Machine Republicans Not Well
Disposed Toward Him.
Albert C. LanderS Spoken Of as Possible
Nominee for Congress- Democrats
Have Plenty of Material.

mentioned " does NOT follow. however.
that the Republican candidate will be
from Newport and the city of Provi-
dence may be heard from before the con-
vention IL held.
The Democrats have quite a good list
10 select from I'm looking for n Congress
sional candidate in the First district.
Nothing has yet been decided upon I'm
this direction. but several names have
been taken under consideration.
Among these names are those of Mayor
William G. Baker, John W.Hogan and ex-
Mayor Edwin ID. McGuinness of Provi-
dence. and ex-Lieut Gov. Samuel X.
Honey, of Newport IL IL very doubtful
that Mr. McGuinness would accept the
nomination. even If II was rendered To
him, but any one OF the other gentlemen
might, and they are all strong men.
In view OF the fact that Mayor Boyle
of Newport has been so badly turned
down by the General Assembly. and
that the new police commission Is an en-
tirely partisan body. being composed OF
three Republicans, the Democrats believe
| that they will not have great trouble I'm
| carrying Newport in November. more
| particularly as. in case Col Bull is not a
| candidate. there will be no Wetmore
money to contend against.
II is argued. and with some show of
reason, that United States Senator Wet
more will not accept the treatment of Col
Bull with any degree of pleasant feeling
and will hardly feel disposed. whatever
he may do for Mr. Mckinley in Newport
to put out funds to help those who may
humiliate his very close friend and polit-
ical associate.
In Providence also, the Democrats are
much encouraged for their congressional
candidate. whoever he may be, for they
believe that the arbitrary action of the
two members of the commission who
sined the ward division report, will call
for condemnation from the Democratic
party and. taking the situation as a
whole In the First Congressional dis
trict, they believe their candidates can
be elected
IN THE SECOND DISTRICT.
In the Second Congressional District.
| there seems to be no doubt that the Re-
publicans will nominate the present Con-
f, gressman, Hon. Adm Il. Capron of Still
! waiter. Mr. Capron Is quite popular
| man personally and II II generally be-
| lieved that he will be reelected.
| The Democrats however, are by nc
| means idle, and they intend TO put up =
strong fight in the Second district, and.
| I'm fact. many of them claim that their
| chances of winning arc remarkably good
! this year particularly in Pawtucket and
woonsocket where the Democratic may
ors have been unjustly treated by the
General Assembly in relation TO polilc'
| matters.
The report that Mayor John j. Fitz
| gerald of Pawtucket is out for the Dem
| ocratic congressional nomination In th'
Second district, is pronounced by his
| closest friends 10 be without fonnda
tion, as he will stand again as the can
didate OF his party for mayor.
The candidate OF the Democracy In th'
Second district for congressional honori
will. II is almost certain, he DIR. l.. L. C
Garvin OF Cumberland, who I'm spite o
some Of his political idissyncracies. Il
unquestionably a vote getter.
DIR. Garvin is also an indefaticabl
worker for his party and has n facut,
of carrying the people with him. IL 4
known that he would like 10 receive tn
Democratic nomination, and Furthermore
he Is entitled to II for the services h.
has already rendered his party.
There will be a meeting OF the execu
tive committee of the Democratic stat
central committee I'm this city on Satur
day afternoon next, and at that tim
certain matters may be definitely decides
upon.
