GARv|N WILL Be
A CANDIDATE IN
CUMBERLAND

Republicans in this town and all over
the state were delighted when they heard
the reports 10 the effect that DR.. Gar
vim was going 10 have trouble In get
ting the nomination which he has ex-
pressed desire for. But their Joy was
short lived because the reason for IL has
been completely done away with
When the doctor heard that Assembly
man Barry who il located In the same
voting district as is DIR. Garyin. wanted
another year and that he would object
TO the proposition that he step one side.
he Immediately stated that there would
be no contest for The place so far as he
was concerned. He thought, however,
that plan might be carried out which
would give him seat in the lower house
end yet would not ignore the claims OF
the other man.
This plan provides that Senator McKen-
ma. who has now served In the upper
house for four years shall retire and al
low the promotion Of Representative Bar
~ 10 his place. This would allow for the
nomination Of Or. Garvin without caus-
Ing any trouble.
This matter is now being carefully con-
soered and II seems more than probable
that IL will be carried out
UP TO THEIR OLD TACTICS.
IL is quite evident that the Republican
machine is up 10 It's old tactics and is
trying 10 cause hard feelings between
Or. Garvin and other members Of his par
~ In this town. II is plan that has
been adopted in years past whenever the
doctor has aspired for public office and
IL would seem as though the people OF
the town would fully understand the
whole situation. The fact OF the matter
is that the Republicans do not want Dr.
Garvin In the next house OF representa-
tives. They fully realize the power and
influence he exerts there, and they will
do everything that is possible TO create
dissensions which will keep him from
running in the first place and then II
against all their efforts he finally gets
the nomination they will leave no stone
unturned 10 prevent his election.
IL would seem that this wonderful plan
for this year at least had originated I'm
that over-ripe brain which dictates the
political policy OF one OF the Providence
newspapers II is quite in line with other
schemes that he has carried through in
years past, and he apparently seems to
believe that he can fool the people OF
Cumberland as he seems 10 have on other
occasions fooled the people OF other
places But Cumberland Democrats are
not taking their instructions from any
such source this year. There Is going 10
be no trouble between DR.. Garvin and
the leaders Of his party in this town.
He has expressed the desire 20 be a mem
Der OF the next house OF representatives
and IL the nomination can be rendered
to him without Interfering with the hon
est ambitions OF anyone else who has
claim on the nomination IL will proba-
bly, be given. Otherwise the doctor like
any other good Democrat will remain at
home preferring party TO personal sue
cess.
