speakers were Ex-Governor Lippitt. Gen
eral Dyer, James t. Freeman. Lieutenant
Governor Jackson and Albert A. Baker.

1.-TWO or three things are appealing to
the people Of this country at this election
The policy of the Republican party and
the platform on which II stands is that of
the first man Of the present generation,
Theodore Roosevelt. Another thing that
commends the Republican party to the in
telligent men OF the country is the doc
trnes OF the party. which have placed
America first among the nations OF the
earth.
The same policy should he maintained
every year in every state of the Union
and i'm Rhode Island the issues should be
met fairly and squarely; that the party
should not be content as some are to drag
in all the scarecrows possible and TO say
that unless they are adopted then the
state will go TO the dogs
"In New York paper, commenting
upon the statement that Rhode Island
must be saved the query was made as 10
what II had got 10 be saved for. Its in
dustries, it's wealth and its commerce
place it foremost among the first I'm the
land II was pointed out II Is poor grace
for the candidate running for office on
the opposite side to make such demands
Nor do we need people from Nevada to
save the state Al any rate j don't in
tend 60 be saved I'm that way"
Lieutenant Governor Jackson was the
second speaker He defended the Repub-
lican nominees. speaking in high terms Of
Governor Utter and General Dyer
The other speakers discussed the cam
