The remarks offered by Mr.. Bryan in support Of
his amendment were convincing and forceful. He
declared: The glad time is coming when public
opinion will be more and a controlling force,
when the moral sentiment of one nation with affect

realize that war between two nations affects others
besides themselves The glad time is coming when

THURSDAY, JULY a6, 1906.
CAMPAIGN MENDACITY.

Fatuous indeed the managers OF Colonel
Colts canvass Tor the Republican nomination 10 the
United States senate If they believe they befool
the people of Rhode Island into accepting as true
their fabricated story that the president of the
Rubber Trust is opposed 10 bossism, otherwise
Braytonsm.
Political eMgency has been the cause of resort
to some vicious and questionable devices in this
state in years gone by, but nothing equalling in
folly and asinnity this latest claim of the Colt
champions can be found in the whole history of
campaigning in this commonwealth.
AS much do the people believe Colt is hostile
to Braytonism as that Satan's steady employment
is the rebuking of sin. What agency has projected
Colt into the present canvass? Is it the rank and
file of the Republican party
Not at all. 1t is Braytonism-the mischievous
machine that is more powerful that the Republican
party because it absolutely controls its policy and
its activities If it were not for Braytonsm Col
Colt would hear no call to the public service He
would be left undisturbed to manage his Rubber
Trust and to plan the further extension of his
money power by throttling competition in the bank
ing business.
There are none better aware that Braytonism
is the sole power behind Colts candidacy than the
who have been driven to the desperate ex-
tremity OF mendaconsly asserting that Colt is
opposed to bossism None know better than they
that Colt would be utterly impossible candi-
date without the support of Braytonism.
Could Colt and his friends hope to accomplish
what Braytonsm has acheved--the ousting of Mr.
Wetmore from the senatorial contest? Never!
Only the craft, the cunning and the sinister skill Of
Braytonism in the art of political chcane could
have made such result possible
The whole Colt campaign is based upon the
mschievous power OF Braytonism Upon that
power alone the Colt managers depend for the cleo
tion of general assembly that will give majority
in favor OF the Rubber Trusts president Brayton-
ism writes the platforms of Republican conventions
it elects the Republicans who sit in the general
assembly and it owns them during their tenure of
Office
What chance of being named even, much less
OF being elected, would Colt have if he were hostile
to Braytonism, Absolutely none, as his managers
are well aware.
Why then this preposterous assertion in his be-
half that he is opposed to bossism? 1t is nothing
more than barefaced and unblushng attempt to
deceive the citizens of Rhode Island; an endeavors
to induce themjto believe he abhors Braytonsm's
dangerous and disgraceful practices when as
matter of fact he purposes to profit by them.
This plain effort to deceive them might be in
measure successful if the citizens OF Rhode Island
were born yesterday AS it is it is gross affront
and gratutous insult their intelligence they will
not neglect TO avenge when they go to the polls
