From the Providence Record
We don't happen to have any particular
interest in the three handed reel now go
ing on in Pawtucket, except that as Dem
ocrats we would like to see Carroll succeed.
We have been asked where we stand i'm
the contst, whether for; or against Mr..
Carroll. He is the regular nominee of the
Democratic party and as such should get
the entire party support. Hugh j. Carroll
is a stalwart Democrat; there isn't a bit
Of Republican or Mugwump in his make
up; he is a keen, long headed, practi ical
politician, with many OF the qualities that
make successful and sometimes good
legislator.
II at times he has seemed to play the boss
ii Is because it has been tolerated and not
resented. Carroll is now and has always
been firm, uncompromising, hard work
ing friend of the working people. No
man who ever worked eleven or more
hours and who now works ten should neg
lect to put in a vote for Mr.. Carroll. Car
than any other men, worked hard day and
night to put the 10-hour law on our statute
books. II was Carroll and Garvin who
gathered the statistics; it was Carroll's
bristling array of facts, his untiring zeal
in keeping men favorable to the measure
before the committee appointed by the
legislature to give hearing that won for us
that measure.
There is nothing mean in Carroll's
makeup. He is his own worst enemy.
He makes friends easily; but is too care
less, sometimes, when the old ones are in
question; not but that he is firm in his
friendships, but he expects men to be
satisfied with knowing it rather than 10
have them exact expressions of it. Carroll
has enemies! That is equivalent ITO say
ing he is not - confounded fool. Yes,
Carroll has enemies, and so has every man
OF force and strong character.
What cannot be wiped out is the record
made by Carroll in favor of every measure
and every form OF labor legislation. IL
for no other reason than for this, Mr.. Car
roh, should be elected. Mr.. Carroll, with
Doctor Garvin, originated the Ten Hour
bill he worked for it; he stuck to il un-
til it became law. This is not his only
claim to support; but it should be enough I;
he is earnest, honest and capable. For
fifteen or twenty years he has worked for
others. He has never changed front; he
has always been for the people against
corporations; and he has never violated
his oath OF Office, abused trust.
Taught by the past, Carroll will be more
careful what class OF men he lets come
near him. 1t is class that has dragged
him down. Once rid of these he will
bound back in his once high place. He is
disliked for the friends he has made. AS
Colonel Pease says, Carroll is uncom-
promising with his foes and true to his
adherents. While Mr.. Sherman may be,
and doubtless is, most honorable man,
he is not the nominee of his party. Mr..
Carroll is, and as we said before he has
never been anything but Democrat.
The Democracy OF Pawtucket will make
not mistake but blunder il instead of
Carroll, White is elected. We are for
Carroll.
