6. 0. P. CANDIDATE
NOT IN SIGHT
For t|EUT-G0V.

All available candidates seem to be
lodging and the Republican party In
Rhode Island still lacks a candidate for
lieutenant governor. The party heads
will meet some time today and endeavor
to fix upon a man TO run.
Col. f. Charles Francis of Woonsocket,
who has been mentioned along with others
who have SHE'D. says that he is too busy
to be a candidate for the office.
Senator Walter r.. Stness of Warwick
is also spoken of as a possibility, although
the prevailing belief is that he wifi not
be the candidate.
Representative George w. Hoxie OF
Charlestown who is the nominee from
that town for senator, has been chosen as
their candidate for member OF the state
central committee to succeed Edwin Ken
yon.
1t Is unknown as yet who will be the
member of the Republican state central
committee from East Greenwich, as it
will depend upon which caucus is recog-
nized as the legal one and nothing has as
yet been done I'm this matter. The execu-
tive committee will hold hearing tomor-
row at $3.50 In room 2l2 Butler Exchange.
1t Is a question whether the state conven-
ton will recognize the faction that the
executive committee decides in favor of.
1t is understood that the faction which
rails In the convention Will run It's CdH-
didates on nomination papers.
But little is heard In regard TO the
chairmanship OF the next state central
committee. Several persons have been
mentioned for the position but nothing
definite is as yet known.
Ex-Gov. Utter, of Westerly and ex-
Speaker Joseph B. Burlingame of War
wick are spoken of as probable chairmen
of the state convention which will be held
next Thursday in Infantry hall.
