Marlon Butler.
This session of the legislature is espe
cially noteworthy in the fact that both
the members of the U nited States sen
ate are to be elected; the short term to
succeed Senator Jarvis, appointed upon
the death of Senator Vance, and the
long term to succeed Senator Ransom,
whose term of office expires on the
fourth of March. Democrats having
lost control of the assembly, the long I
term, in consequence of an arrange- ^
ment made prior to the state election,
will go to Marion Butler, the leader of
the North Carolina populists, and the
strongest champion of the fusion move
ment. The fight for the short term Is
between Jetty Pritchard, a young re
publican, of the western part of the
state, and a number of other promi
nent men in the councils of that party.
The chances are in favor of the former,
as he has been the nominee of the re
publican minority on othrr occasions.
A bitter fight will be made, however,
with possibly disastrous results to the
straight republican organization in
this state.
Marion Butler ia quite likely to be a
conspicuous figure in the United States
senate as well as one of the youngest
members of that body. He was born in
Sampson county, North Carolina, in
1803, received a good education and
then accepted the principalship ot the
village academy where he was educa
ted. When a beardless boy Mr. Butler
became interested in the Alliance
movement, and has made it stronger in
Sampson and adjoining counties than
in any other part of the state. In 1890
Mr. Butler was elected to the state sen
ate. At the late election the populist,
through fusion with the republicans
were very successful.
