resentative of the News Democrat this
morning.
lie referred to tho determination Of
the Republican assembly delegation
from Newport not TO go into caucus
with a possible majority OF Colt men
from other points and allow Its hands
to be tied.
Have the Newporters yet abandoned
their advocacy of the reelection or
Senator wetmore?" Mr.. Sanborn was
asked.
Not that l have heard" he replied
mot by Jugful. We have not seen
anything In the returns that gives us
reason TO be afraid OF the outcome.
you may say that we are for Sem
ator George Peabody Wetmore's re-
election first last and all the time.
''As 10 going into a aucus. you may
depend upon ii that we shall not be
trapped.
The question of caucus has not
been decided. We do not even know
whether one is TO be held prior 10 the
voting in grand committee. We do
know. however. that Senator wetmore
should be returned We have been
elected to vote for him and expect to
do SO"

the senator was asked.

that we have seen nothing alarm
ing in the returns"
Representative Franklin. who was
with Senator Sanborn, heartily in
dorsed all that the senator had stated.
Although week has elapsed since cleo
tion, no word has yet come from Col.
Samuel Pomeroy Colt; but his friends
assert that not only is he a candidate.
but that he ~ill be the next senator
THE colonel has done a great deal for
the state of Rhode Island" said one OF his
foremost advocates, and II is no more
than fitting that this ambition of his
should be realized. The people believe in
q reasonable rotation in public office.
Col Colt has the brains and the means
to support the position with dignity and
value TO the state, and would make as
good a representative as we now have.
