The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-17

News-Democrat early last week the ac-
tion OF the committee of the Democratic
city committee which had been instruct
ed TO strike off certain names from the
dist of Democratic voters in this city was
mot radical in its course. Just what the
sub-oomittee had done was unknown TO
the general public till Saturday night
when all OF the persons whose names had
been so acted upon had an opportunity 10
appear before the general committee and
show cause why this action should not be
taken.
There was in the list just 2l persons and
according TO the people who are best ac-
Aquainted with the sections OF the city
IN which they reside and vote there is no
llonger any reason why they should be
cassed as Democrats and therefore no
llonger any reason why their names
should be on the Democratic list
That this was admitted by the gentle
lmen themselves was evident because OF
the failure OF anyone OF them 10 put in
an appearance Saturday evening and
make any protest. Apparently they fully
.realized that they had been caught with
lthe goods on them and there was no use
10 make any protest.
The following Is the list OF names which
were stricken from the list and these
people will not be permitted To vote in
Democratic caucuses this year al least:
Frederick Daniels. 25S Division street
Michael Glavin, 246 Prairie avenue: Domi-
mic Guist. 20 Prairie avenue; James
Keough. 213 Meadow street; Peter Il.
Keough, Arch avenue; Charles +, Lucas,
GAG Prairie avenue: James Toher. 10 South
Bend street. Thomas Il. Ford, los Smith
street; Daniel ]. Keough 1873 Meadow
street: Eugene f. Keough. 213 Meadow
street: John III. Keough. 10 Arch avenue:
Charles Morris. 102 Denver street: Peter
+. Morris. l02 Denver street: James
Rogers, 200 Rhode Island avenue, all OF
District /, Third ward. Isaac Gill. is Bond
street. Bernard Keenan,, f2s Meadow
street; Charles Houlihan, 100 School
street; Joseph p. Keough. p Brewster
street; Royal f. Perrin. 800 Prospect
street; Francis Ward, 107 Water street, OF
district 2, Third ward. and Daniel T. Har-
rold, 1876 Pawtucket avenue OF district 3,
Third ward.
1t Is extremely sad that Chairman But
Ter OF the Democratic city committee did
not consult with the political writer's on
the Perry-Colt organ before he gave his
consent to this action. He probably
knows now that his actions are entirely
unsatisfactory to that wonderful COM
bination of political kindergartners. In
this list OF names there are two whose
owners are pretty well known here in
Bernard keenan,.
There is also one other who is not un-
known, fact that will be testified to by
quite a good many Democrats who have
suddenly founc themselves dsfranchised
this year. This is Frederick O.. Daniels.
a member OF the board OF tax assessors.
According TO the ''organ" there Is no rea-
son why either Mr.. Daniels or Mr.. Gil
should be classed among the Democrats
of the city and as proof OF this the state
ment Is made that both OF them have
from time to time been elected TO the Of
fees which they now hold by a Repub
lican city council.
In almost any other city In the Unitet
States IL would require some better proc
than this, but those who know Pawtucke
and also know the Republican machine o
Pawtucket fully realize that no othe
proof than this Is needed This is tow
where tho sign "No Democrats Need Ap
ply should be placed at the door OF tn
city hall The fact that a man has hel,
an office which was given to him by tn
Republican city council is sufficient proc
that he has cut himself loose from tn
Democratic party. no matter what hi
past affiliations have been.
But the action OF the Democratic cit,
committee In cutting off the above name
ds one which will receive general ap
provai. II these men are no longe
Democrats they should not be permitte,
- enter the Democratic caucuses.
