MR. uTTERs REMARKS.
Hon. George IL. Utter was the seeono
speaker and said in part:
when we come TO a meeting or TINS
-ort there are some things that ~ousht
40 no tabooei. / don't know how TO
make use of abuse. i don't ike 10 COME
20 a meeting I'm such frame OF minu:
..There As no doubt that the result or
last years election was striking. Inc
conditions existing In the state prior TO
that election were peculiar. The people
who went TO the polls distinguished In
their voting. That was shown IN Select
ing from both parties
'The Democratic candidate for years
before had been before the people In
such a way that he answered the pecu-
liar conditions, and the people took him
upon h4s promises. He has now been IN
office for a year and stands upon his
record and no longer upon promises
What that record Is you all know.
There Is not a thing the national DEM
ocracy would not do IL they could secure
the defeat OF Nelson w. Aldrich for the
United States senate. and every patriotic
his return there.
Our present governor all his life was
an ardent man for changes, and he has
always accused everybody else except
himself of corruption. Whenever he
would get up In the house. the audience
would leave him. but he would keep on
talking Just the same. He was always
happy In the practice of accusing other
people of corrupt practices.
MAKE HIM PROVE 1T.
''The governor delivered a message to
the senate and house of representatives
In which he stated that some of the MEM
bers OF that body had been elected by
bribery and corruption. There Is only
one fault have to find with that general
assembly. They should have appointed
committee To compel the governor TO
prove his charges.
throughout the state I'm regard to this
question OF bribery. A pamphlet has been
sent through the state but IL would have
introduction signed by Bishop Mcvickar.
'"rhe bishop has since said that he was
not responsible for the charges In the
pamphlet Not until ,tn,. the eve aorssr OF state
though prepared months ago. The men
behind them have taken an undue ad-
vantage of the bishop OF the state. The
ago was 20 make bribery and corruption
an issue In this campaign, and they have
carried out that plan"
MIR. sANBoRN OF NEWPORT.
My friends we are up against this solid
phalanx OF Democratic voters I'm TINS

II. too, resent these charges that % have
think know something OF the morality
and political condition of the county
towns of Rhode Island. But II the Dem,
ocrats wish to meet us on the ground OF
morality and crime we are ready 10 meet
! them The laws against crime and mo-
rality on our statute books were put there

or less immoral than Rhode Island. =,
