PEOPLES IDOLS GREETED
WITH WILD ENTHUSIASM

Prof. William Macdonald Of Brown uni
versity was the next speaker. and said in
part:
III, as the result OF your votes tomor-
row, you can drive Brayton and Bray
tonism from the state house; retire from
office and power the men who have be-
trayed and sold out the state, rebuke the
respectable citizens who have been willing
to sell their birthrights for mess OF ma
chine pottage, send Col Goddard TO the
senate and return Mr.. Granger 10 the
house. you will have done the best day
work ever done i'm Rhode Island
Hon. Rathbone Gardner was given a
genuine ovation when he was introduced
and among other things said:
II want to call your attention TO the Ut
ter insncerity of the issues which the
Republicans have presented IN this cam
naiRn. Every Republican leader In Rhoce
island now has It that there's no issue but
Hearstisp1. They have dropped the Re
publicanism OF Abraham Lincoln, they
have admitted that there Is boss, after
Gov litter led the way to confession,
and they have substituted the cry or
Hearst That Is fake.
''The next issue If whether the people
OF Rhode Island shall be represented In
the United States senate by Robert II. I.
Goddard or Samuel Pomeroy Colt. George
Peabody Wetmore has spoken his vale
dictory.
Even George Peabody Wetmore is bet
ter than what we will have IL the Repuo-
lican party wins. over the private ana
personal life OF Samuel Pomeroy Colt we
draw the mantle OF silence. His public
life we have the right To discuss. He Is
leader OF the combinations OF wealth
which menaces the security OF our nation
al institutions.
'I have made use of a term which bids
fair TO become historic. What is curious
is that so few people seemed TO UNDER
stand It, ] confess that / was puzzled
myself until this morning, when / read
that the chairman OF a Republican meet
ing at woonsocket introduced Adm b.
Capron as a 'dodderlng old wreck
Then L knew what a 'doddering old
wreck was. and ] can define It. A dod-
dering old wreck is a man who goes upon
the public platform and, rolling his eyes
heavenward, exclaims: God Almighty
loves the Republican party and when He
wants TO do anything for mankind He Sc
lects the Republican party as His instru-
ment.'
"A doddering old wreck is a man who
tries to befool the voters by discussing
national issues OF 1861 instead of the
Rhode Island issues OF 1906. Such a man.
whether he be young or old. no matter
what his physical vgor is mentally and
morally a doddering old wreck To no
other kind OF man have / applied the
term"
Thomas r. Kearney spoke OF the shad-
ow OF Braytonism as an eclipse upon the
political horizon of Rhode Island He
urged that when the voters go to mark
their ballots they do not stop for individ-
ualism but cast their ballots for the
whole Democratic ticket.

IF you do this" he said, you may rest
assuerd that Braytonism will vanish at
once and for all. unwept. unhonored and
unknown"
Colonel r.. III. I. Goddard was accorded
another tremendous ovation. The audi
ence rising TO receive him. and cheering
heartily, Col. Goddard said:
Gentlemen, the case OF the people OF
Rhode Island Is closed, and the verdict
will be given tomorrow. The evidence is
all in. II the case could be decided direct
ly by the people there would be no doubt
OF the outcome.
"As II is, we are reasonably sure OF the
election of James II. Higgins as governor.
and the anti-Brayton forces may fairly
hope TO secure a majority OF the house OF
representatives.
IF either Of these is achieved the end
of bossism is at hand.
What may be the outcome Of tomor-
rows election i do not know: but, what
ever II is, i stand pledged to continue the
fight until the disgrace now hanging over
our state has been removed.
Whether we are victorious tomorrow
or not, hope to end this campaign re-
tanning your respect and not disappoint-
ing your trust. i should infinitely prefer
political oblivion TO success gained on any
other terms.
Gentlemen, my parting word 10 you
is whether successful or not. persevere.
Your course is a holy one and IL must
eventually triumph
Thomas A. Carroll. John +. O'Connell,
Charles Sisson. candidate for lieutenant
governor: Prof. Courtney Langdon OF
Brown University. and Hon. James II.
Thurston all made speeches that aroused
great enthusiasm, Mr.. Thurston especial
ly.
The ovation given TO Mayor Higgins
when he was introduced lasted fully five
minutes. When Mayor Higgins was able
TO command a hearing he said:
/ am before you for two reasons only.
The first is that ! may pay my humble
tribute OF esteem 10 those sturdy patriots
who have waved aside party allegiance
and champoned the cause of anti-Bray-
tonism In this commonwealth.
1T requires infinitely more self-sacri-
five, more devotion to the cause OF anti
Braytonism TO do those things on the part
OF a Republican than on the part OF any
Democrat Therefore. a dozen times the
honor is due these men. Their services.
trust will never be forgotten.
"The second reason for appearing here
tonight is to call TO your minds again
the duty resting upon the first congress
sonal district TO return to Washington
Daniel l.. ID. Granger. We have seen him
attacked In a cowardly, mean and detest-
able manner. / want 10 see the people of
Providence put the stamp of their disap-
proval on these attacks.
Tomorrow night at this time may the
glorious tidings be flashed over the wires
that Rhode Island is again a free state,
and the despicable name of Braytonism.
the deplorable blot on the escutcheon of
our fair state, is wiped out once and for
ever"

Ex-Gov. L. +. c. Garvin was the prin-
cipal speaker at a big Democratic rally
at Manville last evening and said in part
'',Two years ago Gov. Utter was elected

cepted the tainted office, but he never

Although a lifelong Republican came

"The greatest dangers that confront our
