The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1904-08-25

The recently reported announcement OF
j. J. Fitzgeralds candidacy was referred
10 by Mr.. Sullivan who said he considered
II as suicidal for the party to endorse the
Pawtucket man.
In relation to DIR. Garvin's sentiments TO
another term IL is understood that Gov.
Garvin was in the hands of his friends
and OF the party and II he was called upon
TO occupy the executive chair for a third
ability.
The statement authorized by Mr.. Sulli-
van and which he signed. is as follows:
Senator Aldrich, the guardian In the
United States senate OF the interests of
the trust system which is despoiling the
people OF the country OF their substance
by extortionate exactions which are felt
In the Increase In the cost OF living, is
doomed to certain defeat II the Democ-
racy OF Rhode Island nominates a ticket
IN harmony with the national ticket
The best sense and the majority OF the
party In the country agreed that success
was promised by the nomination OF Alton
B. 4arker OF New York for president.
NOW OFFERS HIMSELF.
This choice involved the rejection OF
William r. Hearst for whom major
.sty of the Rhode Island delegates voted
under the leadership of Mr. Fitzgerald.
The wisdom Of that rejection Is now
proved by the alton of Hearst I'm indors-
ing the imperialtic policy OF Roosevelt. I'm
the demand upon Parker 10 declare for
the income tax and government by in
Junction, issues not ratified by the ma
tional plotform, and in the disguised at
= tacks- upon the Democratic ticket by the
wholesale advertising OF the Populst can
didate for president
The nomination OF Hearst would have
been equivalent to presenting Roosevelt
with the next presidential term. MIR
Fiazgrald favored the nomination OF
Hearst declaring for him after he was
safely elected delegate 10 the national
convention ,and putting Rhode Island in
the ridiculous position OF voting for him
In company with the other Islands OF
Porto Rico and Hawaii
He now offers himself as n candidate
for governor. His Judgment is this case
Is as bad as In the case OF Hearst. His
nomination would be a cowardly surren-
der to the Republican party at time
when success for the Democracy is prac-
tically assured.
DEFEAT WOULD BE ovERwHEI.M-
ING
Mr.. Fitzgerald would be defeated by a
tatbtf lndn any olntr candidate
the party would think OF nominating
The Democrats of Rhode Island. the men
IN the ranks. the men who vote the ticket
not for reward in offices or otherwise
know that this Is the fact and they do not
want him foisted on the party by the few
men who are shouting for him In the hone
that rewards OF some kind will come 10
them by his nomination.
The Republican machine confronts n
desperate situation ard Senator Aldrich Is
nervous about the result. His newspaper
organ is industriously engaged in the ne
culiar performance OF assuring the Demo-
cratic party a candidate for governor I'm
the person OF Mr.. Fitzgerald.
IL is a singular fact that but for that
Republican organ the Democrats would
not know that Mr. Fitzgerald was To be
even considered as a candidate.
The Republican campaign manager
would be wise IN he were 10 spend all OF
the money at his command for the sup
port and compensation OF missionar ries.
. no would out among -p1Inaarats :
and preach the cult OF F1tzgeraldsm The
result OF the election would not be In
doubt for one moment The Republicans
would have a walkover
The Democratic party NAV fall into the
trap. but nobody but fool or a knavo
viii lend assistance TO the carrying out of
the scheme.
HOT CAMPAIGN PROMISED
The honest Democrnts OF Rhode Island
can be assured that with the nomination
