The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-11-07

! Republicans elected their candidates for
the school committee, still there Is no
great mourning I'm the Democratic camp
in this city. IL was great enough a vic
tory To have gained for the citys favor
ite son the high office OF governor of the
state. IL was great enough To have
rolled up a plurality of nearly 1000 for
Mayor Higgins. who will now proceed 10
carry out the promises which he made
In the campaign. While according to the
latest returns, he will not have a major
ity OF the general assembly, behind him,
still he will have "a sufficient following
In both branches OF the general assembly
to render the fulhllment OF those prom
lses possible. and no one who knows
James n. Higgins has any doubt that he
will do just what he has agreed to do.
His record OF one year I'm the Legislature
and four years as chief magistrate of this
city is sufficient evidence Of his SINGER
ity. He has not been given 10 foolish
boasting. or idle promises, and he will
make good on everything he has agreed
TO do.
