The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-05-15

There were Ave Democratic rallies yes
terday afternoon and last evening. most
of which were for the purpose OF getting
out a large Democratic registration for
the election next fall. The city rallies
were in the Third. Ninth and Tenth
wards. and at each OF these events the
attendance was large.
The most interesting rally was held In
IN the village OF Rockland. town OF Scit-
uate. at which Hon. John w. Hogan de-
clared that Senator Henry III. Potter had
twice betrayed his constituency. and
urged the voters TO cast their ballots at
today's town election for Charles III.
Page. Jr., for town clerk Mr. Hogan
spoke in the interest OF decent politics,
honest government and the candidacy OF
Col. Robert III. / Goddard for the United
States States senatorship.' The opposition to
of Col. Colt.
The meeting had been called for 8
standing the crowd arranged to gather at
1870 O'Clock. IL was impossible for the
speakers to remain for an evening rally,
so compromise was effected and the
meeting was held as soon as the mill
was out. Mr.. Page. who is the candi-
date for town clerk on the Republican
ticket stated that he had hired the old
ing made the arrangements through Su-
perintendent Bennett OF the mill, who
usually has full charge OF the letting
thereof Yesterday afternoon, however
the lease OF the hall was cancelled, II is
stated. by Harry Joslin. the agent of the
mill
Owing to the limited time remaining
for the speakers, IL was decided TO ad-
dress the voters from the steps OF the
postoffice and here a gathering assem-
bled. and listened with manifestations OF
interest TO the addresses Of Representa-
tives Hogan and Thomas A. kearney.
POTTER DENOUNCED.
Representative Hogan was well re-
ceived and spoke In part as follows:
for Harry Page and TO tell you the truth
about the manner I'm which your repre-
sentatives in the general assembly be
trayed their trusts I'm that body. Sena-
he had the approval of the Goddard men
in the attitude that he maintained from
the first ballot on the senatorial contest
IN casting his ballot for Colt. That is an
absurdty on the face Of H. There was
hut one thing that Senator Potter could
have done that would have met with the
approval OF the Goddard men, and that
was TO have voted for Col. Goddard.
but let me tell you the truth about
that. We held caucus of Independent
and Democratic legislators Just before
the taking OF the first senatorial ballot,
at which Senator Potter was present IL
was voted in that caucus to vote for Col.
X. II. I. Goddard on the first ballot, on
the last ballot and on every ballot as
long the contest lasted. There were
81 ballots cast and Col. Goddard received
Al. He should have received 43 at every
ballot, and he would have had the dele
gates from Scituate remained faithful to
their trusts. At the caucus that l men
tion. Senator Potter was present and
made no opposition TO the supporting or
Col. Goddard for there @as no dissenting
voice. II was therefore expected that
having been elected as a Democrat from
Scituate. and acduiescing with the eau
Gus to support Col. Goddard, that ne
would do so.
I'm the campaign that is now opening
the fight is exactly what IL was one year
ago-a campaign for decent politics, for
honest government and the election OF a
general assembly that will elect Col. God
dard as United States senator
Representative Kearney said in part: II
hope that the voters OF Scituate will view
the election with the importance that IL
deserves. I wish to speak, to you about
discriminating between a candidate who
has proven fathless TO you and man
who has always devoted himself TO the
interests OF the town and his townsmen.
No man who has been treacherous to a
legislative trust is worthy TO receive even
the lowest political office. / also want 10

monopoly that is seeking to enthrall the

Outside of Brayton, the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad and
other railroads are either openly or in

his vote tomorrow in favor of Mr.. Page
but those OF all your fellows. and that
