The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-15
ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.


SLAMS who have been repudiated by the decen
Democracy for their treachery, there is convincin!
evidence that Braytonsm has even thus early il
the campaign begun the of its corruption funds
These miserable traders in their own dshono
never work for principle, for such thing is un
known 10 them.
Money is the only influence that appeals t.
their callous natures inctes them TO action
For money they have betrayed and will continue
TO betray the Democracy, il the decent element o
the party is not constantly vigilant in guarding
against their malehc attempts to secure control o
the party organization.
The contemplate traffickers in party Treason
utterly without conscience or scruple. Nc
trick however low, no knavery however mean, will
be left untried by them in order to carry out the
shameless plots and desperate schemes for which
Braytonism employs and pays them
They have never been of the Democratic party
because they have never been Democrats. They
are simply loathsome parasites who fastened them
selves upon the organization before their true
character was known, and who, while processing
loyalty to its principles basely sold it far they
could sell it, TO the political enemy in whose service
they were and are
Today these political assassins are conspirng
TO seize control of Democratic caucuses in this
city. They are urged to unwonted activity by the
promise of corruption fund larger and therefore
more alluring than was ever hitherto dangled be-
fore their echerous eyes. They will hesitate at nc
chicane to win the filthy reward They are out for
Braytonism's money and they will sacrifice every.
thing and everybody to earn it.
1t is against this despicable band of Swiss mer
cenaries the decent Democracy must contend ir
the caucuses now near at hand, and it is, there
fore of transcendent importance that every sincere
member of the party be prepared to do mans par
in the work OF whipping them out in contumely
and disgrace.
Already they have been branded. The re
organized party authority has pilloried them il
their dishonor so that all honest men may know
them, and knowing thrust them out from every
meeting of honest Democrats they have the hardi
hood and impudence to attend.
These harpies plotting mischief and m
man who has the honor of his party and the wei
fare Of the community at heart will fail to atten
the caucuses to insure the defeat and the rout Q
these political Tscariots whom Braytonism is EN-
ploying in its desperate attempt to maintain it
malign dominance in the commonwealth.
Had the rank and file of the Democracy bee
less inert and inactive in the past the traitorou
element would never have been able to gain lodg
ment within the organization 1t would neve
have succeeded in securing party Offices an
would, therefore, have been powerless to injur
the Democracy or help Braytonism.
There can be compromise and no temper
izing with these wretched counterfeit Democrat
in the coming caucuses. They must be Tough
TO finish. They must be whipped so merciless
that the scars will endure for lifetime as the in
escapable brand OF their own infamy placed upo
them by the hand of party they traitorously be
trayed.
No longer can the Hessians count upon parti
police to aid them in throttling the will of tn
voters and substituting their own ignobe wishes
chief OF police convicted OF attempted conspirac,
to ruin the good name and reputation of citizei
OF this commonwealth will not be permitted (,
give assistance through his subordinates to tn
fuglers in any attempt they make 20 override th
verdict of the honest Democracy
The work before the sincere members of tn,
party is vitality important Ii must not be shirkeC
or allowed TO 60 by default The Democracy car
triumph in this city and state next November i
II is wise in the selection of its candidates ant
loyal in supporting them at the polls
But 10 make sucf a triumph certain the homes
Democracy must crush the mercenaries in the eau
cuses That done the march to victory will b.
straight and irresistible.
