COLT MANAGERS
PLAYING BLUFF
Continued from page One


Few men who profess even an element
airy knowledge of Rhode Island politics
believe that Col. Colt would seriously en-
tertain q proposition TO stand aside for
his brother, Judge lie Baron b. Colt,
whom he so easily outclasses as a prac-
tcal man OF affairs. though If he found
II possible to elect his brother as against
Senator Wetmore he would undoubtedly
try TO elevate the Judge in the event of
being scared out Of the fight himself
If the colonel could not elect himself,
no one believes he could command
strength enough TO elect his brother eth
er; and in the presnt state of public feel
ing In Rhode Island they and Senator
Wetmore combineh are not believed to
have sufficient strength 10 defeat the pop
ular demand for Col. Robert II. |. God
dard.
Boss Brayton Is remaining more silent
than the Rhode Island clam, but has been
hard at work; and his headquarters in
the Banigan building have been the scene
OF many conferences since he returned
from his vacation in Maine. The dscour-
aging reports received have caused him
TO redouble his efforts I'm the small coun-

toward the Goddard camp.
Rumors that the Republican state con-
vention. which is likely to be dominated
as absolutely by Boss Brayton this year
as II was last year. will declare for Wet
more, or any other candidate for the sem
ate, are without foundation. according TO
a wel-known Republican who is In closest
touch with affairs at headquarters.
Gen. Brayton is not yet prepared to
show his hand" said this politician; "and
there will be no declaration for any par
ticular candidate for the senate. There
may be a statement that the Republican
party is rich in senatorial timber and
there may even be mentioned a number
OF possibilities but the convention will
not commit itself. IL Brayton controls II.

THE THANKSGIVING FEAST.
Turkeys Retailing Mt ~ TO - Cents a
Pound and Plenty of Them.

| With fair weather predicted and the
turkey not soaring too high, to-day should
be the right kind of Thanksgiving. For
days past the anxious housewife has
watched the price of the lord of the day,
the turkey. She has probably thought
more of shopping probably in regard TO
the wants of the innerman of this day
than she has of the clothing of the outer
man for the whole year. Yesterday she
flooded the local markets and groceries
and fruit stores. At the market, after
due parley and careful scrutiny, she
crossed the Rubicon and bought turkey
or a nice chicken. At the grocer's and
fruters establishments she purchased
the "nxins." Occasionally a man did the
buying. In that case there was little
preliminary talk. He usually pointed to
a bird and said Gimme that" Then he
asked the price.
| And. contrary to previous expectations.
neither the woman nor tho man had to
| pay quite as high a price for the royal
bird this year as last. Earlier in the yea
son the cry went up that Vermont -ur-
keys were a very scarce article. They
could be purchased In only small lots.
! Consequently the price per pound was
destined to be boosted up to- a point ont
of the reach OF those who most enjoy
eating turkey, those who never have it
but once year and have it then only
when the price is down low
Various reasons were given for the
shortage of the crop. But perhaps the
true reason was the farmers wish 10
sell his turkeys at the highest price
possible. He came to the local markets
scene time ago and offered his birds for
sale at "A price lowering about - cents
the pound. 1t was too much, said the
dealer, and ne wouldn't buy. Hence came
the cry that, because thu dealers did nor
secure many birds, the turkey was fast
on the way to join the down and out
club
The farmer held back his birds and the
dealer insisted upon paying his own
price. But as the great day approached,
the farmer thought it would he better to
sell at the dealers price than not to sell
at all. So the dealers laid in big stock
OF birds and they have been going fas;
all the week at from 25 to IS cents a
pound. which is about four cents loss
than tho best stock sold for the last
year at this time
| Perhaps the best turkeys came from
growers on Grand Isle. They are excel
| lent stock. The shipments or turkeys 10
the Boston market has been small. The
Vermont turkeys in the Boston market
constitute only about 10 per cent OF the
entire stock.
| The weather man adds his note of en-
cour1gmont 30 the low -pricedturheT carol
/ by promising good weather in New
England for to-day, And so, all things
considered, the day should be more Wide
Ily observed than ever, rs New Eng
land THANKSGIVING should be observed;
