The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-15
DR.. GARv|N MAY NOT
Be A CANDIDATE
IN CUMBERLAND

1t would not be fair statement to say
that DR. Garvin is entirely out OF the leg
islative fight In this town this fall, and
yet IL would look now as though he will
not be candidate OF his party for
place In the lower house. The reason
for this is that all or the three gentle
men who have served the town in the
legislature year ago have expressed a
desire TO become candidates again this
year, and DIR. Garvin has repeatedly de-
clared he will make no contest for nom
ination. He said from the first he would
like very much 10 go on the floor OF the
house next winter, because he believes
the Democrats are TO have a majority,
and in that case he feels he would be
able TO accomplish some good. But In
spite OF the earnestness OF this desire
his wish for party harmony is still great
er, and II none Of the three gentlemen
cares 10 drop out he will make no effort
TO secure the nomination.
This Is certainly good news to the Re-
publican machine leaders OF the state.
There Is no Democrat in the state whom
they fear as they do DIR. Garvin. unless 1t
is John j. Fitzgerald OF Pawtucket His
steady. untiring perss.ency, disregardng
all defeats and always rising superior TO
conditions. has been a menace TO them
for years and they felt when they learned
that he was a candidate for the general
assembly nomination that there was
trouble ahead. Later when they learned
that there was doubt about his securing
the nominate tion they were pleased. and IL
may be said with no reflection upon the
other gentlemen who last year represent
ed the town in the assembly that their
presence I'm that body will not be given
second thought from the state leaders
so long as they stick 10 that determina-
tion 10 run.
