The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-07-24

time
1t was natural there should be a feel
| ing tnat the machine had not abandoned
it's plan, but had simply tponed action
till a later date. II is among the posi-
bilities that the trick may still be pulled
! off, but there Is good reason TO believe
| the men who control things have agreed
] that II Will be unwise I'm view OF all the
! conditions TO take any action Whatever
in relation TO police matters
IL Is a fact that the Republicans are
going to make the hardest kind OF a
fight to capture the office of mayor the
coming fall and the politicians do not
care TO do anything that will help to en-
danger this plan. 1t Is felt that with
| Mayor Higgins out OF the running and
new Democratic candidate before the peo-
| pie, there is "a better chance 10 elect a Re
publican than for "a good many years past.
1t he also felt that any move towards
| change I'm the police force would meet
with a great deal OF opposition from the
| people who would feel that cowardly
advantage had been taken OF the mayor,
whose III health compelled him TO leave
| his post at this time.
1t is this reason and this alone which
will prevent any action being taken and
| whether or not II will be possible TO stave
off the hungry ones remains To be seen.
| IL must be remembered that these party
leaders are having their own troubles be-
/
| cuse OF not having control of the mayors
| office when the faithful wanted places on
| the police force, lnat excuse does not ex-
| list at present. There are plenty of the
workers who are laboring for what there
| is in II. They want the plums and they
want them badly too. They care very
! little about who is going TO be mayor OF
who will be elected toythe general assem-
bly, next fail What they want is an
office now and they don't like to be put
/ off with any excuse of this kind.
OF course these men have their friends
| and those frien~s are pretty insistent.
They demand immediate action and they
are threatening all kinds OF revenge un-
| less something Is one. 1t may be that
| they will not be put Off and IL their de-
mands become too strong the entire pro-
| gram may be carried out. But judging
from the present outlook II would be a
fair guess that when the machine de-
cided last Wednesday not to make any
change In the head OF the police depart
ment II was made to stand at least un-
till aIter the next election There Is a
possibility that the two names which
vacancies on the force will be turned
down and that Acting Mayor Wood may
name two other persons who will be con-
firmed ana that this alone will consti-
tute the police legislation during the alb
sence of the mayor.
CONTINUED PROSPERITY.
IL seems quite apparent that the Max
well Briscoe Automobile company, which
| operates a plant in this city is enjoying
| It's share OF prosperity along with the
| numerous other concerns I'm Pawtucket.
! The firm started the Manufacture OF ma
chimes here about a year ago and located
I'm a building on Division street Very
soon after they began here they also Sc
cured lease OF the Hope Thread mill.
which at the time was vacant 1t was
stated then that the lease OF the two fac
tories was for a year and that IL busi-
ness was good the firm might remain. Ii
is now stated that another lease has been
taken OF the two properties. showing that
the business is probably equal to the ex-
pectations OF the company
The Maxwell Brscoe people are manu-
featuring car which Is considered
I among the very best in the market Its
use has not been very great through the
eastern country. although since the firm
started there have been quite number
OF the machines purchased by Pawtucket
people and they are said to be meeting
with general approval OF their owners. II
win be matter OF satisfaction to learn
that the firm intends TO remain here for
a time at least.
