MUST CHANGE ITS METHODS.

The board OF canvassers and registration in
this city should conduct its business to be of
the greatest service to the greatest number of
people.
1t is public body remunerated literally out
OF the public treasury and having to do with the
most precious right of the citizen-the right to
vote
True, it cannot of itself alter present laws re-
lating to registration, it cannot make changes by
which electors will not be requested to register four
full months before an election is held; but it can
make its own rules so fair and just to render the
performance of the duty of registration much less
onerous than it is at present and has been since
the board was created.
1t is safe to say that the great majority of
registry voters are working men. They are en-
poyed usually during the hours when the regis
tration office is open for business They begin their
labor before 9 o'clock in the morning when the city
hall opens and the majority do not finish their work
until hour after the hal closes for the day at
5 o'clock in the afternoon.
From this it will be seen the only time the
average citizen register is during the noon hour
and his ability TO do that is dependent upon the
fact whether his place of employment is near to or
distant from the city hall He may by hurrying and
foregoing his MONDAY meal be able TO put his name
on the registry list but even at that he runs risk
OF being penalized if he is not ready to resume his
Iabors promptly at l o'clock.
The commissioners in the past have kept their
ofhce open during the evening for a week or so
preceding the expiration OF the registration period

MONDAY, MAY ID, 1906.
MARCHING ON TO VICTORY.

The present movement of the Democracy OF
Rhode Island is not spasmodic, is it sporadic.
1t is no sudden ebution of party fealty and
enthusiasm that will exhaust itself, but rather cru
sade based the principles OF right and justice that
will go on gathering strength until it has brought to
the state the blessing of true representative govern
ment and the boon of constitution that will safe
guard every citizen in the enjoyment of his rights
and give special privileges to none.
In the past the Democracy has suffered be-
cause of lack of unity in its ranks. In future it will
have only unity and harmony within its organiza-
tion.
In the past some men were able to march under
its banner proclaimng loyalty, while actually plot
ting treachery for pay.
Hereafter such will be tolerated as mem
bers of the Democracy. The day of the tricksters
and traders has gone forever.
No longer will it be possible for harpies to make
false profession of loyalty the for the betrayal
of the party to the political enemy.
The Democratic organization is led by men
whose Democratic principles cannot be called into
question; by men who have maintained those prin-
cples throughout their lives, wavering,
fatering and never disrnayed by want of success in
carrying out their ideas.
ErrorS OF the past nave not Deen OVcrfOOfcc
They have been corrected and their very correction
furnishes one of the brightest auguries for the
future
The Democracy began its campaign last Satur
day, when convention the most representative of
the popular will ever held in this state, named
candidate for the United States senate who in per-
sonal character mental equipment and political faith
is an ideal standard-bearer.
To his support will rally every Democrat
worthy of the name, and every independent who is
sincere in his desire for better government.
The Democracy is not afraid to let the world
know whom it wishes to place of its repre-
sentatives in the highest law-making body in the
land.
Its opponents the Republican party, cannot, if
they would, name the man who will oppose Col
Goddard next November.
Why? Because they are split into factions.
They have rings within rings seeking to name the
candidate and hoping after naming him to control
his contributions to the campaign funds.
These clashings of factions will continue for
four months, while the Democracy, united in pur-
pose and in sympathy battling solely for the best
good of the largest number, suffering from no inter-
necine strife, will march on signal and complete
victory on Nov next.
