There Is trouble brewing among tne
Warwick politicians and although tho
towns business has alwsys been conducted
smoothly and rapidly, there are some who
are quietly but vigorously working TO
throw down the powers that be" and
although they have as yet not shown their
hand openly 1t Is well understood that
some of the heelers of the present power
are badly in disfavor with the majority OF
the voters. Although the Warwick tax
payers and voters are perfectly satisfied
with the present Town Council they are
not satisfied with the actions OF some OF
the smaller fry who have gone into
politics "for what there is In IL, p" and in
the endeavor to feather their own nests,
have done more than the Democrats have
to throw down the Republican party in
Warwick. The Carroll Democracy"
has been keeping a wary eye on the pro-
ceedings and It. would not be strange If
some of the amateur politicians were
badly thrown down at the next election.
