. He was q strong Mclean man before the republican state con. Ventlon. and he is n member of the state central committee. Two years ago Mr Higgins was member of the ijudlclary committee. Mir Baldwin has 1 tried before-perhaps twice-to secure i the coveted position. MT Bromley is q prominent worker ill the ranks of the | thr1stian EndeavOr society. He was "andldate two years ago.
 mere are two candidates for the chaDlaincy of the house. They are the Key Edward s. Ferry of the South { Park Methodist church of Hartford and the Rev George r. Waters. Con. | ®ational. of Glastonbury. A mem
 Der of the house stated this mOrnino ! mat the representatives of the coun try towns in the neighhorhood of Hart ! ford are insisting that the chaDlaincy belongs to them. and that Hartford has had it long enough. Before tho time of trolley lines and when it wa, net as easy to reach Hartford as if i, i now, there was a substantial rpaSO1
 why the chaplains of the house ant senate should be selected from the clcr
 @ymen residing in Hartford This req
 son, the country representatives say
 no longer exists. The last chaplain O the house was the Rev Clarence II
 Barbour of Manchester and it has beer
 suggested that the country representa-
 l!Ves would do graceful thing i
 they allow the chaplaincy to go t
 Hartford this year. AIr Barbour. it i
 understood. is a candidate for chaDlai1
 of the senate. If his candidacy is sue
 cesSfui, and the representatives iron
 the country towns insist on c0untr, clergyman being appointed chaplain O
 the house, both chaplains of the gene1
 al assembly will be from the country
 Manchester, for the purpose of classi tication. being considered a countr town.
