is not the chief one sought TO be by the forces
of reform. Braytonism is the objective, and the
question that confronts the people s "Shall the
people of Rhode Island, through honest, capable
and independent representatives in the general as
sembly rule this state, or must we continue to
bear the yoke imposed upon us by Brayton and his
machine, and bow our necks to tribute"
more singing indictment of corrupt boss
and bosssm was never framed in any state than
that which Colonel Goddard presented to the vast
and responsive throng OF his fellow citizens in his
Infantry hall address.
The speakers who followed him were no less
emphatic, no less forceful in impressing upon the
electorate that the present duty of every sincere
citizen is to aid in the restoration of real repre-
sentative government through the destruction Of
Braytonsm.
Prof Macdonald pictured Braytonism with
fidelity and truth, when he declared it "was born
of sordid selfshness. it has been nurtured on the
fruits of systematic corruption, and has been
brought to mature years by bribery, intrigue and
fraud and today as for years past it aunts its cor
ruption and its power before our eyes, snaps its
fingers impudently in face, lays its heavy hand
upon us if we dare oppose it, and brazenly, asks
us what we propose TO do about it."
donald's final appeal TO the manhood of Rhode
Island. There are offered to you today two ban
ners, one bearing the single word 'Braytonsm,'
the other, Rhode Island Under one of those ban
ners every man must enlist. Can we doubt for one
moment which of these two demands our allegi-
ance?"

thinking men to enlist in the ranks of the
forces of righteousness, and help to destroy

lofty Office in the Banigan building displays a
banner on which public Offices are offered for sale
to the highest bidder To Colonel Goddard he
pledged the hearty support of Democrat and the
aid of an humble citizen of Rhode Island
"prouder of his citizenship than of his Democracy"
Those outbursts of applause, those ringing
cheers that punctuated the addresses meant some
thing. They were the expressions of that militant
spirit that pervades the state and that prompts
the loyal citizens TO rally around the banner of
reform and righteousness
Rhode Island sent her Hopkins TO help destroy
Britain's thraldom, that a free and independent

Eoroeries of a Quarter Million.

Forgeries for more than d quarter
of a million dollars by Frank Nipple,
the suicide president of the wrecked
Real Estate Trust company of Phil
Sadelphia. have been discovered by Re-
ceiver Earle. The latter made this
statement Friday night, adding that
ne had no idea where Nipples villainy
would end. Nipple, in order to meet
his immense overdrafts, used the
names of some of the most prominent
business men of the city on notes
which in some cases amounted to
s150,000
The president took copies of sigma
lures of a number of business men
while some of their checks or nego-
table securities passed through his
lands, but in every case he avoided the
use of the name of q Real Estate Trust
company depostor.
When pinched for money to meet his
overdrafts or some big loan Mr.. Earle
said as a last resort Nipple would
draw up a note with the forged sigma
ture attached. This he would take to
the cashier or paying teller saying he
lad personally made the loan and 1t
was discounted. With the amount to
lis credit he would satisfy the press
ing claim.
Receiver Earle said last night that
In order to accomplish the reorganiza-
ton of the Real Estate Trust company
ne would accept the presidency If the
6epositors insisted.
