 Tho writer of political column in a Hartford paper presents the following which is of interest here:
 The clerkship of bills Gin the coming 1 legislature) may be the only clerkship to be filled by the induction of a new -E 1o--, eIx II. 1 In this statement the assistant clerk ship of the senate is not included since | that place is filled by appointment by the clerk. The statement has been made that the committee that makes the ap- pointment to the clerkship of bills may give the Cloce to Milton c. Isbell, of An sonia, who mas been clerk of the judic- iary committee for some time since the retirement of Charles F. Roberts. There has been some talk that Judge Alexander M. Creedon of this city [ Id be can dictate, but it was stated very good 1 authority the past week that Judge Cree don would be satisfied with re-appoint- ment to his old position of assistant clerk of bills. The name of Former Speaker | Frederick l.. Scott has been mentioned for the clerkship of bills, but the source of this information is not sufficiently au- 1 thoritative to make the mentioning of MT. Scott's name equivalent to his for nal appointment. If Judge Sabin Sayles Russell of Killingly wishes another term in the position of clerk of engrossed bills there is the likelihood that he will serve | the legislature of 1921 in the same ca pacity that he served it's predecessor in 1919.
 Judge Russell has filled all the house, senate and other clerkships of the legis- i lature during the past dozen years be- ing in attendance at every session.
