For Governor,
JAMES IT. HIGGINS.

1T is known" said a Democratic lead
err that prominent members of the Lin
coin party were foremost in advocating
the selection OF both Mayor Higgins and
Charles Sisson for places on the Demo
cratic state ticket, and that some Of
these had advocated the selection OF Ed
ward NJ. Sullivan for attorney general
believing that very aggressive Democrats
should be named in an effort TO help re
deem the state.
The Goddardites. i'm indorsing the
Democratic candidates for the general
assembly. have already taken the strong
est and most important position possible
10 aid the Democrats TO secure the one
essential thing. the control Of the legisla =
ture
Even Mayor Higgins. Mr. Ssson. Mr..
Sullivan, Mr. Archambeault and Mr..
Palmer place Endorsement OF themselves
as entirely secondary to the election Of a
majority of the general assembly, which
in the state OF Rhode Island has all the
lawmaking power and can bring about
all the reforms that are desired.
"The Democrats would be willing. II
necessary, which II is not. 10 forego any
places whatever on the state ticket for
years II they could control the general
assembly, as that control would bring
about every reform for which the people
Of the state have fought so unsuccessfully
for the past forty years"
with the Democracy in control II the
legislature. the state house will no longer
be an auction mart the high sherffs
office no longer the resort OF Boss Bray
ton and his agents. and the high sheriff
himself will be propelled down capitol
hill at lightning speed at the toe OF the
Democratic boot Every board and com
mission i'm the state will be controlled by
the representatives of the people. and
democratic supremacy in the peoples in
forests will be assured for years to come.
This is the practical view OF the situa-
ton, regardless OF the action OF any
party or committee or individuals. and re-
gardless of the attempt 10 befog the situ-
alton and create false conditions by the
dissemination of statements that are not
only lies, but which are prepared with the
deliberate purpose Of lying, by men whose
only claim to public notice is the shame
lessness with which they strut up and
down their little arena with the words
I Am a Liar branded on their fore
heads"
