The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-07

aican machine been face 10 face with such
a condition in Pawtucket as confronts
st at the present time. The party leaders
realize that after having elected for two
years the delegation 10 the general assem-
bly, there is promised no alternative ex-
cept TO surrender the prizes which were
won by the expenditure OF the big barrel
OF money supplied by Senator Nelson w.
Aldrich two years ago. This is not
pleasant outlook There was never
harder fight made than that put up two
years ago. and TO think that IT was all
done for nothing makes the fruits Of vic
tory rather bitter.
Now the tables are going 10 be turned.
The Democratic party is coming into its
own and the Republican machine has lost
ats head. II this was not a fact II would
never have given countenance TO such
piece OF dirty work as has been per-
formed by the board OF assessors in its
trea tment OF persons who have heretofore
been assessed a personal property tax.
One OF the features OF the comedy that
rs being played for the ediflcation OF Paw
'tucket people is the frantic effort OF the
Republican organ TO make good Failing
in its attempt 10 prove any special quail
Efications OF its own party, II resorts to
the course II pursued by its brilliant po-
iitical writer in Providence and proceeds
20 show how the Democrats are az swords

office. This is an old game with this
Fcoterie OF Providence schemers have long
been used 10. and at present II is accepted
as one OF the things which every return
rng campaign brings out But here is
tPawtucket It is something new and to
most people II is pretty nearly as good

The latest effusion from this fedgling
in the political game is the attempt 10
show that the Democratic leaders have
taken a hand in the matter OF naming a
candidate for the mayoralty and the con-
cluslon is drawn that this being the case
something terrible has been accomplished
and that there is a bitter fight within the
ranks OF the local Democracy.
In the first place the statement is with
out the slightest foundatleH-rhe gentle
men who have announced their candidacy
for this nomination, and there are four
OF them. are each going their way, secur-
bg from their friends such support as
they can and when the contest Is all over
and the city convention. has settled on
its candidate, the party leaders will set
tie down TO the one duty which faces
them. They will get out the votes and
elect the man whom they have named
and this will be done In spite OF the ef-
forts of the organ to stir up trouble and
also in spite OF the efforts OF the board
OF overseers 10 disfranchlse the voters
