Chairman Owen is discouraged by the
result Of yesterdays elections and, ac-
cording TO the statements of some Of his
friends, has given up the fight.
He did not count on electing more than
two members from Pawtucket but he
was surprised when three OF the Demo-
cratic pluralities o. last Saturday were
changed into Republican pluralities and
James l.. jerks lacked only eighteen Of
majority. TIE election leaves five hold
over Republican representatives from
Pawtucket. with the senator and one
representative Democra ic.
The Contest.
There has been no more hotly contested
election in years than that in Pawtucket
yesterday. Republicans who have taken
no active part in ections since the
famous Sprague contests, took off heir
coats and worked all day The respecta
BILE citizens almost TO a man voted aud
workei for the reelection of the Republi-
can candidates and against the success
of the Carroll ticket. 1ney had had one
sample of Mr.. Carroll in the house and
In the city government and it did not re-
quire much encouragement to induce
tnem TO get to work. The result was a
larger vote than at either of the two
elections and material decline in the
Prohibition te.
1t is of course claimed by those who.
though professedlv independent. are
working for the election of Baker. that

the party. Great stress is laid on this

Of splits and contenti, rs.
The facts are that the Republicans
simply voted and that they really out
numbered the Democrats. The Repub-
lican organization in the spindle city is
in splendid condition, and the success Of
the ticket in that CITY is due to its efforts.
Westerly.
In Westerly the election resulted in the
choice of one representative, l.. w. Ar
mold, by majority of 81. The other
representative. Mr.. Hoxsie. is entitled TO
his seat in the house by virtue of the
hold, yer law. Last Wednesday he was
elected senator from that town in place
OF Orlando Il. Smith. Unaer the cir
cumstances, Therefore, il would he neces-
sary Tor the general assembly to call an
other election for first representative. Ii
is not prVbab e that sucn an eecti n will
be called, however, anu Mr.. HUxsie will
retain his seat In the house, and refuse
TO qualify as senator. Under the hold
over law Orlando X. Smith will hold
over.
Two elections occur today in North
Providence for sen tor, and in James
town for a representa- i've. There is now
little doubt that the Republicans will be
successiu ul in both places.
