their verdict upon parties and party
leaders. The NEWS has made athorough
canvass OF the State, and It believes
from the figures in its possession'and from
the logic of the general situation that the
people OF Rhode Island have determined
to administer a tremendous rebuke 10 the
Democratic party.
Indications all over the State point to a
big vote, and an increased interest in the
election means big Republican majority.
The issues are tremendous although the
Democracy has attempted to contine
them TO the narrow limits of
State issues, and yet even
on State issues the Republican party has
by far the better case, and is proud of the
Republican position.

cities point to a big vote and the election
of the Republican ticket, while from the
various towns the reports are highly en-
couraging.
