The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-06-08

who had preceded him in urging the men
TO register
EX-MAYoR FITZGERALD.
John j. Fitzgerald was the last speaker;
He said that ne did not start his political
life In the old Fifth ward as had so many
OF the leaders OF the Democratic party IN
this city, and he referred TO the fact tha'
long before he took an active part In po-
litical affairs some OF those who Were
present at this meeting had been past
masters In the art OF politics.
Continuing. he said
"If there ls any place where the voters
ought 70 take an interest IN seeins Ina a.
their names are on the registry ns.. u Is
not because OF the fact that you elected
as your representative In the city councii
the young man whom you nave just
heard, you would not, know that the Dem
ocratic party had voice In that body.
He IL doing a magnificent work ana de-
serves your strongest support. .x,.
"You cannot accomplish much In TINS
city until you get control OF the city
council 1t is as much for your interest
that the taxes are low as II Is for anyone
else. Perhaps some OF you think you
cannot get up here and make speeches,
but there is not one Of you who cannot
do something better than that. You can
speak 10 your friend on the street cor
ner and you can urge him To get his aame
on the voting list. and in doing that you
can accomplish more than those who
make speeches. II you get the men TO
the ward room to register tho battls Is
won. and there is nothing left but TO
count the votes.
II am almost ashamed OF what our
party has done In this city during the
past two years. We started OF in 1896
and elected as our mayor Hon. John w.
Davis, and following that we elected tho
late William J. Cronin, and since that
time we have never missed an election.
and all this time this ward has done Its
duty. And now II looks as though you
would have an opportunity this year "a
honor one OF your own young men, for the
next candidate for mayor Is likely TO be
one OF your own ward voters. and IL Is
up TO you To get busy. 80 that IL the time
comes 10 honor one of your own boys you
will be right there TO do IL.
THE highest honor that a man has Is
the right to go TO the ballot box and
register his voice In saying who shall
be at the head OF affairs. Some OF my
friends I'm this hall tonight belong 10
the labor unions, but you may have labor
unions stretched from the Atlantic 10 the
Pacific, from the Great Lakes TO the Gulf
OF Mexico. and not have the ballot. and
you can accomplish nothing"
The speaker referred to some OF the
labor laws which the Democrats had In
troduced into the general assembly ir
past years and which later the Republi
cans had adopted and passed when they
were forced TO do So and In closing ht
said: "Out in Russia men are barring
their breasts 10 the bayonet and riskina
Siberia that they may have a right e
cast their votes; and right here In Paw
tucket. where all you have 10 DO Ia tc
spend Is or 20 minutes in placing your
h.
take sufficient interest 10 do IT."
