WETMORE|TES MUST RECKON
WITH BRAYT0N, FOR He
IS STILL IN THE GAME

Boss Brayton is not out ot politics,
though he is out OF the state.
He has gone 10 a health resort in the
upper New York mountains TO remain
until September. Mrs. Brayton accom-

Friends or the general are intensely
amused over the acclamation with which
outside papers hail the alleged retirement
OF the boss from Rhode Island politics
They fail to understand upon what such
a foolish opinion can be based.
Arguing the subject today, one OF these
friends said: "The old man is as much in
politics at this minute as he was at the
same minute In July OF last year. At that
time he was member OF the Republican
state committee from the town OF War
wick. as he is now. At the organization
meeting in the preceding December he
had been chosen chairman, a position he
relinquished Immediately without being
inducted into office. after showing TO the
friends OF Frank Il. Holden that Brayton
was in the saddle. He recommeded the
election OF Col. Harold j. Gross and Col.
Gross was accordingly elected TO the po-
sition which he still holds. having been
reelected last year.

request in the fall by Col. Gross. as he

could merely as a member OF the gener-

''He has now resigned from the execu-

July g. 1906. He is also the Republican

Mr.. Angel said unofficially that in his
opinion unless the woman was in the

opium went far to strengthen the theory
that she committed suicide. He also ex-

ported that he found absolutely no evil

"MOST PROVISION STORES
FILTHY" SAYS DR.. CHAPLIN

Most OF our provision stores, even
many OF those considered frst-class. are
very filthy, and the sights in them would
make you sick to your stomach" said
DR.. Charles v. Chaplin, superintendent Of
the local health department this morn
ing.
The doctor said that recently dealer
who supplied a certain provision to gro
Gerry stores told him that he had never
seen store in this city that was really
clean, although he had visited most OF
them.
DR.. Chaplin cited some OF the conditions
he had seen in some stores. In few or
them the conditions were so fusty that
he was compelled TO warn the proprietors
TO improve their places.

he hopes that the remainder OF them will
also put their places an proper condition.
A bill providing for bakery inspection
was introduced into the general assem-
bly, at the last term. DR.. Chaplin says
that a few years ago he used TO have
them inspected. but he has abandoned
this.
The doctor does not think that a whole
sale cleaning of the grocery stores would
be advisable. as most OF the people
frequenting them have become so accus-
toned to the filthy conditions existing in
them that they do not realize the danger
Therefore, DIR. Chaplin thinks. the public
sentiment would not be with him and
many OF the people would say that he
was trying TO impose unwarranted re-
strictions on the grocery men.

otherwise.

Later Chairman Whiteley and Secretary
Smith both declared that IL would not be
possible for any person who did not
register before June 20 to get his name
on the registry list now.
Those books are closed according 20
law. We open them again only for cor
rections," said Chairman Whiteley. If a
man has registered twice his name Is
stricken off once III he Is real estate
or personal property voter and has regis
tered we leave his name on the books
but do not place II on the voting lists.
EVERY member of the board is sworn
to the faithful discharge OF his duties
and there is a fine of 500 for each name

off the list improperly. That story OF
adding names 90 the list is absurd"

are equally appropriate for linen or wool

however, nothing quite takes the place
Of the Wallachian embroidery, which Is
so popular this season, and can be SO
quickly done. This. by its somewhat
heavy appearance, is specially liked for
cloth or dark linen suits. either done
entirely in white on white linen, in two
or more colors on white or art linens.
or IN white cottons or colored linens.
For instance, TO wear with light
blue or pink linen suit, it were well to
have a coat-set entirely white. A

may be given an extra smart touch by
using a colored linen embroidered in
