The demand Tor a primary mas carried everything before it; the ticket nominated will do like wise.
 The good feeling among the candidates for primary honors ought to be maintained to insure the success of that ticket and hence it behooves every man who thus submits his name to make his campaign clean and thus prevent any ill feeling as well as insure the honest verdict of the people.
 A ticket nominated by the business men of Newport ought and will be able to secure the support of many colored voters, who want to see Newport grow, who want to see the administra- tion in the hands of successful business men, who will deal for the best interest of all in the dis position of the two big public utility. water and light, fran chises, which soon expire.

Not a single passenger in the rear

there were screams of men, women and
