not read Mayor McGuinness and Secre-
tary Dorney out of the party yesterday by
any announcements. but they might as
we'll have gone through with that for
mality for that was the tenor of the
gathering at Hautereive.
There's lively fight ahead and the
state committee will be dragged into 1t
In spite of the easy going good nature Of
Chairman Franklin Pierce Owen.
NO MORE GOO COOS.
All this has been coming about gradu-
ally for months. Yesterday it was on the
surface, talked about openly and, "no
more Goo Coos" was the war cry OF the
Democrats at Hauterieve.
As an outing the affair was a success
politically and gastronomically. 1t was
Committeeman Lovett's busy day and In
a crowd of $50 there were No -aHti-Me-
Guirites to chill the enthusiasm.
Committeeman Lovett was happy-very
happy. He smiled on everyone all through
the dinner and mad no opportunity To eat,
himself. Chairman Mcclure who wore "a
dress suit was the same way. He was
happy and thee was never any interval
longer than five minutes but what some
one would shout; John, the gangs with
you" and so they were.
IL was the jolliflcation of the majority
OF the Democratic party, congratulating
each other on what they considered TO be
new realization of things. They say
that they have woke up to the fact that
the hard workers who have served the
party for years will no longer be
snubbed and ignored by the man they
made themselves and the small circle of
his hackers who claim that they are the
party.
THE MAYORS ABSENCE.
Mayor McGuinness did not 60 TO yester-
day s outing and what's more Secretary
O'Connell declares that he did not even
acknowledge and decline the invitation.
That was the last straw for the patience
OF the crowd that calls itself the "bone
and sinew." There was but one attempt
to apologize for the mayor and that was
an intimatiOn from memb ber Of the
executive COMMITTEES To the effect that the
invitation had been intercepted and never
allowed To reacn the mayor. But what
ever the cause, the mayor WASH 8 there and
there was no graceful letter of regret to
be read after dinner and no one in the
crowd was allowed to lose sight of the
that fact Neither was ex-cbairman OF the
committee and secretary to the mayor.
Dorney there. nor MIR. Peter Lannon nor
Councilman Thomas +. West
CLANS VS.. PRINCIPLES.
MIR. West wanted to go, and.he watched
several Riverside cars 20 by his Office on
Wey bosset street before he could make up
his mind. But finally he turned away
from the temptation with the soliloquy
that he was mot an adjustable Democrat
and that even clans are not so dear to
him as principles.
Chairman Frank Owen of the state
committee accompanied by Secretary John
T.. Coploy and ex-Mayor George W.
Greene of Woonsocket were there as trio
by themselves who came TO see how the
cat was going to jump.
They made mistake in not staying
longer after they got there Tho sudden
and unexpected disappearance of Mr..
owen lust before he was called on for a
speech made "a good deal more trouble
than IL be had talked q few minutes about
Thomas jefferson and the rights Of the
people. That was all that was wanted
and the chairman Of tho state committee
wouldt have been suspected Of being
afraid to commit himself.
THE BREACH WIDENED.
Mr.. Miles A McNamco wasn't there and
there was another absence that wIdeneu
the breach. Tho recent candidate for Sec
retary of state not only didn't come nut
IL charged with having sent an insulting
note of refusal. That was bitter pill.
MIR. James Lovett said "ThinK Of that
man who nas posed as the gentleman of
refinement and education in our party
sending such an unmapnerly, silly answer
10 us fellows that he's looked down on as
not good enough for him.
Mr. McNamee, who was nominated at
the state convention by Tom West. as
"tbc man without proud and naughty
line Of ancestry" won't bo nominated
for anything again IL the city committed
hassanything to do with IT,
The city treasurer was unable to be
present and graciously notified the COM
niittee.
Oyerseer OF Poor Cummings was there
and so were CommitteemensKa sKavanaugh
and Sneohan.
