II is here that the people know Mayor
Higgins They know him as a boy and
as a man. They have watched him rise
from a little fellow who earned a few
pennies every day selling papers on the
street to the time when he became mayor
OF the second city Of the state and now
that he is TO be placed at the head Of the
Democratic state ticket there is unbound p
ed faith that he is going 10 be the next
governor. And IL can be said that for
the most part there are very few people
in the city. no matter what their politics
are. who would regret his election The
. statement has been heard many times
during the past two or three days by we'll
known and active Republicans that II the
mayor is elected they can have nothing
but feelings OF pride at the choice OF the
people
MANY CONGRATULATIONS.
On the morning after the announce
ment was made that Mayor Higgins had
consented 10 allow the use OF his name
a candidate for governor he was in re-
ceipt of scores OF congratulatory mes
sages They came by telegraph, by letter
and by telephone and IT is a statement Of
fact that many OF the kind words were
sent by prominent Republicans. In his
contests for the mayoralty he has always
received the votes of n great many of the
Republicans Of Fawtucket and II is be-
lieved that in this battle for clean gov
ernment In the state he viii be voted for
also by hundreds of men In this section
OF the state especially who have all their
lives voted the Republican ticket.
There We're many Of his close friends
in this section who have advised him
against accepting the nomination because
they feared that his health would not
stand the strain OF the campaign and
also the strain which will come after Is
he Is elected. But these same friends
have believed that his candidacy was the
one thing which the Democratic narty
needed TO put the enthusiasm in which
would bring success at the polls. Now
that the matter is settled these friends
are ready TO take their coats of and the
Indications are that this is going 10 be
most remarkable campaign.
The announcement was made this morn
ing that Mayor Higgins would meet the
members OF the executive committee OF
the Democratic state central committee
In Providence today and decide on the
makeup OF the remaluGcr OF the ticket.
1t is Characteristic or the mayor that
now he has consented TO make the fight
that he should enter into the matter with
his whole heart. While he will not pre-
still he will undoubtedly give his advice.
and II Is stated that he has already been
in consultation with certain well-known
Democrats whose names have been mem
toned for different places.
The close friends OF the mayor declare
that now he has consented TO enter the
contest he will leave no stone unturned
10 bring success TO his party and those
who know his enthusiastic temperament
realize that this means the most ener
getic battle that has ever been fought
in this state and II is said that Pawtucket
and the Blackstone valley are going TO
be the storm centres OF this conflict.
