SLINGS STONES
Reading Clerk of the Senate Who Knows Braytonsm Root and
Branch, Talks at Pes Paddock Meeting Praises Utter,
Whom lie nsued in the Senate and VI aks Around the
Issue of the Campaign.

Hon. David J. White Pawtucket's giant
killer of the silver tongue, delivered the
speech this afternoon at the MONDAY rail-
ly OF the Pettis e. Paddock Pioneer club
in the Banigan building before large
audience. which was frequently moved
10 applause by his sonorous periods.
Mr. White, who is a favorite of Gen.
Brayton, the Goliath of Rhode Island, de-
Tended the grand old man" with all the
eloquence that the memory of the sine
cures tho general has given him could
evoke.
He put into his oratorical sling n uun-
ber of harsh pebbles, whiCn he hurled ce-
family at the Democracy Of the state and
at William Randolph Hearst. who Is not
an issue I'm Rhode Island politics; and al
the close OF his great torrential effort he
stood as II were upon tho corpse Of the
Democracy. waving aloft his weapons of
offense and heard the waves beat on the
rock-ribbed shores of the Narragansett
in harmonious cadence: "Wal done. thou
good and faithful David. Thy Job is Sc
cure for at least another year II lhe old
man wins"
Mr.. White spoke from n few brief notes,
but had fortified his memory with manu-
script I'm pink ink so that hc could paint
the "defamers of the state" more vivid
ly. Where he departed from his manu-
script in the exuberance OF memory OF
favors received and expected he I'M
proved his written words.
THE man who leaves this hall and votes
the Democratic ticket has something
other than good old Rhode Island red
blood coursing HIS veins.
THE Democratic dare not come
before the people and discuss openly and
honestly the magnificent record Of the
Republican party. In Rhode Island the
people were tever so prosperous, content
ed and happy. Wages are higher. the
hours Of labor shorter The hum of ma
chnery makes sweet music to tens Of
thousands OF contented wage -earners.
They have put away sl25,000,0o0 In our
savings banks and invested hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars annually for life In
surance.
"Can aught be said against the charac-
ter and ability OF Gov. George IL Utter.
No governor OF any state I'm the union has
ever done better service. from higher
standard Of private and public righteous
ness. than has George IL. Utter To
know him Is TO love him
Mr. White failed to tell here how at
the last session OF the assembly. acting
under orders Of Boss Brayton. he deted
Gov. Utters instructions as presiding OFF,
Ger Of the senate
"The Democratic reformers OF Rhode
Island ask you 20 turn faithful men out
Of office because Col Goddard wants TO
go 10 the United states senate.
''In the Second congressional district
YOU are asked TO remove the honest. ca
pable, hard-working Congressman Capron
for the dreamy iconoclastic DIR. Garvin.
In the First congressional district we
have nominated Gen. Dyer TO succeed
Mr. Granger The necessity OF sending
Republican OF the character and ability
OF Gen. Dyer 20 uphold the administra-
tion OF President Roosevelt, Is the duty
of every voter who wants our present
prosperous and happy conditions TO re-
main undlsturbed"
Mr. White made no reference 10 Mayor
Dyer's military record, and continued 10
deal out taffy 70 each OF the other candi-
dates or ex-Gov. Charles Warren Lip
pitt he said that he is "a man OF great
executive capacity and large business
experience. exceptionally equipped by
temperament and training In public az
fairs TO fill the honorable position OF chief
ma gistrate" lie then attacked ex-Gov
Garvin. wf1Uyp nomination and rfurttUu he
said were secured by buying a Demo
cratic convention as openly as cattle
would be bought In open market"
Quoting the words OF Prof. acDonald
regarding the recent abolition OF the Sc
cret ballot and the substitution OF a form
Of ballot obviously intended 10 make in
dependent voting difficult" Mr.. White
said:
