AN IMPENDING FIGHT IN LEGIs-
LATURE.

la Una
Announcement is made by the Nor
risvilIe News and Citizen that George
w. Clark has very generously decided
e. withdraw from the field as a Re-
publican candidate for representative in
Morristown and that Frederick G. Fleet
wood will be sent to represent the town.
The ostensibIe purpose Of sending him
Is to further Morristown's interests in
the claim to be put forward as the
place Of the county seat. Added to this
information is the statement that the
subscription of $4,000 for new county
buildings will very likely be subscribed
within short time. This, then, Is the
beginning Of strife between Morris
town, or rather, Morrisville, as the viii
Iage is known, and Hyde Park, which
has been the county seat SO long and
whose chances were jeopardized by a
recent fire which wiped out the county
buildings. Doubtless Hyde Park wiz
send its best man to champion the cause
Of community which is fighting for
part of its vital interests.
That being the case, the Vermont leg
islatnre may look forward to an in
volved discussion as to the relative mer-
its of the two communities. In fact, it
promises to be one Of the big contests
Of the 1910 session, for Hyde Park will
not surrender it's rights without 4 strug-
gle, and Morrisville has given indica-
tion Of collecting its ammunition well.
Mr.. Fleetwood had been mentioned as a
possible candidate for speaker Of the
House, in case the citizens there saw fit
to elect him; but in view Of the La
noble county seat fight, in which he
as representative must perforce have a
leading part, such course is out Of the
question, for to be speaker would be to
deprive him Of many Of the weapons
with which he will nave been armed
when elected as representative. As q
member on the floor he can do far more,
which probably eliminates him from the
speakership possibilities. Aside from
the distinct purpose with which he is
likely to 60 to the legislature, Mr.. Fleet
wood viii make a valuable man because
Of his working knowledge gained through
his years of service as secretary Of
state.
