The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-24

Before the end OF the present week
there will be more known about the pollu-
cal situation In this city than Is known
at the present time. just now there ~
lot OF talk and there are numerous can
didates who are expecting to win az the
caucuses, but by next saturday night a
a good many of these questions VIII be
settled.
SO far as the mayoraty race is con
ssrned there really oo but Two meh and Insepb in M
A Hughes and the friends OF each declare
their man is sure OF getting the delegates
Last week there was meeting In the
Fifth ward, at which there was selec-
ton OF names for delegates 10 the city
convention 10 be voted on at the cauvuses
1t Is declared that these names were those
OF men who will favor the nomination OF
Mr.. Corcoran.
Tomorrow evening there will be a meet
ing OF a similar character In the Fourth
ward. and Mr.. Hughes expects that the
names selected atfhis meeting VIII be IA
vorable 10 his candidacy. IL this should
be the result honors would be easy and
no one would have any line on the ulti-
mate result. Such meetings, as these are
not OF very great value unless they are
held in all of the wards. Then II could
be said that the delegates were selected
by the voters. However. they do no harm
and they relieve the ward committees
making selections.
II is stated that there may be a warm
fight I'm the Third ward when IL comes
time 20 select the candidates for the city
OF opinion among the Democrats as 10
who should represent the ward in the
board OF aldermen. Alderman McCaughey
has held the place for such long tlfne ne
that II seems as though he had sort or
right TO IL. There are those, however, VINO
say they believe he has been there long
enough. Just how strong this sentiment
Is cannot now be told. but one thing is
certain and that is that II will be fostered
by the party renegades In order TO bring
about a split In the party IL such a thing
- IS possible
keenan, will be devoted TO this. and al
though Mr.. Keenan, Is not now resident
OF the Third ward, having recently taken
UP his residence on Cottage street. Still
IL is claimed he will claim right to vote
in the old place because he prefers TO
make this old Democratic stronghold the
field for his efforts OF course the Re
publican board OF aldermen VIII not trans
fer him unless he asks for IT. and II Is
scarcely likely that he will do that.
But IL is a little bit too early yet TO say
much about the city council delegations
or Democratic leaders have given this
matter great deal OF attention. certain
clubs have taken UP the subject ana reg
istered their wishes and when the time
comes the party leaders will probably
give consideration TO the claims that have
been put forth In the meantime the at
tention OF the leaders is TO be given 10
the matters that are nearer at hand.
Tomorrow there Is 20 be meeting OF
the Republican city committee and at this
meeting the date fos. the caucuses VIII be
fixed.
Y. M. C. A. MEMS MEETING.
There was a large attendance at the
Y NJ. c. A. mems meeting which was
held yesterday afternoon in the head.
quarters on Broad street. The speaker for
this meeting was Rev. f. B. Pullen OF
Providence and he gave a most interest
ing talk on "Profane Living" He said in
part
II is a common ahing for us to think
that profane living refers to those whose
lips use the name OF heavenly beings in
a disparaging manner In sense that is
true, but the thought that the biblical
writer had In mind was the profanity OF
the whole life of Esau. He was satisfied
with the earthly things OF the life that
he led and had no thought for a future.
and by virture OF that neglect profaned
his entire life. well-known minister OF
the gospel Of days gone by has ably de-
fined the meaning that goes before the
fame OF the temple, and Is common
ground TO all who desire to travel over

''The life OF Esau was profane because

but gave him something to satisfy him

the pleasures OF that time and he kept

THAT is the evil OF today. Men have no

be frequently seen after their names. part
OF their daily business. and in conse-
quence they lead a profane life.
