The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-10-24

M the politics they want during the mex
two weeks From this time till election
day there will be rally OF some kin,
about every night and on some evening
there will be two or three 10 divide In
Interest. Democrats and Republicans ar
both waking up and II is probable tina
this city will be the special hotbed Of tn
whole state.
There are special reasons for this. Ir
the first place. II is the home OF the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor and that
fact alone would naturally make an in
oentive for his friends TO put in a little
extra work. Then a year ago the Re
publican candidate. Gov. Utter, carried the
city. getting a small plurality. which was
the first time a Republican plurality for
governor had been given here in quite a
good many years. Again. II is a we'll
known fact that the Pawtucket Dem
ocracy Is the active force behind the pres
ent Democratic movement in the state.
and all OF these things will combine TO
make this city pretty lively.
MANY RALLIES.
Both OF the leading parties have planned
20 hold numerous rallies. The Democrats
declare they are going to give to Mayor
Higgins the largest plurality ever given TO
candidate for governor from this city.
On the other hand. the Republicans are
out TO keep that plurality down TO its
lowest possible point. OF course. every
one admits that there will be a plurality
for Mayor Higgins and II Is only a ques
tion OF the size on which there is any
difference.
IL had been intended that there would
be Republican rally In Pothier hall last
evening which would be addressed by Con-
gressman Capron and Hon. Aram j.
Pothier OF Woonsocket. for whom the
club was named. II was. however. found
necessary to change the date OF this meet
ing and II Will be held tomorrow evening
in the same place
Tonight there will be an open air meet
Ing at the -Four Corners" in the Wood
lawn district. This will be a Democratic
meeting and II will be addressed by John
j Fitzgerald Peter c. Cannon OF the
Tenth ward. Providence Thomas p. Cor
coran. candidate for mayor. and others.
Plans are under way for n big rally In
South Woodlawn. and II is said that both
OF the parties propose 70 have meetings
In that section OF the city.
On Thursday evening Of next week
there will be a rally IN Firemen's hall i'm
the Third ward The speakers will be
John j. Fitzgerald. Col =. III. Quinn OF
Warwick. James A. williams OF Prov-
ience. Robert Braley, Councilman Hughes

cratic candidate for school committee this
year.

IN this city and Il VIII be addressed by

street and there will be some good speak
srs
on Friday evening OF this week there
will be a Republican rally In Forestcrs

hat occasion Gov. Utter and former Sen
