The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-14

The Republicans here, or at least those
who believe the responsibility OF naming
candidates for the coming election rest
upon their shoulders. appear TO be in n
stew, as there are no less than three can
didates now in sight for the place now
held by Councilman f. ]. San Souci, who
last June announced TO the ward COM
mittee that under no condition would he
be a candidate for reelection, owing to
the fact that It took up too much Of his
time At the time the committee thought
Mr. San Souci would change his mind and
as he is the greatest vote-getter in the
ward the committee feels that II needs
him TO pull the Republican chariot out OF
the mud, but Mr.. San Souci told them a
day or two ago that he Is OF the same
mind still and will not change
Among those who would like 70 step
into Mr.. San Souci's political shoes is
John Barrow, who few years ago butted
in and two good government men were
elected instead OF Republicans, so the
committee does not look upon him with
much favor.
Another name mentioned is that OF DR.
II. r.. Windsor, who Is president or the
Eighth Ward Republican club. HIS
friends think he has an excellent showing,
but as near as can be learned Thomas
Walch, who is known as a true blue Re-
publican, and his friends say they Will
land him. At any rate, much work is be-
ing done to get things in readiness for
the battle.
