Petaluma, across an arm of the creek.
when his diamond ring slipped from his

without the mounting, $500. says the
Stockton Independent.
The owner hated to give IL UP, yet he

among her companion artists had won
for her the name OF LA Petite de IA

Because of this quite well understood
relationship between the electorate and
the executive twice honored with it's
confidence II appears that popularity is
not of itself sufficient to command for
a Rhode Island governor a third cleo
tion by the people even though party
expediency has secured for him third
nomination at the hands of his party.
Governor Davis experience, for in
stance. offered an illustration OF the
difficulty of electing a popular man to
the governship three times for all the
undoubted strength OF the candidate
and quite satisfactory service to the
State Governor Davis was nominated
by the Democratic party for five sue
cessive campaigns at "A time when both
his party and his personal strength
were very great. But he was elected
only twice. And II Is Illustrative Of the
same general rule that Gov. Davis cleo
tion for the first time was accomplish
ed when Governor Wetmore. now SEN
ator Wetmore, was a candidate for
third term. Exceptional political cond-
ditions favored Governor Litteheld and
Governor Van Zandt for three terms
and Governor Padelford for four terms.
Governor Burnsides extraordinary
popularity as Rhode Islands idol Of
the war accounts for his three terms
and each OF the war governors, Spra-
que and Smith enjoyed the unusual op-
portunities for distinction which the
period afforded to retain Office for
three terms. Since Governor Little
fields time the only executive TO be
thrice elected was Governor Brown
whose exceptional support by his
party and the tremendous vote Of con-
fidence that ensued after he had served
two years was, OF course. directly due
to the sentiment of fair play aroused
in his behalf after, the extraordinary
attempt at revolution on the part OF
the Democracy in 1895. which contrib
uted to the wreck OF that party and
the influence of which has been sac-
tor that has benefited every Republic
can candidate since then.
