The street was crowded. or rather all
except the part that was torn up ahu
Just narrow alley was left In the middle
fcr the massage OF the cars and gave the
sneakers a chance TO get their breath for
another outburst OF oratory.
While the American band, led by Bowen
r. Church, which was stationed peslue
the steps at ~ Weybosset street played
a concert OF popular and patriotic airs
the young Republicans" who have been
voting for the last 65 or 20 years inspected
the comfortable new quarters which nave
eeen comfortably fitted up for the use OF

4. fitted with about 100 chairs and a big
oak centre table. laden last night with

There were campaign buttons galore and
cigars which aided In making the gather
ing have a social aspect till about S;lo
when Il was announced that the speak
ing would take place from the front steps
LIEUT.. GOV. UTTER.
President George Webb OF the club
made a few remarks OF an appropriate
nature and introduced Lieut.. Gov George
H Utter OF Westerly.
He proceeded to announce his apprecia-
t,on of the weather conditions by stating
he would keep his hat on as there was
mot much under IT," and said that the
Republican party stood for the same prin-
ciples I'm all parts OF the country. whether
Il was Maine OF California, New York or
Louisiana.
"a thing to be remembered is that the
candidates stand on the same platform
as the party and there is no doubt either
as TO the party's principles or the can
didates.
''The Republican party stands today as
It has for the past eight years for the
sound dollar. IL has taken no new position
IN relation 10 that question. This matter
was settled only since the Republican
party has been in control OF this state
OF ours as we took UP the issue when II
was n live one and stuck TO II ever since
"Our political opponents were not pre-
pared 90 meet the issue on that question
and the sponsors OF the chief candidate
did not know the position Of there man on
the sound money question. IL they knew
that the candidate differed from the rank
and file they did not dare 10 let the people
know OF IL at the time.
FOR PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
'"The Republican party stands also fol
the protective tariff. and where protection
and support is needed IL IL given. whethei
Il IL tho west or east or any section. II
Is the best for the whole country.
"The Democrats say that the protective
tarirf Is robbery and enforce this issue ir
their platform. but see what their can
didato says about H. He says that Will,
II Is robbery, but even if the party Il
successful I'm electing him. he VIII b'
poweriess 10 do anything on account o
the Republican congress. That shows
n r. only sop 20 catch votes and tha
the Democrats face both ways and ar
dependant upon the Republicans 20 de
fend them from the disaster which mus
come.
The Republican candidates are chosei
because they are known TO believe In tn
policies OF the party. Every man In tn
country has known Roosevelt for the las
D. years and Is familiar with his idea
and principles. which ne has openly ex
dressed.
