In his introduction OF Mr.. Morgan
Col. Samuel A. Pearce paid a tribute
to his record in the legislature and
added that his efforts toward perfect
Ing the judiciary system furnishes a
good example OF what he would do IL
again elected Mr.. Morgan in part
spoke as follows:
IT see that the Democratic party has
said that we have gone back 40 years
TO get campaign material; but I will
confine my remarks to the present.
"This is a vituperative campaign. Our
opponents think IL advisable TO attack
the fair name OF our state, our party
organization and in some cases the con-
stitution OF Rhode Island.
They have held us up as a state
vile with corruption. and have sent
this abroad. through the magazines OF
the country. The constitution they
have said was antiquated. A consti-
tuition is made to stay; and 1t Is a thing
that you want TO keep stable. You can
not call "a years old age.
They think II keeps from them the
ssins Of state government. IL II was
according to their desires 1t would oe
all right. otherwise II would be an
tiquated and they would want II
changed.
Can they keep their promises7 They
are trying something impossible. They
are acting above this level; and their
promises can't possibly he carried out
al nf been
attacked by its own citizens
There Ia no man on the State ticket OF
the opposing party who will be any Inn
proyement over the men we are trying to
elect.
1.-The Republican party's record does
not show anything harmful TO the state
When they accuse US OF selling legisia-
tion, why should they not point out how
and where II has done any injury?
They criticise our organization and
say that the influence OF the head acts
upon the members Is this not natural?
We can't be independent as long as we
have an organization. nor can they. Can
they be independent In the Legislature
when the different members have the In
terest OF their respective towns at
heart.
1T Is not alone that they will make
laws that viii be inimicable 90 the inter
ests Of the citizens. but you know that
when law Is repealed II IS some time
before IL ceases 20 act.
when n man has done nothing and
criticlses others and says he can do
better, you at once wish % know what he
has done: and n n is nothing you must DO
cautious about trusting him. A gooo
criticism Is to Judge the future by the
past.
''Pawtucket Is controlled by the Demo-
Gratis. II ~ I'm any way better than Prov
idence7 Did they suppress the street car
riots any better than we did. o. as we'll?
Warwick is town controlled by the
Democrats Are things any better than
when Republicans had control?
''SlnHe the Republicans have had con-
troll OF the legislature. have they not done
better than when the Democrats were IN
control In the town.
when the house was In control of the
Democrats. there were some uply stories
nhoat TO the effect that you had 20 buy
the members 20 incorporate a firm. Will
they do better IN the future than they did
in the past7
"The Democrats almost drove this state
in 81 or ~ TO Addlcksism: and ii 81 had
not been for the defeat OF the Addck bin
b. the Republicans. this state would now
be suffering the same as Delaware. Be
fftvp uTHn. II Was het-tAR4-gh- the efforts
OF a Democratic house that we escaped
Are we more likely 90 tend 20 Addlcksism
with a Republican assembly than with a
Democratic? Are we safer under Re-
publican regime or a Democratic regime7
Compare our past records.
I'VE want the fair name OF the state
elise TO the head OF the list OF the pro-
gressive states OF the day. III they Will
~ it--and they form a good portion Of
lhs state-they ara bofouling their own
