The theory is that the board should he

present incumbent seems 10 be satisfac-
tory 10 all classes OF citizens because OF
his ability integrity and experience and
the moral certainty that his continuance
in office means a continuance OF Chairman

1t is thought that Mr.. McCarthy's i'm
formal conference must have convinced
him last week that no Democrat. good or
bad, would be confirmed by the board. and
that the nomination of such man would
merely give the enemies of decent govern

tunity TO substitute for a clean. inde-

elects policy OF inviting the fullest express

OF appointing his successor. IL seems to
have resulted in a remarkable popular de-
mand for his reappointment with every
daily newspaper In Providence demanding
in the name OF the people and with theh
support the reappointment and election OF
Col. Gross on the score OF fitness for the
pace--a demand never before made, it
appears. I'm like case.
