The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-08
CARv|N MATTER
STILL DISCUSSED
IN CUMBERLAND

Ever since the announcement by for
mer Gov. Garvin that he was a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for the
house OF representatives there has been an
effort underway 10 stir up trouble among
the Democrats OF Cumberland, but they
have not met with much success. The
doctor stated at the outset that he did
not propose TO make any fight for nom
ination. He declared that he believed
that the party was going TO nave
control OF the next legislature and I'm
such case he would like to be a mem
ber because he believed he would thus be
able to do something for the people OF
the state.
Immediately, some OF the trouble breed
ers tried 10 cause a split in the party. Mr..
Barry who represents the district In the
town in which Or. Garvin lives, and who
was the representative last year was APP
preached by the representative of the
Republican organ Ia Providence and ac-
cording 10 that paper declared he would
not step out OF the way for anyone.
OF course. this was just what the Re-
publican machine wanted. This machine
does not want DIR. Garvin In the next
legislature. 1t has never wanted him In
the legislature and II has spent thou
sands OF dollars TO keep him out 1t is
greatly pleased now that Mr. Barry has
made crtain statements regarding his own
position. But Dr. Garvin is not trying 20
stir up trouble i'm this town. He has
made the fair and square statement that
he would like to receive the nomination
but IL IL will GAUGE any trouble he will
withdraw from the contest
Without doubt Mr. Barry has done good
work and has showu himself a capable
legislator. Senator McKenna has also
been worthy representative in the up
per branch OF the general assembly, but
even with all this the experience OF DR..
Garvin, especially with a majority of
Democrats at his back would be OF more
value 10 the whole state and this is I'm no
sense derogatory 10 the men who are
there now. II is certainly TO be hoped that
some amicable arrangement can be made
whereby the services OF DIR. Garvin can
be secured for the state in the next state
legislature.
HOUSE AND BARN BURN.
Yesterday a house and barn belonging
10 the Hunt estate, were burned at the
Red Village I'm Diamond hill. Both build
ings were empty and II is not known how
the fire originated, although IL is sup.
posed that IL was set by boys. The neigh
boring residents rallied TO the scene. but
there was no means TO fight the flames
ana all that could be done was 10 stand
by and watch the buildings go.
