along pretty smoothly so long as we
have a Republican treasurer, a Repub-
lican auditor, a Republican board of
assessors, a Republican street commits
sioner, a Republican superintendent of
sewers and Republicans at the head of
every other department of municipal
work.
I'VE haven't had a Democratic city
government this past year. The city
council has been Republican by more
than three to one. There are six Re
publican wards in Worcester and two
Democratic Ward five has been a Re
publican ward ever since 1898 and this
Quinsigamond section is the banner
Republican precinct in Worcester.
don't know but that 1t is the strongest
Republican precinct in Massachusetts.
1 rather think it is.
"This city is Republican by three or
four thousand votes. What's the use
playing with fire? The Republicans
have been playing with fire for several
years, and it is about time some of
them had the hose turned on them. If
a good big stream of cold water could
be showered over some of these swelled
head Republicans who are so much
better than their party or their partys
candidate they would realize that they
are not SO warm after all
when we go into caucus fight for
nomination we should make up our
minds to let that tribunal settle the
question as to the candidate, and then
all turn in and work for the nominee"
Daniel p. Shea spoke for Mr.. Fetch
er and the clean campaign of the party.
He also urged those present to vote
for John F. Jandron, Edward F. Cum
ningham and A. L. Smith Mr.. Shea
told several funny stories, and put the
audience in good humor.
Edward F. Fletcher thanked the vot-
ers of Ward five for their interest and
said after the eloquence of Mr.. Shea
nothing remained for him to add but
to express his gratitude to those pres
ent He briefly outlined some of the
duties which ought to be assumed by
a mayor.
Gustav A. Berg spoke Of Mr.. Fletch-
ers promptness in keeping engage
ments, and said it was good charac-
teristic an a man they hoped to make
mayor. Edward M. Woodward COM
pared the city to a corporation, and
said that every corporation needed a
man at it's head competent to manage
its finances. Such man was Edward
f. Fletcher He refuted the assertions
of a few Republicans that Mr.. Fletch-
er was candidate put forward by the
press, showing how he was CHOSEN in
convention.
John f. Jandron made a good speech
urging ALI Republicans to be loyal to
the party, and vote for Republican
principles. Thomas f. McGauley, was
unable to be present, on account of
illness. H. P. Gleason, a candidate for
Common Council also spoke. Council
man w ]. Bragg was called upon, but
owing to the lateness of the hour only
said a few words.
There will be another meeting of
Ward five Monday night. Tonight
there is nothing scheduled except work
at headquarters.

English WeekIies Do Not Share
Entirely Coed Opinion Of PreSi-
dents Message That DaiIies So
Freely Gave
DECLARE THAT WE
ARE VERY SELFISH
Speaker Bitter Over What Mes
sage Said Asairot the Trusts
Saturday Review MiIder in Its
Comment-OutIook Somewhat
Complimentary

London, Dec. 6.-The comment Of the
weeklies on President Roosevelts mes
sage to Congress is not so friendly as
that of the dailies. The Speaker devotes
the entire space to acrid comment on
the trust references. The paper de-
clares the Presidents treatment OF
grave, economic situation is trivia III
form and unsatisfactory in substance
adding:
"If we did not entertain a genuine
belief in the goodness of the Presl-
dents intentions, we should regard his
diagnosis of the industrial situation as
insincere."
The Speakers word picture of the
widespread ruin, corruption, ecoQmlc
tyranny and domestic utilization brew
ing in American as the result OF tfust
domination, would be revelation TO
the most ardent antitrust advocate IN
the United States The article con-
cludes as follows:
"For such a student of industrial
policies as Mr.. Roosevelt processes TO
be to ignore, to ignore these conditions
is an act of intellectual daring tnaL
does him little credit The upshot OF
the message is to minimize and mis-
represent the dangers q trusts and TO
postpone any serious attempt TO sraP
pie with them
The Saturday Review, on the other
hand, remarks: -,
All industrial undertakings in the
United States are more scienuhcal or
ganized than in any other country as
we have learned to our cost. The trust
is the lost word of this system or
scientific organization and the Presi-
dent is right when he declines TO nam
per the captains of industry.
Turning to the canal treaty, however,
the Saturday Review declares Great
Britain has sacrificed everything to
gain the probiematical friendship of
the United States, which will last just
go long as it takes America to build
feet. and not day beyond.
The Outlook is mildly commendatory
of the message. 1t says:
1.-THE anarchist program is splendld
In theory but in practice is impossible.
AS regards reciprocity, the outlook
remarks:
cranky selfish America, will accept
freely whatever benefits herself. but
will be careful that no infant industry
Is squeezed out of the perambulator,'

BOUGHT GAS PLANT.

TT s Weed. of New York, Buys Citi-
 zens'. of Bridgeport, at Receivers
 Sale.
 Bridgeport, Aug. 14.-The plant of the Citizens Gas company was sold to- day by the receiver, Frank Miller to Hanford s. Weed, of New 4ork, TOT SS5, ,000. This is another step apparently in the consolidation of the Bridgeport Gas Light company and the defunct Citizens Gas company by a syndicate renresented. so far as the public knows now bv MT Weed and Samuel Thorne, one of the men formerly connected With the Pennsylvania Coal company and who successfully engineered its sale to the Erie railroad.
 The receivers sale of the Citizens Gas company has been postponed rom time to time until to-day, while the ne- gotiations for the purchase Of the Bridgeport Gas Light company were in nrogress. Not long ago it WIS announc- ed that the holders of majority of the stock of the Bridgeport Gas Light com nany had agreed to sell to MT. Thorne, accepting his proposition of SID share. The par value of the stock IS 1 s25
 MT Weed was the only bidder for the plant of the Citizens Gas company to- day. He takes it subject, of course, to the first mort gage bonds, which amount to about $1, ,0000oO, and the supposition is that he represents the bondholders Receiver Miller said to-day that he dic not know whether MT. Weed represent ed solely himself or other parties. He was the only bidder and at once gave his check for the purchase price. More developments may be expected in th' close future.
 Tomorrow the option of William c Thorne on the stock of the Bridgepor Gas Light company will expire, and al fullv three-fourths of the stockholders have accepted MT Thorne's terms tn company will pass into the control O new owners. MT. Thorne has not dis closed the name of his packer.
