The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-10-16

The Democratic Waru CauCuStS Nti'
held in Pawtucket last evening and there
was not a ripple OF excitement in any OF
them. II was evident that no one eX-
pected any contests because the entire
number OF votes cast at the wards IN the
whole city was 49, and OF this number 40
were cast in the Third ward
The small number OF votes was due
without doubt in most cases 10 the fact
that because OF the layout OF the ward
lines the Democrats have under ordinary
circumstances not the slightest chance
TO elect members OF the city council in
am except the Third ward
IT that ward there had been some talk
OF a contest, but n appears that the men
who propose to run in opposition 10 the
regular Democratic candidates did not
dare It. submit their cause to the voters.
Instead OF that they have fled nomination
papers with the city clerk. and II is
among the possibilities that these men
who claim they are Democrats but who
are afraid OF the verdict OF the Demo-
orstic voters OF the ward will receive the
endorsement OF the Republicans. II this
II not the fact then there will be a three
oornered fight in the ward this year and
even this will not help their cause any
because the ticket which was nominated
last evening Will without doubt be elect
ed next month
