IN CENTRAL FALLS.
Political Club" With a
Vengeance.
LOTS OF FUN AHEAD.
How the Democratic Candidates Stand
in This Community.

That the Republican party is In bad
way, looking at 1t from the standpoint Of
harmony, the following letter, written for
publication by prominent British
American, will show.
Joseph Milligan. who holds a chair In
the Lincoln School Committee, and who
is quite welt known as an ardent member
OF the British American Association, is
the author OF the letter, while Oscar
Newell, as everybody Is aware, cuts lead
ing figure as Republican politician. Mr..
Newell was for several years elected to the
General Assembly by the Republicans.
The letter, which explains itself, fol-
lows:
"On Wednesdaylast, 18th inst, Foresters
Hall, Lonsdale avenue, was filled with pa
triotic citizens OF the town of Lincoln,
who assembled for the purpose OF dis
cussing State and town OF Lincoln poll
tics. After the subject was thoroughly
considered, 1t was unanimously voted not
to support Governor Brown il he should
receive a nomination from any party. IL
was voted, amid wild enthusiasm, to or
ganize "Political Club" to be known as
"Lincoln Stars and Stripes" and to extend
an invitation to all patriotic Protestant
citizens to become members. About 200
have already expressed a desire to join,
among whom are many prominent citi-
zens OF Lonsdale and Saylesville. Another
Newell of Central Falls will address the
meeting. JOSEPH MILLIdAN."
Fun Ahead.
There is fun ahead and lots of it, Things
political will engross the attention of
most people between now and the 6th day
OF April. Both parties have nominated
their Assembly tickets and the fight will
be on in earnest in very few days.
1t Is conceded by the great majority of
thinking people that the Democrats have
honors than their opponents, the Republic
cans. Senator Freeman Is, of course, a
good fighter, but all agree that in Arnold
A. Mann he has foeman In every way
worthy of his steel.
or the candidates selected for Repre-
sentatives by the Democrats much might
be said in praise. Hon. John n. Butman,
who heads the list, is fine type of the
progressive Democracy. He has shown
his capabilities in the General Assembly,
being member for three years during a
most trying time for the Democratic
party.
George ID. Jencks is too well known to
need extended notice. He comes of
a Democratic family which has been in
the town so long almost that "the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary"
The Candidates.
To tell the people of Lincoln that
Charles l.. Spencer is one of the most
substantial citizens in the town, and that
mis- election to any Office would be to the
| advantage Of the community, is entirely
unnecessary. Everybody knows Charles
l.. Spencer and everybody, whose opinion
is worth considering, respects him.
Dsmase Coliette is one of the foremo
French speaking citizens Of Central Falls.
He Is known as a gentleman Of integrity
and ability, and mis- position as president
| of the st. Jean Bapti,te Society and other
leading French American ORGANIZATIONS
proves that he has an enviable standing
with the people of his race.
Leonard J. Herman, M. ID. is gentleman
well fitted by education and experience to
serve his town and State with honor and
satisfaction In the General Assembly. DR..
Kiernan, though not so widely acquainted
throughout the town as some of the other
candidates, enjoys the conf ience and es-
| TEEN Of those fortunate to know him.
Taken altogether, the ticket is a splen-
did and a winning one. No Democrat will
hesitate to cast it, ana many Republicans
could atone for past mistakes by giving 1t
