PITT AND THE SPEAKDRSHIP


Frankly, we, expected to see him
sweep the boards: but the outcome in
dicates that while his obvious advan-
tages brought him the necessary votes
he had evidently fewer sympathizers
than votes His rivals were very
prompt with their expressions OF cour-
tesy following his nomination.; but
when it comes to legislation courtesy
will not make them hackers Of moss
back program. and upon the whole the
legislative outlook Is not so bad as We
supposed it was. AS tor Speaker Pitt.
he is a politician Of considerable force
and ability. His political biographies
put emphasis upon his occupation as
that Of farmer; but he ID only 40
years Of age and has been ten years in
county office, SO that his attention to
agriculture would appear to have been
subject at least to diversions. AS a
matter of fact, however, he has had the
sort Of experience that would qualify
him for very useful legislator, either
on the floor or in the chair. IL he were
built right in the matter OF disposition
to forward the. best interests Of the
state Perhaps the session will dis
close that he is better built than we
think: but anyhow we believe now that
1t is not going to be possible for him to
wreck quite everything In state affairs.
His support in the beginning Is too
equivocal, and the general assembly is
always a body Of much more seasoned
comprehension in March than Is the
condition early in January.
