CENTRAL FALLS
REPUBLICANS TO
HOLD CAUCUSES


The Republicans OF Central Falls VIII
hold their caucuses this evening in the
several wards of the city. and tomorrow
evening is the date set for the city con-
vCntion. So far as the caucuses are con-
ccrred there are no contests expected ana
no one knows what will be done at the
convention. The delegates to the state
and congressional conventions will be
named and then IL is possible there VIII be
an adjournment.
1t does not appear that the party has
been able to secure a candidate for mayor
o. for the head OF the assembly ticket.
l. is quite probable that Il will be easy TO
select the three candidates for the lower
house because Fred F.. Newell and Peter
Glare are both out for the nomination ana
II is probable that the other candidate VIII
be selected from the French speaking
voters.
But there Is no senatorial or mayoralty
candidate in sight. There has been some
talk about naming Joseph w Freeman
for the former place. II Is said that Mr..
Freeman would like 10 go 10 the state
senate following the footsteps or his
father. who served so many years as a
member of that body. But Mr.. Freeman
would not have much OF a chance for
winning against Senator John w. Reming-
ton, although Il Is believed that he would
| be the strongest candidate the party has
nominated for this place In several years.
| The position which is causing the great
! est trouble in filling is that OF the candi-
| date for mayor. There are those who
have believed that this was the Job roi
| which Alderman Smith has been MAX
| ing a play and II Is a great pity that
| he will not be nominated. IL is unfortu-
| nate because Il would give that gentle
| man n chance 10 realize what the people
OF this city think OF his acts as mem
Der OF the board OF aldermen during the
| recent investigation. With him as can
| didate for this place his political oppon-
ents would not be called upon TO make a
| fight that was worthy OF the name. II
| would be almost a shame 10 take the
| money.
| There has been some talk again this fall.
| as there has been for two years past. TO
the effect that the two factions in the Re
| publican party were going to unite in har-
mony and work together this year. This
| talk has brought forth the rumor that
some OF the men who were members of
the first city government might be In
duced TO take a hand In things this year
1. certainly shows a spirit OF repentance
to hear this talk because II is very evil
dent that the party machine Is aware of
its own shortcomings. 1t apparently real
ICES that the calibre of the men who are
now members OF the city government is
very far below the standard Of those who
took up the reins a few days after II was
voted to adopt city charter for Central
Falls I'm 1895. IL is very doubtful how
ever II any of these men can be In
duced TO get into the game this year.
They have been watching the situation
f1r two or three years past and IL is
scarcely likely that they will lend any
assistance so long as the men who are
manipulating the Republican machine
now continue at the helm.

Kay. a Pole. was fined $50 and costs
