The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-10-24

Brayton. IL discusses tariff In state
campaign and refuses to say what IL VIII
or will not do about the un-Democratic
constitution under which we live.
"It uses Gov. Utter. who goes speaking
10 the Mems clubs TO catch the church
vote; IL uses Lieut.. Gov. Jackson To
catch the temperance vote, because MS
wife is president OF the w. c. L. u; II
uses Brayton To catch the vote OF the
gambling fraternity; II uses the police
commissions, so far as IT can' to drive
the liquor vote; IL uses Thomas j. Dorney
20 carry a certain discredited element or
the Democratic party; IL uses the re-
| ligious bigot TO influence the A. 4. A.
vote by crying that the ID emocratic, party
is party OF Irish Catholics, while IL
turns every stone TO get the Italian ana
| French Catholic vote.
"And finally, when all these methods
have been exhausted, IL looks TO It's mas
| ter TO raise a huge corruption fund 70 buy
| the balance OF power in the persons OF
some degenerate electors who allow a
| ridculously low price TO be set upon their
manhood ! am glad TO know that not
| all of these tricks viii work this time.
| There are clergymen who do not wear
L, the Brayton collar or the Brayton muZzle.
| Dr. C.. NJ. Melden OF the Mathewson Street
| NJ. f.. church is one OF them. and there
| are scores OF others throughout the state.
AL the world loves fighter II he is
| a fair fighter. The Republican party in
| this state Is not a fair fighter It's methods
| are underground; its appeals are 10 preJu-
| dice, passion and pride. IL DULLES IL IL
| can: uSes threats where IL dares; buys
| the inhhence OF weak men by giving sman
| official positions. or pays cash for political
| piece work by avowed Democrats, who
travel as Democratic lambs. though they
are really Republican wolves.
These are some OF the reasons why
the Republican party ought to be de-
| feated.
THE Democratic party ought to be en-
trusted with power in this state. because
II will give us a United States senator in
the person OF Col. Goddard. who will
| really represent Rhode Island in the
| United States senate, Col. Colt might
be a good man to send 10 the house OF
| lords or to a congress OF trusts. but not
20 the senate OF a Republican and Demo-
cratic nation.
THE Democratic party ought TO be put
| in power. because only in that way can
we hope 10 get new constitution In this
! state
I'VE ought to have Democratic VIC
| tory all along the line. because such VIC
| tory would sound th6 death knell OF boss
| ism in this state"
Mr. williams received prolonged ap-
plause at the conclusion of his remarks.
Theodore F, Green, candidate for repre-
sentative from Providence, was next in
troduced.
He said: You people in the Blackstone
valley have a reputation for saying what
you think. This may be the reason why
they came out here when they wanted a
candidate for governor and got James H.
Higgins, who dares to do what he thinks
right.
When Higgins said 'T'n try" he en-
phasized the difference between two par
ties I'm the state. The mention OF Hig-
! gins name brought forth great deal OF
enthusiasm from the audience.
When Governor Utter says, IT wish l
might, but l can't" and when Higgins
says "I'll try" he hoped they would vote
for a man with a backbone rather than
a man with a wishbone.
In conclusion Mr.. Green lauded Higgins.
Goddard and Garvin, and urged the voters
20 support the entire Democratic ticket.
MR. RILEY's REMARKS.
Timothy j. Riley. the candidate OF the
Democratic party for mayor, was next in
troduced and received rousng reception.
1t was several minutes before he could

s elf by saying that this was his first at
tempt at political speech and he would
have TO be excused from a long one

speaker. and he spoke on state issues and
giving his experiences as leader of the
| Democratic minority in the house last
| year and brought forth hearty applause
! by his denunciaton of the actions OF the
| Republican majority in the house. He

Yes, ] did receive SIS, and II was a
| campaign contribution.
Here is a cancelled check. showing that

J his seat
James F. Murphy. candidate for repre-
| sentative from this city. appealed 10 the
| voters TO give the Democratic candidates
such rousing plurality that they could
| not be counted out by the state return
| ing board as was done in his case last

| and Senator Aldrich and told OF the
braztn attitude OF the legislature in pig
| con holing from 75 to 100 bills each year
| at the behest Of Brayton which were in
| the interest of the people. Mayor Dyer
| wants a gair deal, n legislature that does
such work is an arbitrary body. As an in
| stance or this Mr. Murphy spoke strong
| ly OF the railroading through the legisla-
! ture OF the Moshassuck Valley railroad

! expressed OF the people OF Pawtucket

J chy and showed that In the legislature OF
| 1903 the Democratic represented about 20
| millions OF property and that every mem
| ber OF the minority represented four citi-
zens TO the opposition's one. He closed
with an appeal for the support OF the
| ticket headed by the star.
