CENTRAL FALLS
DEMOCRATS
SHOULD UNITE

II there was ever a time when the DEM
ocrats OF Central Falls should get to-
gether IL Is this year. They have a can
didate for mayor who reflects the great
est credit on the party. He accepted the
nomination rendered him after the great
est urging and the party owes IL to itself
10 see that he Is elected
This is not the time for any split. Mayor
McNslly by injecting himself into this
fight has placed himself where he de-
serves not the slightest consideration. He
owed IL TO his party TO accept the de-
cree OF retirement after having been
elected for two successive years. To come
Into the fight on nomination papers indi-
Gates one Of two thngs--either his ego
tism' IL so great that he has become
blinded to the impossibility OF his own
election or else he has done this thing
simply for the purpose OF bringing defeat
TO the man his party nominated.
In either case the voters should be
true 10 themselves. IL may be that some
OF them believe this candidacy is In the
nature OF joke and in some ways IL
looks though 1t was nothing else. But
this is not'a time for joking. A man who
uses the right of suffrage as a joke does
not deserve to enjoy that right. The bal
lot of theAmerican citizen Is too sacred 10
be used for any such purpose. The best
possible joke that could be played on a
man who thinks TO make light OF the
ballot Is TO forget him on election day
II he should find that the only vote he
had I'm the entire city was the one he
cast for himself then the Joke would be
worth something for II would show that
the people did not take him at his own
worth.
But the fear is that there will be too

10 the city and 10 themselves and that

| II the Democrats failed to rise to the

| certain Of the electors to vote for Mayor

would not be a laughing stock OF the en-
tire state. He would demand respect at
| the city hall and his influence would be
felt there even IL he was not of the same
political party as majority OF the city
| council
Democrats OF Central Falls should rally
to the support OF Timothy ]. Riley and
elect him as the next mayor OF this city.
| AUTO KILLS DOG.
| A valuable Gordon setter dog was run
over by an automobile yesterday after
noon on Dexter street, and IL was so bad

not stop and IL is said that they were
