RECEPTION ABANDONED.
There was an interesting meeting OF
the Pawtucket Lodge OF Elks at the head
quarters last evening the meeting being
presided over by Exalted Ruler James
Mckay Some little time ago the lodge
discussed the idea OF giving a reception
TO Mayor Higgins on his return from Cal
ifornia and a committee was appointed
and authorized TO go ahead and make
all preparations for this affair Accord
Ing 10 the plans which were well under
way this reception was going TO be quite
an elaborate affair and IL had been pro.
posed 10 invite prominent members of the
order from all parts OF New England 70
participate. But the whole thing is off be-
cause In letter which was received yes
terday from the mayor himself ne asks
that the lodge abandon the idea He ex-
pressed the very greatest appreciation for
the kindness which promptd this thought
but says that he would rather that IL be
not carried out and OF course when Mr.
Higgins wishes were made known II was
Immediately agreed to abandon the re-
ception.
There was a large attendance at the
meeting last evening and there were del
egations present from Attleboro, Taunton

GETTING READY FOR VICTORY.
The Democratic city committee held
its first meeting OF the season last<eve-
ming, and there was a lot OF important
business transacted
In the firt place the dates for the eau
cuses and conventions were fixed and
In addition TO that the committee acting
within the powers conferred by the eau
Gus law. took steps 10 prevent the attend
ance at Democratic caucuses OF such per-
sons as the party leaders believe are not
entitled TO have n vote In the selection
of Democratic candidates. The latter is
a radical departure on the part Of Paw
tucket Democrats. The plan has been
adopted by both the Republicans and
Democrats in Providence and Il has been
found that when the poser which is vest
ed in the committee is properly sued II
has brought good results. The right TO
discriminate between persons who claim
to be Democrats Is conferred in the act
providing for the regulation OF eau
cuses. II was given because In years
past II was found that many persons who
belonged TO one policital party have made
IL practice to take part In the caucuses
OF another party. In wards where one
party Is very strong many Of its. voters
are not needed at their own party caucus
and so they participate In the caucuses
of the other party. This made trouble.
but there was no way TO stop II until
the legislature gave permission to the
party committees TO make such regula-
tions as they deemed best for the con-
duct OF their party caucuses
For three or four years now the Repub-
lcans and Democrats OF Providence have
passed a similar resolution and while
there has sometimes been little fault
finding II was chiefly because the strik-
ing off OF names from the lists has been
done 10 vent personal spite II the work
is done I'm this city this year from the
broad standpoint OF securing the great
est success and value to the party there
will be no trouble. There is no reason
to expect any different and therefore
there is no necessity for borrowing any
trouble
The meeting last evening was largely
attended IL was presided over by Chair
man Butler and In the absence OF the
secretary. Thomas u. Kenney. the duties
OF that office were turned over to Frank
j. Mcdonald
Immediately following this the matter
Of fixing the dates for the caucuses and |
came up for discussion and |
II was finally decided 10 hold the caucuses |
for the election Of delegates To the city /
and state conventions and for the cleo |
ton OF members OF the ward committees |
on Friday evening. Sept 2S
IL was voted also TO hold the city con-
vention on the evening Of Friday, oct. /
), and TO hold the caucuses for the nom
nation Of candidates for the city council /
)n the evening Of Monday, oct. Is.
Chairman Butler gave notice that there
would be a special session OF the district
court next Tuesday evening for the issu-
,nce OF first naturalization papers.
II was voted that the size of the bal
OTIS 10 he used I'm the caucuses should be
he same as last year, four by eight
inches AMI after that the following resO-
