REPUBLICAN
SPIRIT RIFE
IN EXETER

The people OF Exeter. that town Of all
Rhode Island towns most quaint and least
Influenced by contact with the noisome
world OF affairs, were subjected on Sat
urday evening 10 the lively enticements
OF an up-to-date Republican demonstra-
ton.
There are difficulties TO be met with in
Exeter that tie Republican leaders can
utterly ignore when dealing with more
populous and we'll ordered communities.
Exeter people are few and far between
and there is no well defined central
portion towards which efforts may be di
rected.
The parade on Saturday evening was a
brilliant affair, judged by Exeter stand
ards, and was composed OF SO gorgeously
bedecked carriages containing rep
resentation OF the towns enthusiasts.
we'll furnished with light producers Of
many types. The procession was better
calculated 10 appeal 10 ones patriotic
sense than TO the sense of the artistic.
The line formed on Exeter hill and,
headed by the Davisville band. traversed
about a mile and half Of Exeter road.
which is not OF the smoothest type.
fetchin' up, as they say in Exeter, at Odd
After the procession had stepped out OF
its carriages and had formed in martial
array before tie hall. a Roosevelt-Fair-
banks emblem. a typical compaign ban
ner. was flung TO the night breezes being
awarded an ovation OF marked strength
and sincerity. The Davisvile band, puffed
and footed patrioticaly until the banner
was thoroughly raised
Then the parade and the crowd made an
entrance into the hall where Republican
spellbinders eagerly awaited them. AS
semblyman Philip Money presided. and
after starting a little ripple OF enthusiasm
with a few well chosen words, introduced
Judge Nathan b. Lewis OF the Second
judicial district who was warmly received
and caused the ripple speedily 10 assume
the appearance OF a veritable "comber"
OF responsiveness 10 the energetic utter
ances of Republican wisdom.
Judge Lewis dwelt upon pertinent
phases OF TIE campaign situation, discuss
Ing consecutively the issue at stake In
town, state and nation. and If the Re
publican spirit his words aroused was
commensurate with the tumultuous ap-
plause that marked the conclusion OF his
address, then Judge Lewis speech was
indeed 'all 10 the good"
Such matters as had been overlooked by
Judge Lewis were subsequently made use
OF by John Ogden. town treasurer Of
North Providence, and Judge Henry A.
Palmer OF the Eighth judicial district.
Both gentlemen proved able and interest
ing speakers an fully sustained the
standard set by the gentlemen preceding
them
The meeting was adjourned after the
serving OF refreshments had been ac-
complLshed.

IS SOLD

New Haven, Conn, Oct. Bit is def-
nitely announced to the Associated Press
that the New York, New Haven g. Hart
ford Railroad company. at a meeting
OF IL directors last Wednesday, all but
two being present. voted with substan-
tial unanimity 10 accept an option, offer
ed by Kuhn. Loeb g. Co.. on q majority
OF Ontario and Western stock The
price paid is S45 a share. ex-dividend, and
all arrangements for the temporary fin-
ancing. extending over some months.
have been made.
BY the new purchase the New Haven
company acquires about 500 miles OF
road. of which some $50 miles. west. of
Cornwall. n. Y, is in process OF double
tracking. The roadbed is IN excellent
condition, and the rolling stock sufficient
for present business. and much of it OF
an up-to-date standard
From Cornwall 70 Weehawken the
road has trackage rights over the West
Shore under a contract which has
about l75 years 10 run. based upon pas

also gives very large terminal privileges,
for the same period. at the West Shore
terminal properties at Weehawken.
The most important feature. however.
of the deal is the fact that for the
first time In New England railroad his
tory II gives a great New England car
rying corporation access 10 the coal
mines on the one hand and 10 the great
lakes on the other and by virtue OF the
latter extension, the power of regulat-
ing and naming Western trunk line
rates.
The immediate cost of acquiring the
Ontario and Western 10 the New Haven
road will be about 100000 a year. or
about $.000,o00 per year. IL the full
amount of stock is taken in.
The taking of the road will compel
immediate steps for the double-tracking
OF the system from the Poughkeepsie
bridge 10 New Haven and probably OF
the Highland division.
IL is pretty definitely understood that
the plan was opposed by the Trunk line
presidents, partly. on the ground OF al
legged disturbance OF present conditions,
but without effect upon the determina-
ton OF the New Haven board OF direc-
tors. 1t was argued that the taking OF
the Ontario and Western was exactly
analogous 10 the acquisition several
years ago of the Boston and Albany by
the New York Central.
