BREAKS HIS SILENCE.
Mayor Baker has been very reticent up
to the present time, and. in fact, would
not talk about the mayoralty question,
but at last he has broken the ice.
This does not come as a surprise to
those who knew the attitude of Richard
b. Comstock, who has always been, and
will doubtless once more be, the manager
of Mayor Bakers campaign. Mr.. Com
stock. despite the statements of some
members OF the Democratic party, has
fully as much control of the party In
Providence as he ever had. although his
control over the state Democracy Is a
thing of the past.
Mr.. Comstock has evidently been look
ing the field over pretty thoroughly. I'm

of securing Baker delegation in the sew
eral wards. and hence the reticence OF the
mayor In making his intentions known.

Col. Donahue. chairman of the Demo-
cratic city committee. and Bernard Con-
atty, one of the very strong Comstock ad-
herents, of the Second ward, are both
out for Mayor Baker. first, last and all
the time. and openly make the statement
that he VIII be the only candidate that
the Providence Democrats will have.
This may or may not be a fact. but Il
will be just as well to wait until after the
caucuses are held IL In no secret that
Mayor Baker has lost much OF the popu-
larity that he formerly enjoyed. and 1t is
also well known that one wing OF the
Democratic party is not In sympathy with
him at ALL However, IL looks now as IL
Mayor Baker could manage to capture
the Democratic nomination once more,
unless there are some great surprises.
DEPENDING ON GOO COOS.
or course, the mayor and those who
are working In his behalf are depending
upon what Is. or rather was. the Goo

be disappointed. The Goo-Goo supporters
of Edwin u. McGuinness and
later of William c. Baker, are
not very vigorous body by any
means, and what little life is still left
seems TO be rapidly ebbing away.
This is what has probably prompted
that product OF the former "Goo-Goo"

MR.. GRAY DISAPPOINTED.
Mr.. Gray In a somewhat informal man
ner approached Richard HDeming. chair
man OF the park commission. and sug-
gested that Mr.. Deming would be an ideal
candidate TO run on such ticket. but Mr..
Deming. who Is Republican, could not

own choosing.
