THE COUNCIL cANDIDATE


Despite the heavy draft that this cam
paign has made on our voting popula-
tion, there are still few OF us left to
vote for some other beside ourselves.
Never In the history OF the town has
the voter been confronted with such a
mass OF material TO select from for public
Office. There is only one reason why
most OF these candidates are named and
that is to break down Republican ad-
ministration. Most of the candidates who
under various high-sounding names, are
on the tickets havo simply taken this OPP
rortunity 10 get into Office by selt-nomi-
nation.
Under whatever name we may choose
men for the Council, once they are elect
ed they become the representatives OF all
their constituency, irrespective OF party
affiliatiop. They are the board Of di-
rectors for the corporation OF the City OF
Providence. The question to be ecided
by the taxpayers tomorrow is: Who will
you select to run the business OF the mu-
nicipal corpora ion for the coming year?
The record Of those men who call them
selves Republicans is such, as it has al
ways been, as to commend them to a
majority OF the taxpayers in preference to
the men vino call themselves Democrats.
There IS nothing in a party name except
as it is expressed in the work Of the indi-
vidual representatives OF that party name,
and on this basis, aud this alone, Re-
publican candidates have usually secured
the endorsement OF majority Of the
taxpayers.
We expect this will be the case tomor-
row. In Ward the splendid Republic.
can delegation that has record OF 30
much enterprise and good service in
prosecuting the business OF the munich
pal corporation is before the taxpayers
not only represented, their section ade-
quately, but they have been leaders In
promoting the undertakings of the whole
city. Submitted to the vote Of all our
citizens, from every ward, we believe
they would receive an overwhelming in
dorsement by the popular vote. They
have been leaders in our municipal
affairs, leaders in tho directorate CT the
municipal corporation, bringing prestige
to the ward that they represent and sp-
preciated by the progressive cit liens in
every section. Ward should be proud
OF its Council delegation, Mr.. WATSON,
Mr.. VAUGHAN, Mr.. sELLEw, Mr.. DUR,
FEE and Mr.. WOOD.

men nominated for what purpose we
have never been able to find out-except
that of partisan opposition. They call
themselves "Good Government Demo
Gratis" Why "Good Government" we
don't know. Mr.. NICHOLS, candidate
for Alderman, ran for Councilman last
year as something or other" and was
defeated. He ran the year before as a
"citizsn" and was defeated. On both
occasions, Mr.. WATSON was the nominee
for Alderman OF all parties except the
Prohibition. Mr.. NICHOLS is Democrat.
Mr.. BULLOCK is q Democrat. Mr.. sTUR.

ever they may have been, are now Demo

Mr.. CUMMINGS, In his advertisement,
defends himself by declaring that the
COMMITTEES on poor department sap
proved" his administration. A similar
plea might be made by an embezzling
bank cashier whose accounts had been
approved" by the bank examiner and
directors. Mr.. CUMMINGS handled food
for the city and took food that he hkd
no authority to take just as the EN- bez-
cling bank cashier, handling money,
takes money that is never intended to 60
into his pocket.
