FORTREASURER,H HENRYJ. SPOONER
In this campaign wnen assault Is made
on Republican city government, blind,
reckless, pitiless, outrageous assault, that
puts TO the front Democrats under vari-
Gus disguises and holsters them up by
hypocrisy and Misrepresentation, assail-
ing the character OF individ uals ana seek
ing to destroy the credit of the muni-
cipal corpor alton, itself, we should think
that every good citizen, not bound by
partisan faith to Democracy, would well
come the opportunity to rebuke the pro-
moters OF the so-called reform" move
ment by voting for q Republican where
ever he could find one or the ballot. 1t was
evidently with some such sentiment as
this that the representatives Of the Re-
publican party, in convention mbled,
nominated q "straight, party ticket, de-
clined to put the present Democratic City
Treasurer on 1t, and made Hon. HENRY
]. sPooSER a candidate for the Office.
Mr. SPooNER needs no encomiums
from US, no guarantee Of his integrity
and business ability. He has public re-
cord that gives assurance that he would
fill the Treasurer's Office faithfully and
ably. We should think that every Re-
publican, at least, would be glad to vote
for him that q final blow may be given to
crush the asaiIants OF an honora bic and
able Republican city government.

FOR MA YOR, FRA NK FULLER oLNEY
We nave no doubt that FRAME FULLER
oIgEY will be elected Mayor for third
term tomorrow.
1t is notable that IN all this campaign
of abuse, Misrepresentation and villifics-
tiou on the part OF the Democrats snd
Goo Coos. not word has been uttered to
aff:ct the record or disparagc the candi-
dacy of our Mayor. A siaunch Republi-
can, a strong partisan, he has so performed
the duties OF his ofElce that not even the
prevailing GooGoo sentiment of "a change
fer the sake OF a change aims at him. He
has for two terms made an admirable ex-
ecutlve. No duty that he has been called
upon to DO has been left undone or has
been done otherwise than with the Ut
most conscientiousness. Nothing affect
ing the interests OF his city or the well
fare of his feilow-c citizens, near or re-
motely to be associated with the reponsi-
bilities OF his office, has failed to enlist
his services as Mayor OF the city OF
Providence. From successfully medIat-
ing between employer and employe IN a
great industrial struggle involving thou
sands OF individuals and Of fsr-reaching
injury into the business OF his city, and
the neIghboring town OF Johnston, to
giving his personal attention to the needs
OF an unfortunate fellow citizen hose in
discretion had brought wretcheduess and
inpoverishment to wife and little ones,
in the smallest act as in the great public
concerns, FRANK FULLER OLNEY has ex-
emplified the scope OF duty, the high cali
ing, the responsibilities and the honors
that distinguish and give unparalleled
prestige to the Office OF Mayor OF the City
of Providence. He has made himself
esteemed and beloved by his fellow-citi-
zens and he commands the support of his
feliow-citizens, irrespective OF party, with
the exception only OF thS kind whose
non-partisanship stops short of recogniz-
ing anything but a Democrat as an object
for it's iscriminating favor.

THIS newspaper Is conducted by busi-
ness men as q business enterprise, and
not by "politicians' or as a political
undertaking. We think this has been
amply demonstrated since the present
management took hold, now nearly two
years ago. Whatever principles are ex-
pressed or polly pursued in the columno
OF THy NEWS are designed to express
measure OF public sentiment. We cant
express all the public sentiment there 10
in this town because we are only single
minded, and our eyes ars not crossed.
We choose to represent Repu publicsnism
In politics because We are trained to the
belief that Rcpublicsuism is the better
political sentiment for the domination OF
any town. We claim nothing for our.
