The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-10-09

The Republican caucuses In Central
Falls last evening were not particularly
exciting, but there was n lot I'm the result
which will interest the people. In the
first place II would appear there has been
revolt against Isaac II. Lawton, who
for the past year or two has been at
tempting to wear the mantle OF boss.
There is scarcely Republican In the city,
even OF the most pronounced type, who
believes he has made a success In this
game, but he has held on just the same,
until now the voters have evidently come
20 the conclusion that II was time he
stepped down and made way for another
man.
There were two contests I'm the five
wards. In one OF these Mr. Lawton and
what may be called the Republican ma
chine. won out. In the other the machine
went TO the wall. Strange TO say In the
other three wards the machine ala not
even have a ticket and as things stand
today the machine has the delegations
10 the city convention and the ward com
mite In one ward and the oposition which
appears TO be headed by John II. Barber
has control OF the other four wards.
Just what effect this is going 10 have
on the city council delegations remains
20 be seen. II certainly looks now as
though there would be some changes, but
this will be better known after the city
convention which is TO be held this even
ing. Whether or not there will be city
ticket named tonight has not been decid-
ed. II seems more than probable that II
will not be done, because the independ-
ent element which has secured control or
the convention may not be prepared yet
20 secure the best results from It's VIC
tory. IL has been said that Peter Clare
and Fred T.. Newell both want another
try at the general assembly. Mr.. Glare
is probably all right for he represents the
element which has secured control, but
machine man. and IL is quite possible that
the independents will decline TO give any
OF the plums TO the other side.
