The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-04-02

! governors have given the state a busi-
ness ike administration with no play
! ing to. the galleries.
There have been only two governors
in these five years, Lippitt and Dyer.
The present candidate for governor
on the Republican ticket, William IL.
Gregory, is In every way fitted TO con-
tlnue the excellent administrative rec
ord OF his predecessors.
The honor OF the nomination came to
Mr.. Gregory after many years OF COM
mendable service in state affairs and
preliminary apprenticeship in execu-
tive Office as Governor Dyer's lieuten-
ant.
His nomination was not alone a re-
ward for faithful service, a recognition
of capacity for the position. but also a
compliment TO the country" sections
of the state.
For more than a decade in the past
Republican candidates for governor
have come from the city of Providence.
Efficient State Officers:
THE balance of the Republican tick
ct needs no more introduction than does
Mr.. Gregory TO commend II TO the vot-
ers.
Mr. X mball for lieutenant governor
has following among his fellow citi-
zens in Providence that any citizen
would be proud OF, while his leg slative
service has made him well known and
respected throughout the state.
Secretary OF State Bennett is a can
didate for reelection, OF course, and
there has never been any likelihood
that Rhode Island would make a
change in that office so long as Mr..
Bennett continues to maintain his rec
ord OF unsurpassed efficiency.
Attorney General Tanner is another
whose extended record is before the
public and has never been impeached
i'm any campaign. not even by political
opponents.
And General Treasurer Read, though
only for a brief term in his present
office is veteran in the public service
and may look with confidence for the
endorsement at the polls which his SER
vices in the treasurer's office warrants.
Against these valued officials the
Democracy can have no hope of rolling
UP any great number of votes for cam
didates who have been nominated sim
ply to enable the party to maintain its
organization and it's standing as poll
tical entity under the statutes.
The City Ticket:
A cross opposite the name of every
Republican candidate for assemblyman
from the city of Providence will equally
mean continuation OF the conditions
that have prevailed for number of
years past and insure to thu capital
city an earnest, business like and capa-
BILE delegation in the state legislative
body.
The city ticket for next Wednesday
contains the names of assemblymen
who are tried and true and the new
men have been selected with a view
to maintaining the prestige of the dele
cation.
Providence elects Democratic mayors
Dut, infOusn all the
tions in municipal affairs the citizens
have never shown any desire to be rep
resented by Democrats in the Assem-
bly,.
Every April the city returns a Repub-
lican delegation to the state house.
The citizens have had ample dem
onstration of how well the interests of
the municipality are taken care of by
their representatives and that the
standing of the leading city in the state
is maintained in the legislative coun-
ellis.
The voters of Providence will without
any doubt elect the entire city ticket
in full on Wednesday as an endorse
ment of such of its members as have
already performed faithful service and
an approval of the choice of their dele
gates i'm the convention i'm the matter
of new men to take the places OF those
who retire with the present Assembly.
