Col r. II. l. Goddard, Mr.. Presbrey said:
They have taken a reputable gentleman

Ex-Gov. Lucius F. c. Garvin was the
speaker at an enthusiastic rally at Cow

part:

great uprising Is 10 secure the offices
There is no question about tt Is there
not evidence that the Lincoln Democratic
movement has another and a stronger
motive than simply to oust the Republi-
cans and get office?
For m..ny years the Democratic party

Bribery. constitutional reform. and
now Braytonism. are but different phases
OF the same issue. Fraud and bribery are
the means used by ~ Brayton machine

cary means 20 destroy Braytonism.

been that for several years many leading
citizens OF the state. Republicans In ma

the number so allying themselves has
been Increased by many fold.

East Providence town hall last evening.
and aroused great enthusiasm. Congress
man Changers remarks were in part as
follow:
THE issue In this state has been made.
Shall the people continue TO be ruled by
the boss at the state house and small
number OF men who are merely puppets,
who jump when the string is pulled, or
shall they elect men who will represent
them?
1T grieves me TO see the blot on the
escutcheon, and the freemen should rise
In their might and punish the offenders.
When a man has a bill he wants consid-
cred the conditions should not be such as
TO require him TO have money In order 20
get IL passed"
John ]. Fitzgerald was the next speak
er. He said: THE Republicans say there
is no issue In the present campaign and
will not discuss the matter. If a Repub-
lican wants to help, we ask IL he will vote
10 send men 10 the legislature who Will
represent the people and not be the tool
OF the boss, who is not elected or appoint
ed by the people. but who is allowed 20
stay there by those in office.
IF reelected Congressman Granger
will work for free coal lumber and other
necessities that are high-priced on ac-
count OF the tariff which protects the big
interests. If Dyer goes TO congress he
will be but a shadow OF Nelson w. AL
drich. We might as well send his pic
ture To Washington for all the good the
people OF Rhode Island will get out OF H.
Higgins says he will drive the boss
from the state house. Utter tells us
there is no boss.
when Gov. Utter went to Newport.
where Wetmore is strong he declared
himself in favor OF Wetmore for senator.
Would he have done this at Bristol?"
Edward NJ. Sullivan said in part:
we are no longer Democrats or Re-
publicans or Prohbitionists in fighting
this fight against the enemy OF the state
and its people. We are American citizens
fighting for an American system OF gov
ernment. we are Rhode Islanders, fight
ing for Rhode Island system or govern
ment, a government in harmony with the
principles of liberty and justice laid down
here by Roger Williams in the building
OF these plantations.
when we must choose between q
Rhode Island governed by Brayton and
Rhode IsleHd governed by ourselves
we are for the Rhode Island in which
we can be men.
will there not be as many Republican
voters In this state after Brayton has
been repudiated at the next election as
there ever have been? VIII there not be
as many Rpublican voters then to support
an honest Republican party as there have
been Republican voters TO support a dis
honest and corrupt Republican organiza-
tion?

legience OF the most Republican voters
corrupt organization such as Brayton

honest organization which the Republi-

BRAYT0N'S NAN STINESs
STANDS BY HIS MASTER

Senator Walter r. Stiness. the personal
lieutenant Of Boss Brayton In the town

+. W. Tillinghast the understudy Of the
Boss; Col H. Anthony Dyer, s. X. M
Robertson and Frank w. Lockwood
were the speakers al last evenings Re-
publican rally at Lakewood.
Senator Stiness attempted 10 make
much OF his statement that he was for
Wetmore. fact which has been well
known all along, and was in no sense a
show of independence. since he has al
ways been frank in declaring his friend
ship for the junior senator.
Col. Dyer trotted out his laughabIe
scarecrow OF "Hearstism and Socialism
again; and Col. Tillinghast. the chief lob
byist at the state house next TO the Boss
himself. attacked the Democratic state
ment that no corporation acts pass the
legislature unless the boss" is first seen
and paid.
Hon. Joseph P. Burlingame ex-speaker
OF the house, presided. and said he was
a personal friend OF George II. Utter.
who embodies independence Of thought
and action"
Gen. stiness started in by relating some
OF his experiences in the senate. and said /:
II rather believe ] am an example OF
everything the Democrats are opposed TO /:
and I believe the state Is as clean n state
as there Is in the Union. and I have al
ways been proud to represent this big
country town In the senate.
There Is another thing I want 10 say
and that Is that | am friend OF Charles
". Brayton. and have been for many
years. ] know that ne has his faults and
failures. but / am willing to average IL
all up.
The Democrats have no platform. II
is only a running board. When you get
on board they fold the platform up and
II is no longer there.
"If 1 am elected 1 Mlll-Xnia- -lar-tAe

Peabody Wetmore.
"If Col Goddard was sincere when he
said he was for clean politics. what pos
sible excuse can he find 90 vote for any
other man for governor than Gov. George
III. utter2"
Gen. Stiness then appealed TO the @.
A. v. veterans. whom he accused Rath-
bone Gardner Of insulting.
