The Republican managers have secured

for public meetings TO the end Of the cam
paign. and hence we are precluded from
securing an auditorium OF equal capacity
However, II II our purpose 10 secure these
gentlemen and others OF equal prominence
and II IL becomes necessary we will erect

While regretting the factlonal differ
ences that have arisyn among the Democ-
racy OF this city. I am confident that ere
the convention IL held II will be found
that the factions have united upon a oan-

able that Mayor Miller will he renomi-

There is no doubt OF the reelection Of
Mayor Boyle OF Newport or Mayor Hig-
gfns OF Pawtucket, and there II a se-
rious question whether woonsooket may
not elect a Democratic mayor. This will
probably be the place where the nght
will wax strenuous and be more closely
contested this year than heretofore En-
couraging reports are being received that
with the exception OF Providence the
party is hopeful, vigorous and we'll or
ganized, and that the people will see 10 Il
that the party which has been blind TO
their welfare and property shall receive
a most emphatic setback.

The succession OF glowing. prophetic
san press OF the state. notably the mouth
piece OF the Republican machine said Col.
Quinn. as 10 the results at the polls at
the November election. are not bern out
by the conditions that prevail throughout
the state. II should be remembered that
there are approximately 5000 additional
registry voters entitled to participate in
these elections. and special prominence
should be given TO the fact that In Provi-
dence Pawtucket and Warwick the regis
tration has been materially augmented.
HELPS DEMOCRACY. .
The history OF recent elections in this
state has demonstrated that whenever
there has been a large increase in the
registry vote that II has proven helpful
to the Democratic party. Hence II Is
fair to predict that in the two cities
specified where the Democratic voters
have been in the majority on popular
elections and also In the largest towns
OF the state where the returns indicate
a marked increase In registration, the
vote should naturally at this election
prove that the Democratic candidates on
the state ticket have received successful
endorsement
The Republican managers are assured
OF an abundance OF funds this year and
In fact as compared with those at the
disposal OF the Democratic party they
have always found them forthcoming.
From 1896 10 1902 the Democratic state
central committee never had at its dis
posal at the successive elections In ex-
cess OF $1,000 for the current expenses.
and yet despite the barrenness OF the
treasury they have succeeded In electing
their governor and congressman. the
mayors Of all the cities save Woonsocket
and increased their representation in the
legislature.
