CENTRAL FALLS
REPUBLICANS
NAME FREEMAN

The Republican delegates 10 the city
convention met at Central FAILS IN tne
| nomination a ticket to be voted upon at
the coming election. The ticket was not
a bit different from that which was
named in the columns OF The News-Dem-
ocrat yesterday. At that time. however
the party had not the slightest idea who
IL would nominate for senator, and In
| fact II was all settled within very rev
minutes before the hour OF calling TO or
der. Not that any one believed the Sc
lection was a strong one, but apparently
the gentleman named was the only per
son In the city who could he induced TO
take the nomination
OF course the Republicans are not TO be
criticised for their desire 10 keep out OF
this. because they know IL would be a
practical impossibility for them to win.
However. they had TO get up a ticket;
and so Sylvestre Il. Hiscox was inveigled
into taking the namination, and after
election day Mr.. Hiscox will very quietly
sink out OF sight behind the plurality
which will be given for Or. Remington.
It is a significant fact that the one
thing which caused the big split In the
Republican ranks In this city was the
Joseph w. Freeman. some fve or six
years ago. for a second term as mayor of
the city. Last evening after all OF the
speechmaking the Republicans placed Mr.
Freeman i'm nomination again for this Of
fee. IL is probable that had the gentle
man received a second nomination imme-
diately following his first term. he would
have been reelected. but conditions have
changed since then. The Democrats have
grown stronger in the city. They are
united and they have this year got
candidate who has the respect and con-
fidence of the entire community. He will
without a doubt receive the votes of
good many OF the Independent Republi-
cans who have retained their disgust at
the actions OF the leaders OF their own
party and who are this year going to
vote the entire Democratic ticket as
protest against Braytonsm both In state
and municipal affairs.
The convention was called TO order
shortly after o'clock. and John NJ. Four
nier was made chairman. outside OF the
delegates there were not many people in
the room, and there was practically no
enthusiasm shown during the entire
evening.

powered 10 mn vacancies and then a com
mittee consisting OF W. ". Tracy. Chris
topher Dale and George Brouillette was

The committee quickly produced Mr..
Freeman who made a short speech OF
acceptance. promising II elected 10 give
the city as clean and business-like admin
stration as Law In his power Each Of
the other nominees, except MIR Newell,
who Is out Of the city, also made short
speeches Of acceptance.
