SULLIVAN HANDLES THE
BOSS WITHOUT GLOVES

Edward NJ. Sullivan was given hearty
evidence OF popular appreciation OF his
qualities as a representative OF the ag-
gressive young Democracy. and spoke in
part as follows:
1--WE are American citizens living IN an
American state and entitled to an Amert-
can system OF government IL Is the fund
amental principle OF the American system
that the vote OF any one man should count
for as much as the vote OF any other

this state violates the essentially funda-

two days later come before a meeting and
defend the boss as being loyal friend.
II would not allow Charles r. Brayton
TO stand in front Of the door OF the legs-

touhole the members OF the general as
sembly with instructions as to how they
should vote upon this measure or that
and dictate to them their every action.
"One OF the first things that 1 would
do IL elected TO the governorshfp OF this
state would be to make things so hot for
that boss that he would be glad TO make

ing not merely positive success, but we
are seeking above everything else two
things; one. the overthrow OF the boss (;
and the other the election OF man TO

things that are TO be accomplished by
the election OF a Democratic and inde-

COL. GODDARD STANDS
FOR ENTIRE TICKET.

Col. Goddard spoke with great vigor.
and emphasized the telling points of his
short speech in a manner that made
deep impression. He said:
THE kind words spoken by your chair
man and the friendly greeting you have
given me make me forget that am an
interloper In a Democratic camp.
But Judge Fftzsimmons is correct 1t
is well known to him and to you all that
l am an Independent Republican. In ma
tonal affairs I have almost Invariably
been in accord with the Republican party
and II / had been I'm congress during
the last five years l should have yielded
a willing support TO those great measures
for the relief OF oppression and for the
welfare OF the country which Mr.. Roose-
welt has recommended and which are so
generally associated with him.
AT this juncture. however, we are
confronted in Rhode Island with condi-
tions wholly apart from mere party poll
tics. The fair name OF the state de-
mands that. however much men may diff
fer upon political and economic questions,
common honesty and a due regard for
the rights OF all should dominate both
political parties.
mo issue today compares in impor-
tance with the overthrow OF the Brayton
machine and Braytou dictatorship and
the restoration Of self government to the
people.
"Mr. James II. Higgins and the gentle
men who are associated with him on your
ticket are unalterably opposed TO boss
rule, and they do not hesitate to condemn
and denounce It in unsparing terms.
MY friends. thissis not the time for
timid criticisms, but for a resolute and
n a.. Aa. .tu
erable. wretched and degrading system
which has been riding rough shod for so
many years over the decent people of the
commonwealth.
IF / believed that Mr.. Higgins would
lend his support TO the construction OF

record proves that he Is incapable OF

and respect for the present chief ex
ecutive of this state, and although l
do not believe that he is likely to be
swayed by the orders OF any boss.
shall deem IL my duty I'm the coming
election TO give my entire support 10
the ticket headed by MIR. Higgins.
II believe that by so doing l can
best promote good government in this
state and the removal OF the present
malign conditions.
II admire Mr.. Higgins. not alone
for his ability. his captivating oratory
and his unsullied life, but because lie
is a man of courage, who does not deal
in glittering generalities nor in un-
meaning platitudes, but says what he
means, calls things by their right
name and strikes out straight and hard
from the shoulder.
