The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-07-30

OF confirmation by the Republican alder
men.
1t was settled then that the chief OBJ
lection raised TO him was that in one Of
the political parades two years ago he
carried a banner which did not extol the
virtues OF Bernard Keenan, a one-time
Democrat who Is now considered as one
OF the Republican triumvirate which con-
trolls the city government. OF course.
this was "crime" In the minds OF these
men which could not be condoned, al
though II Is barely possible that some
OF the men whom the Republican machine
will favor for the vacancies may at some
time or other have identified with their
party, but OF course that is quite anothes
matter.
FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.
IL will undoubtedly cause a broad smile
on the faces OF some OF the citizens OF
this city TO learn that Acting Mayor
Wood has ordered the police 70 prevent
the carrying out OF boxing exhibition"
which was advertised TO take place in
this city this evening by one Of the local
societies.
Shortly before Mayor Higgins left the
city IL is said he gave a permit TO a local
organization TO hold an athletic exhibit
ton I'm Music hall. In which there was TO
be one or two amateur boxing bouts.
When the Republicans heard this they
held up their hands I'm holy horror. They
could hardly understand how any man
could be willing 10 have such an affair
take place I'm Pawtucket and the amount
OF briny tears that were shed In the city
hall because OF the great degradation
which had fallen on the city because Of
this action OF the mayor came very near
flooding out some OF the offices-that Is
acQordiney m tho otnri0Q which told
Now the same or another organization
wanted 10 have another entertainment of
a similar character but Acting Mayor
Wood declares that he will have the en-
tire militia OF the state called out II nec-
essary 10 prevent such n calamity. II Is
certainly a noble ambition which actuates
the acting mayor in his attempt 10 keep
fair and unsullied the name OF the city,
but It is a great pity that his other Off
clal acts are not fully in keeping with
this one.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON CONCERT.
There was another big crowd out at
Slater Memorial park yesterday afternoon
when Fay's Second Regiment band gave
n concert which was by far the best one
which II has given there this year. The
weather was ideal for those who came
out to listen TO the music and the drive
ways OF the park were filled with car
riages and automobiles while many hun
dreds OF people patronized the electrics,
which gave excellent car service.
