DEvL|N
TICKET HAD
BIG RALLY

one OF the most enthusiastic rallies ever
held in Ward was that OF last night at
Capitol hail on Chalkstone avenue in the
interest OF the independent nominees for
city council. the Democratic assembly and
state tickets. Those present were chiefly
property voters. Alderman Dunn had the
previous evening made some reflections
on members or the Independent city
ticket, and the members OF the latter
ticket who spoke certainly turned the
tables on Mr.. Dunn.
James j. Nolan. Jr., presided and urged
that the voters present see TO IL that all
their friends voted the Democratic assem-
bly, and state ticket. He declared that
the property voters OF the ward owed IL
10 themselves 10 elect the Independent
city council ticket, all OF whom were we'll
qualified TO advance the best interest OF
the ward and city.
The speaker urged the defeat Of the
constitutional amendment, which he de-
clared would rob Providence OF their in
huence In the assembly for many years
TO come.
Augustine Gibln was the first speaker
and showed conclusively that he and his
associates were opposed 10 members OF
the city council taking contracts or doing
work for the city that would require sub
serviency 10 the city hall ring.
MR.. CARTIER CARRIED THE CROWD.
NJ. Napoleon Cartier certainly had mis-
auditors with him from start 10 finish. He
is the new man TO the politics of the
ward, but he certainly showed that the
taxpayers of the ward would make no
mistake in electing him, provided they
wished their interests carefully looked
after. Mr.. Cartier took up the work OF
the tax assessors and soon convinced his
hearers that there had either been some
glaring incompetency or down right wrong
inflicted on taxpayers throughout the city
by the assessors.
Dealing with Alderman Dunn, Mr.. Car
tier showed the Inconsistency OF certain
arguments put forth by the alderman and
made a direct reply to certain criticisms
OF Dunn on members of the council ticket
Mr.. Cartier got an ovation woen he finish
ed his speech.
CANDIDATE DEVLIN SPOKE.
John l. Devlin. Esq, the candidate on
the Independent ticket for alderman, made
a very powerful plea for decency in the
conduct of caucuses and also a strong
argument against the present alderman s
continuation i'm office. Mr. Devlin said
the' property voters now had an oppor-
tunity I'm the seclusion OF the voting
booths TO pass fearless judgment upon
Dunn and his methods. Mr.. Devlin was
constantly applauded during his address.
William T. Nolan, another candidate on
the council ticket spoke briefly but effec-
lively in support of his fellow candidates
and of the needs OF the ward
The meeting came TO a close with an
appeal by the chairman, that the ward
roll up a large plurality for DIR. Garvin.
the Democratic representative, and city
ticket, and that the property voters send
Dunn and his associates to the rear
