the boss in full control then and ne be-
lieved that control still continued.
The second speaker was Mr. CooneN'

II am going 10 follow the custom of the
a.ss4Er tn
have formal text as the basis Of my
remarks. The text that | shall use Is
taken from a speech OF Senator Morgan
OF Providence, delivered last Saturday
II Is as follow:
There is a certain level OF intelll-
Rence and honesty among the people OF
this state. Now whenever any men start
out and say they are going to do things
above this level they are promising to do
what's impossible for them 10 carry out
/ want the voters here To consider the
above text and think II over carefully ana
when you read IL In the paper tomorrow
think IL over again and ask yourselt ls ~
possible for Senator Morgans statement
TO be true2
'The issue in this campaign is Bray
tonism and all that Braytonism implies.
and the Lincoln and Democratic parties
have united for the purpose of meeting
this issue and destroying IL.
''The level OF intelligence and honesty
which we are trying to get above Is me
level established by Brayton and his sat
elites for the past 25 years and which
the Democrats and Lincoln men have
promised. from Goddard and Higgins
down TO get above IL they are given an
opportunity.
THE issue that is Joined in this cam
paign is greater than the fortunes of
any party. IL strikes at the foundation OF
our government IL Is a cancer In the body
polite. and IL is the duty of all patriotic
citizens to meet the issue OF Braytonism
just as they would meet any other com
mon enemy OF the state
QUIET POLITICAL WORK.
II person should Judge by outside APP
pearances they would be inclined to be.
lieve that the Republican machine in this
city has given up the fight for the cleo
tion of its representative ticket and for
the securing OF votes for Utter and others
on the state ticket. But the Democrats
are not going 10 be deceived by any such
appearances II is not a fact by any
means that the city hall crowd have given
UP the fight. In fact II is known that
they are at the present time making the
most strenuous effort ever known here,
IL perhaps the campaign OF two years
ago may be excepted, and perhaps before
the end OF the present week even this
campaign for Aldrich may have been dis
counted
II is pretty we'll known that the machine
is supplied with all kinds OF money and
the orders have been sent out from the
Providence headquarters TO move heaven
and earth to win Every possible effort
will be made 10 cut down the vote for
Higgins and TO elect at least part OF the
assembly delegation. But in this city IL is
forlorn hope.
The battle was lost before Il was really
begun. The people OF Pawtucket have be-
come dsgusted with the actions OF the
Republican ring and Shere are scores and
hundreds OF men who have all their lives
been voting straight Republican tickets
who will this year cast their vote for
practically every name on the Demo-
cratic ticket IL would be possible TO
secure a list OF persons who are well
known here In this city who are going TO
take this course this year and the list
would stagger the Republican machine II
would include business and professional
men. and among the former is a man
who has been honored by the Republicans
