CENTRAL FALLS.
Democratic Success Depends on Unity and
Reorganization.

The town election is still quite dis
tance away, but with each passing month
ii draws nearer and therefore as there is
going to be adivision into voting districts
suggestions should be in order. The
Democrats have no doubt realized the fact
that the present town committee is too
large. Ii is now composed of thirty-two
members which everyone will admit must
make .inbersome the work that can be
done by ne-fourth, or less, OF that num-
ber.
The Democrats have majority in the
town, but in order To get il out 1t requires
some attention from the Town Committee.
With the present large number in that
body il gives opportunity for strife to ex-
list that could not under the circumstances
be different or in other wordswith a smaller
committee the work which falls to
! the lot of that body could be as equally
well done. As the town is about to be
divided into districts, as the Democrats
proposed before the other party took it in
hand, it has been suggested that each dis
trict have a district committee. There
| viii be either five or seven districts. Sup
! pose there are five. Let each district COM
mittee nominate Councilman and
send a delegate or delegates to a town
convention to nominate two at large and
/ thus complete the list OF seven. Then
each part of the town would be represented
and there would be no chance for any ill
feeling or for any section to have all or "A
majority of the Councilmen. Lincoln is
l a., lo o..
| OF four as it now has and in that case let
each district committee nominate repre-
sentative and the town committee the
senator. In case of there being seven dis
/ tricts let each one nominate a councilman
| and send delegate to the town commit
| tee. The Democrats of Lincoln can learn
| a lesson from their brethren in the city of
| Pawtucket. Should they stand together
as well there will be no question as to the
politics of this town. With a smaller
committee better work would be done and
! it is a suggestion of the old true and tried
members of the party.
MaIIette Club Meet Tonight.
This -vening a meeting Of the Major
Mallette French Democratic Club will be
/ hCAu III tnt IOOils VIC iiuot
/ Besides several local speakers there will be
visitors from out of town and every mem
| ber should be present as their remarks
! cannot fail to be interesting and instruc-
! tive. Besides the pleasure OF listening to
! the addresses of these men there is some
thing else perhaps of more Importance
! and that Is the naturalization OF those who
have not as yet withdrawn the allegiance
from the British crown and sworn to OBJ
serve the laws of the United States and to
serve Uncle Sam, first, last and all the
time. There is no better opportunity for
French Canadians who intend to become
citizens, to take out their papers, than at
the meeting of this organization.
Democrats Register.
There remains just twenty-five days in
/ which voter can register in order to vote
next year and any Democrat who has not
| yet complied with what our present law
requires should do SO now without any
delay. Next year is the Presidential year
and besides this, which may appear TO be
! the most important, there are number
of State offices to be filled and men to be
elected to represent Little Rhody in the
halls of Congress. Therefore, register at
once and do not make it disagreeable for
the Town Clerk and yourself by waiting
until the last hour. Delays are danger

idence made an excellent address.
The Railroad War.
The contest between the Interstate
Electric Road and the local Street Railway
Company will be re-opened tomorrow at
the meeting of the Council with renewed
vigor. Both companies have been COM
paratively resting on their oars for the
past two weeks, but the Business Men
have been up and doing and seem deter
mined to carry their point of having
the road enter the town and by way Of
High street. They believe it is for the
best interests of the town, but whether
the Council will agree with them or not
is a question still unsolved. The opinion
of such body of men, however, cannot
fail to have its influence.
