Who Should Be Speaker and Who Assistant Clerk of the House of Repre-
 sentatives.
IS J. A. PEASLEY AHEAD ?
J. 0, Howc's Friends Don't Think So-- Dr. Knight, Judge Banks Malone and Parker In Pursuit of
 Spcokcrship.

The Waterbury American of last sort and another filters down from the Norfolk hills, where Congressman that is and Governor r-That-is-to- Lllley entertained his faithful followers over sunday The house party went up to Norfolk to rest, so of course the time was spent talking politics. Great game politics. As John Hurley once remark ed, You play lot of games for the sport of it, but when you play politics you play to win"
 One of the things which seems to have excited considerable discussion was the race for the assistant clerk ship of the house of representatives. Waterbury has two aspirants for this position They are J Olin Howe, for some time secretary to Congressman Lllley, and a well-known newspaper man, and Attorney James A Peasley, brother of Deputy Judge Peasey. Oth- CT candidates are Sabin Russell of Dayville. son Of the late Congressman Russell and Charles w. Cramer of Portland. It's a pleasant job. this as.- sistant clerkship for 1t starts off with s1,2O0 per year, plus several appoint Iments and appropriations and things, and naturally leads up through the grades of clerk, clerk of the senate. clerk of bills and expressing clerk. with the salary jumping at every pro- motion. Harold R. Durant won the as- sistant clerkship four years ago after one of the most energetic canvasses ever conducted,
 Howc's Friends Say Not,
 Mir Howe's friends assert that while Representative Goodrich Is probably for Mir. Peasley, Representative Hayes Is for Mir Howe. Mir. Hayes Is now on the high seas making for Europe so that question cant be settled. The governor-elect Is for Mir. Howe. So is Gov. Woodruff and go Is Collector Robert O. Eaton, who used to be deputy dairy commissioner and there- fore knows q lot about politics. Mir. Cramer who Is judge of probate In | !

 The Spcakcrship.
 The speakership also came in for lanimated discussion at Norfolk, al- though they do say the governor elect fled when the subject came around every half hour There arc four candidates. One of them is Dr George II Knight of Salisbury. an other Is Judge Fillmore S. Banks oi 1 Fairfield, who has been after the place for four years. third is Judge Malone of Bristol and the fourth is Francis II Parker Of Hartford, the former United States district attorney.

possible to hope for success by the mere
multiplication Of hospitals and sana

of the disease, better homes, better sani-

about the reform"
This is not the first time that the edu.

Thus IL another blow struck at the
"local option" principle the Republican
party is pledged in this legislature to
maintain. The option now presented
to town Is, Vote for license if you
want to, If you do, we will fine you for
II. If YOU vote for no license, you can
have share Of the money the license
towns pay"
Little BY little the prohibitionists
are getting in their work in the modi-
fcation Of this law And the Republi-
can party keeps right on promising to
maintain local option and then let

pleasure with it. Pretty soon this plat.

The mildness of the epidemic of small
pox in Brattleboro ia indicated by the
fact that although the disease has been
running for many Weeks and among some
rs patients, the first death occurred from
it this week. The victim was a mere
infant, whose powers of resistance pre-
sented slight opposition to the disease.
in fact, the very mildness Of the form
has been a hindrance to more prompt
checking of the epidemic, as its contagiOn
was underestimated both by the patients
and BY those who foolishly allowed them
selves TO mingle with the patients.
