over. although he may feel now that we
deal harshly with him. he Will feel a
great deal more emblttered against those
who are behind him.
who are those who help him buy and
sell laws? They are the Perrys and the
Aldriches and others who furnish him
with the cash year after year TO degrade
our manhood and debauch our honorable
citizenship. They pose as respectable ones
and they see him going and don't dare TO
stand up and help him.
How are we going TO stop this thing
We must drive Brayton out OF the state
house. We are going 10 tell him that II
he must traffic in laws he must have the
decency to do IL outside of the state
house. II Gov. George II. Utter sits back
and saws he can't do IT, well find man
who will at least try 20 do II.
GOV. Utter has answered one Of my
questions. but IL was like pulling teeth
to get him TO say whom he supported for
senator. Now l want TO ask him another
question.
"Mr George Fl. Utter. why haven't you
used your power to show to the people Of
Rhode Island how Brayton has button
holed the legislature and bought and sold
laws right under your eyes
You say you arc not controlled by any
boss. II makes no difference whether you
are or not. you owed II TO the citizens
OF Rhode Island 20 expose the boss. III
you didn't do Il. then on your shoulders,
partially at least. will rest an awful re-
sponsbility.
"You have let Brayton alone for two
years. 1t was your duty TO lash him with
all the power of your uRauestioned elo-
quence. why didn't you do it??
"Brayton must be overthrown. and it
must be done thoroughly. You must bend
all your efforts toward securing an un-
purchasable legislature See that men
are sent TO the general assembly who
can't be held up by Brayton and traded
with by him. We want uncompromising
men who will not trade with any man
or grind their own axes.
1T is a question. an issue and cam
paign that requires every man to rise

SAYS CABINET IS
TO Be DISMISSED
Ivan Petrunkevitch Declares Emperor
of Russia May Seek Delay, but
New Ministry Must Be
Chosen
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 2.-Ivan
Petrunkevitch. the veteran leader of the
Liberal movement, who has been pre-
vented by ill health from taking a
prominent part in the debates in tthe
lower house of parliament, but who.
Notwithstanding. is factor of the
greatest weight in the councils of the
Constitutional Democratic party, in an
interview granted to the Associated
Press today expressed his conviction
that the downfall of the present cabinet
had been decided and declared his
fullest confidence that the coming of a
responsible parliamentary ministry is
at hand.
Emperor Nicholas M. Petrunkevitch
said, might and probably would at
tempt to stave off the inevitable and
endeavor to form another but more
liberal bureaucratic ministry, but its
helpfulness to face the situation of the
hostile attitude of parliament was sc
apparent that it's existence would be
brief if Finance Minister Kokovsoff OIL
any one else were rash enough to at
tempt its formation.
M. Petrunkevitch professed ignorance
of any direct negotiations between the
emperor and the Constitutional Demo
Gratis and spoke with such positiveness
that it was evident his expectation was
based on more definite grounds than the
general situation, and it is apparent
that he and his friends are fully in
touch with the developments.
