The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-07-28

where politics are played In such an un-
fair and dirty manner as in Pawtucket,
and when IL comes to considering the
board as a branch OF the city govern
ment whose chief aim is TO take care OF
its business affairs that. too, would be lu-
dicrous IL II didn't have such serious
features.
SELECTS HIS MoUTHPIEcE.
Apparently Acting Mayor Wood con-
siders his public acts are not OF special
interest 10 all the voters OF this city. but
simply to a little coterie that happens
now and then TO read the columns OF the
Independent" organ OF the Republican
machine, which is owned by the Perry
Colt syndicate. To single out any one
newspaper representative and explain 10
him that he had called special meeting
OF one branch OF the city council and
withhold that information from others
shows the calibre OF the man. II shows,
too. that he is afraid OF the voters know
ing what is being done while he is
clothed with a little brief authority. II
Is pretty narrow mind which would
take such a course. but that is just what
Acting Mayor Wood did last Wednesday
night.
or course, the information being OF
public nature belonged 10 all the papers.
but II was given only to the representa-,
indication that the machine mouthpiece
believes that public business shall have
no other outlet.
BIO REVIVAL PLANNED.
Leaders in the several churches OF the
city are planning a big revival to be held
here during the coming winter. The mat

Young Peoples Christian Alliance for sew

and begin the services on Jan. %. 1907.
The Christian Alliance is made up OF

Moral support. which is expedient TO de-

IL Is expected that a meeting OF the min

the purpose OF arranging to put their

The evangellstlc committee, OF which
Rev. Whitman l.. Wood. pastor OF the

will hold a meeting this week. at which
Dr. Chapman's communication will be
acted upon, and further plans made.
WAGE EARNERs' CLUB.
The Central Trades and Labor union at
its meeting last Monday night voted to
adopt the idea conveyed In a communica-
tlon received from President Gompers OF
the American Federation of Labor and
without doubt II will take a pretty active
part in the political campaign which is TO
be waged In this city the coming fall A
committee made up OF representatives OF
the several labor unions will bring In a
report at the next meeting at which rec
omendations will be made as 10 the policy
to be adopted
IL seems fairly probable that the unions
VIII go into the caucuses and take part in
nominating candidates. Then they will see
that the candidates OF their choice re-
elected. Whether or not the influence OF
these organizations will be thrown for the
candidates OF the Democratic party or the
Republican party is one OF the things
that no one can foretell but the indica-
tions now are that different candidates
will be selected on different tickets ON
which the labor people will unite.
IniS means the bringing into artiot, 90 m
new political force which has never be-
rore been reckoned with and the party
leaders are pretty likely 10 carefully con-
sider the make up OF the tickets with n
due regard for the wishes OF this class OF
voters
This Is perhaps the most important step
the wage earners acting together have
ever undertaken and its results are likely
TO be far reaching These new votes for
one or the other OF the big parties are
likely TO hold the balance OF power In
many cases at least and the approval OF
the unions OF certain candidates will de-
eide the chances OF election
