Quk JLIAYOR MORRISETTK, the fighting mayor of Ogdens- burg, a few days ago threw down 'the gauntlet for a political battle this fall when he announced his intention of running for member of the House of Representatives if Congressman Sneil didn't sup- . port htm for the Republican nom- ination for State senator. And the Congmssins.il has hurled back the gauntlet by declaring that he Is not Interested in any sort of a po- litical deal. Now the all-important thii.g is what will the Mayor do now? He cannot very well back down and probably doesn't want to do so. But just at present it would seem that he has very lit- tle chance of getting the nomina- tion away from Mr. Soell! Con- gressman Snell is the acknowledg- ed leader of the Republicans In this end of the state and Is a big man in the. national capital today, for years be has had the oonfldenos of the members of his party sad probably Isn't worried by this threat of opposition next tall. But the Mayor's desire to be 8tats senator may be taken more seriously. Two years ago Mrs. Rhoda Fox Graves went Into the primary against Senator Thayer and although defeated put up a good battle. Perhaps Mayor Mor- risstte's ambition la a real threat to the gentlemen's agreement that has existed for years, that St. Lawrence should have toe office of Representative and Franklin the. StaU senator. From time to time / there have been rumblings of opposition to Senator Thayer. Several RapubHeana from Frank- lin county have bean mentioned u posatkte oandklaUa, *Ht Mayor PRUE^O STAND TRIAL 8 YEARS AFTER ARREST MAN WHO FIGURED IN THEFT OF CARS AT LANG'S GAB- AOE IN 1926 TAKEN IN CHI- CAGO—HAD BEEN MISSING SINCE E8CAPE FROM MA- LONE JAIL A case which originated in Tup- per Lake fully eight years ago will at last come before Judge Ellsworth C. Lawrence at thft coming grand jury session when Lester Prue, 34, sought by Frank- lin county authorities since 1926 tor 'grand larceny, burglary and jail breaking, is arraigned. Back In 1926 Prue was arrested here and; subsequently indicted for grand larceny and burglary. He and Bert Danqner and Ray Ner- schel were all Indicted for break- ing into Lang's garage at Faust and stealing some automobiles. Prue was also accused of steal- ng about $1,000 worth of clothing from the A. J. Elliott department store in Malone. But he never stood trial. On February 19, 1926, an elaborate attempt on his part to'break out of jail was frustrated when Un- dershertff James Euright found and seized a revolver and an Iron bar, which were secreted in the mattress of Prue's cot. Prue's young wife, Viola Col- ins Prue, admitted bringing^ him the revolver and on the day that she was sentenced by Supreme Justice John' C. Crapser to a year in Auburn Penitentiary her hus- band fled jail. That was on the morning of March 12. 1926. About 5 o'clock that morning Sheriff Joseph Levy now deceased, found Prue's ceil door open and the door leading from the Jail office to the cell block also unlocked. A wide search was instituted, but no trace was found of Prue.' For eight years Prue dropped from sight. A few months ago he is apprehended on a minor charge In Orioago and identified. Sheriff Mark B, Monaghan was notified at Makfni, and after Prue finished aarvtng Ms sentence at ike Cook Oouatar Jfctt In he made the ' ' in the van an laeseaoans utere way M atsfity at political excitement next summer. • • • |T begins to look as if the Adi- rondack wolf story is about to Mr exploded. Scientists and wolf expevts sjfc^aren from all comers of the United States are now on their way to study one of these aatruJs that was recently killed near Owls Head. We may expect •son to hear the announcement that the animals are only wild doge, perhaps a cross between a fox hound and an Irish setter. Why can't we be left alone? Why can't we have our wolves as well as Scotland has lUjiea monster? On- ly this summer one of these ani- mals was exhibited throughout this region and hundreds of dimes 'collected from the curious and al- resj'y scientists are planning on depriving this thrifty trapper of his way of making a living. Pos- sibly Hugh Johnson can devise a code that will take care of the matter. There must be some pro- vision in the \New Deal\ that wUl Tiftrrne the situation. If we don't prove to the world that our wolves are real wolves we'll be disgraced forever. • • • • •rHE! St Lawrence Waterway de- velopment project, while It seeris to have the backing of President Roosevelt, will In all probability lack _ the necessary votes for approval. It requires a 2-3 vote of the Senate to ratify any treaty and since an agree- ment with Canada must be sign- ed l^efore the work can be started, there seems to be little hope of the supporters of the project rmia- terlig the necessary votes. The wbr-le Industrial East and Atlan- tic Seaboard are arrayed against the b<U, but the Mid-West and Great Lakes region are as solidly beh'nd it Korthern New York is vitally Interested. The future of this re- gion is tied up in the project and In nplte of the fact t;hat Senator Wa-jner is opposed, the people of this section should be and probab- ly ere for it 100 per bent.
