No attribute our victory to the strong
protection sentiment in the State. II any
money was used it came from the Democratic
side, the saloon keepers and the brewers.

was all on the Democratic side. Rhode Is
land is Republican and will go Republican

franchised because the property qualification
has been removed vote with the Democrats =
No; that vote will be about equally divid-

Republicans. The Republicans introduced
the amendment to remove the property quail
hcation and also voted to carry the amend

vote with the Republicans. About IL 600
