POLITICS OR NECESSITY.

The citizens OF Pawtucket are requested
to run over the candidates for the Legisla-
ture placed in nomination by the Demo-
cratic and Republican City Conventions,
and choose for themselves the candidates
in whose hands thev desire to place their
interests in the General Assembly. After
they have carefully read the lists let them
consider whether they will endorse the
Republican candidates who have shown
themselves to be more in favor of class
legislation, rather than looking after the
interests of the common people. How
strong is the influence of corporations or
capitalists over our present Representatives
in the Legislature has been shown OH alto
gether too many occasions. Take for in
stance the Blodgett enabling act, or, more
properly speaking, the disenabling act,
which, if 1t had passed, would have taken
away from the towns and cities the priv
ilege of municipal ownership. This act
was introduced In the Legislature just as
the session was about to close, and be-
came known as the most dangerous piece
of class legislation that was ever attempted
in any legislature in the land. Still, the
present Republican candidates were silent
in their Legislative seats as the attempt to
work the bill through was made.
Pawtucket should elect the ticket headed
by Nathan w. Littlefield on Wednesday.
We leave the question of fitness to the in
telligence of the public for their decision,
and there can be very little doubt as to
what the answer will be at the polls on
Wednesday,

MAYOR 0OTTSCHALK'S TROUBLES

Mayor Gottschalk of Central Falls is not
having very pleasant time of it in con-
ductiong the affairs of his Office. The
cause of this is that he desires to exercise
his full rights as Chief Executive of the
city, while the Board Of Aldermen, or,
more properly speaking, majority OF the
Board, are throwing all sorts OF obstacles
In his way. II is the same old story over
again. Mayor Gottschalk is an advocate
of non -partisanship in municipal govern
ment, and he was elected Mayor i'm Deem
ber last on a Democratic Citizens ticket,
defeating the regular Republican nominee.
Unfortunately, however. the triumph Of
the Citizens movement with DIR. Cots
chalk's election, for the Republicans cap
tured the aldermanic board.
The Mayor naturally wishes to exercise
his prerogative, but almost every move has
been blocked I'm the Board OF Aldermen.
The music began at the first meeting and
the band has been playing ever since.
Viewed from an impartial standpoint, IL
would seem that the Central Fails Board
Of Aldermen has treated Mayor Gottschalk
very shabbily. II there was anything un-
reasonable made in any OF Mayor Colts
chaik's requests there might be some ex-
cuse for the Boards treatment OF them.
This, however. has not teen done.
