NO CONTESTS IN SIGHT
Rhode Island Democrats Look for
 Harmonious Convention.

Providence, R. l., Oct. 12-With no important contests for nominations, and little difference of opinion as to the platform to be adopted, the demo- cratic state convention in this city to-day opened with every promise of harmony. The plank in the platform upon which chief emphasis would be laid was expected to be a declaration in favor of reappOrtionment of the legislative representation.
 It was anticipated that Lucius F. c. Garvir, governor of Rhode Island for two terms up to last January, would be nominated for that office again to-day by exclamation. For lieutenant governor the nominee seem- ed likely to be either J. Clark Tucker Hayes of Pawtucket. The other nom- nations were expected to be: For sec retary of state, Frank F.. Fitzslmmons of Lincoln; for general treasurer, Al bert H. Olney of Providence; for at torney general, Thomas A. Carroll of Providence.
 At 10 o'clock the democratic state central committee held a short pre- limInary session at the office of the state chairman, Patrick H. Quinn, the usual routine business preparatory to the starting of the convention being transacted. It was agreed by the party leaders that James H. Thurston of Providence should be the candidate for lieutenant governor.
 The following were the nominations made at the convention this after noon: Governor, John J. Fitzgerald, of Pawtucket: Lieutenant Governor, Joseph E. Thurston. of Providence; Secretary of State, Frank E. Fitzsim- mons, of Lincoln; Attorney General. Thomas A. Carroll, of Providence; General Treasurer, Albert H. 0lney, of Providence.

WIND OVERTURNED WAGON

This morning the gale OF wind which
played pranks with the citizens. blowing
dust into their eyes and sending them
after hats in all directions. played clever
joke on an advertising wagon as Il was
crossing Washington bridge. over the
Seekonk river.
The team was an express driven by two
boys and bore an advertising transparency
telling of n land sale IN East Providence.
The sign was In the shape OF an army
tent.
When the wagon reached the end OF
the draw cnarest TO the city a gust OF
wind which the boys seemed 10 think
was a gale struck the wagon broadside
and the first the youngsters knew they
were rolling over on the walk and scram-
bling To their feet Luckily the horse TO
which the wagon was htohed was one
~ those that take things philosophcally
and though the harness was n little awry
the animal waited TN it was readjusted
and the wagon was righted.

WEAVER
CONTROLS
SITUATION

Philadelphia. Pa. May 25.-It is the gen.
eral opinion that Mayor Weaver, for the
present controls the situation In his fight
with the Republican leaders over the pro-
posed lease OF the city gas works.
Developments today are expected to
come from the Organization" Insurance
Commissioner Durham and his lieutenants
were in conference today at Mr.. Durhams $
request.
Later he visited United States Senator
Penrose and was In consultation with him
for some tome. There is no longer any de-
NAL that Impeachment proceedings
against the mayor have been seriously
considered by the leaders and their legal
advisors
Those who advise against this step ar
que that any attempt TO impeach Mayor
Weaver now would only strengthen his
position with the public.
Just now the attitude Of the members OF
the council is giving the leaders almost
as much concern as any other feature OF
their contest with the mayor.
Both sides are preparing for next
Thursdays meeting OF councils when, un-
less something intervenes. the mayor will
forward his veto OF the new gas works
lease ordinance TO both branches.
: The organization" leaders. Mr. Dur
announced confidently that there will be
no trouble whatever in passing the lease
over the mayors veto
The mayor and his friends are becoming
more confident every day that they will
be successful in blocking the "organiza-
tons plans and that the vote will
stand Every effort Is being made to in
duce councilmen who voted on May IS in
favor Of the lease TO sustain the veto.
Extraordinary pressure is being brought
to bear wherever councilman shows
signs OF weakening In one instance
committee OF determined citizens hunted
nearly all night for a member of select
council, who was obviously avoiding
them.
Early in the morning the committee
appeared at the mans house. routed him
out OF bed and while ne stood parefooted
In his night clothes. read their resolutions
TO him and extracted from hi ma promise
10 change his attitude and sustain the
mayors veto.
Wherever a 'gas lease" councilman
appears in public he is beseiged by a
camorous demand that he vote I'm the
interest of the people" on the pending
question. IL Is claimed that since last
Thursday five members of select council
and nine members OF the common branch
have been induced to change their vote
and sustain the mayors proposed veto.
There are 43 members OF select council
and nine votes are thus far claimed To
sustain the veto. Should the mayor win
six more TO his side the opposition will
not have the necessary two-thlrd vote 10
defeat the veto. The mayors opponents
are working hard 10 prevent breaks i'm
their ranks and they claim that next
Thursdays vote will defeat the mayor.
