The Hon. Ellery III. Wilson, now rep
resenting the town of East Providence in
the House of Representatives, says of the
political outlook in his town as follows:
al have not examined the registry voting
list since the books were closed, but
kept careful eye upon the registration
as il proceeded, and l have every reason
for believing, from what / saw, that the
Republicans will have majority OF that
class of votes this year. am giving you
this as my Impressions week hence can
state il upon the record.
ssI believe that the outlook for the Re-
publican party throughout the State rs

people told me yesterday believe that II

Republicans could carry the city by 15O

Informed
East Providence is more Republican
than our Democrotic friends care TO ac-
knowledge We have large personal
property and real estate vote, and the
larger proportion of those who own their
little homes are with us every time. i
think that from East Providence can be
expected "A good majority for the state
ticket. while we will elect our assembly
I'VE have got better chance through
out the entire State than we
have had for several years and we can
elect our general ticket by popular vote.
think that there is moral certainty that
for the first time in several years the
general officers TO be elected will not have
10 depend upon the Grand Committee.
This belief il strengthened by the fact that
this is the Presidential year, when the
stay-at-homes of our party are more apt to
come out and vote.
"We shall have the House OF Representa-
tives, the Senate. and consequently the
Grand COMMITTEES We want and are
going to have all three by good majority.
The election of last spring shows that the
Republicans are stronger than our friends,
the enemy, suppose, and that the stay-at-
home Republicans are awakened and that
they have saved and are TO save Provi-
dence TO us.
Don't bother yourself about the
mayorality election. That counts for
nothing this spring Taere were nearly
5000 votes which were not counted FOR
anybody in the Smith-Potter contest.
1.-The issue will be straight Republicanism
against straight Democracy. think that
our people appreciate that this is TO bc
the opening gun in the national campaign
and tnat they can be depended not only TO
elect the State ticket and the legislature,
bur to make fight from the start the oh
v
States Senatorship. Our success, as Re
publicans, will have "a great moral effect
upon the other parts of the country and
for that reason / believe that our party
will see that very full vote is cast.
'As 70 the foreign vote created by the
last registration, we will get the British
Americans. the Italians, the French Cana
dians, the Swedes, and in fact every class
except the Irish and lrish-Americans, and

We shall of course, make the tariff n
living, burning issue in the State cam
paign. When the time comes around for
us to'vote we will have had one and u quar-
ter, years experience with the Mckinney
bill and we shall know definitely how it

beyond any question that the bill has
worked admirably for the wage earners.
