TOO LARGE

There is considerable commotiou i'm the
general expectation, Colonel J. A. Bah
cock has announced that he shall be a
candidate for representative In general
assembly on the Republican ticket in op-
position TO A B. Crafts.
The caucus at which the assembly ticket
will be named comes tomorrow evening
and up to Monday morning the renomina-
tion of Mr. Crafts on the ticket was re-
garded as "A certainty.
An explanation OF the sources of. the evil
dent feeling against Mr.. Crafts is found
I'm the following summary of a statement
signed by Milo NJ. Clarke, member Of the
town council:
Mr.. Crafts was the chosen legal repre-
sentative OF the trustees of the Mechanics
Savings bank, OF Westerly, to aid them
i'm their attempt TO liquldate and settle
the accounts of the bank for the best In
terests OF it's depositors.
In three years time Mr.. Crafts has
drawn I'm salary and fees from the bank
the sum of about sl3,5oo. besides being al
lowed a generous sum for his expenses.
and the fees os other lawyers employed
by him OF no inconsiderable sums being
paid by the bank.
In conclusion, the statement OF Mr.
Clarke says:
Ten thousand dollars in a single foe.
collected on the spot! Voters of West
erly, how many OF you can show one
half that sum as the result of long years
of strict economy and honest living?
Now, [ ask. can we afford so high-priced
an attorney as our first representative
All freemen should attend the caucus, as
j. Alonzo Babcock has announced his can
didacy. There Is no question that he is
worthy the heartiest support that the Re-
publicans of Westerly can give It's cam
didate for first representative
Mr. Crafts considers the remuneration
he received for his services but just fees.
In the matter OF the single $4,000 fee.
charged for his successful conduct OF the
so-called "oil case in which he recovered
$50 900 for the bank Mr. Crafts asserts
that the fee was entirely consistent, In
fact most moderate.
Mr. Crafts does not think the matter
should be made a political issue ana re-
sents the attitude taken by the belligerent
Mr. Clarke.
