The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-10-29
APP0NAUG

Another sample of small politics on the
part Of the Republican machine was
shown during the last two or three days
Iithograph pictures of Gov. Higgins
and Col. r, III. 1. Goddard have been
posted broadcast throughout the town.
These faces are not In the least bit be-
coming to the opponents or these TWO no
BILE citizens. There is not single pic
ture of one OF the machine candidates
posted in the town. One of these pictures
OF the governor occupied a conspicuous
place in the postofrice at Natick. up un-
til last Saturday. when Ii was suddenly
removed, as were also notices OF Dem
ocratic and Lincoln party rally. The post
Office is a place where a great many peo-
pie pass In and out during the day IL is
supposed that no picture of Gov. Hig-
gins opponent could be obtained
The removal of these posters and pic
lures Is acknowledged by all fair-mino
ed citizens to be one of the smallest po-
ltical acts ever perpetrated In the town,
than enemies for the governor. This
friendship was shown at the rally ned
in Riverpoint last Saturday night, where
the governor AMI Rathbone Gardner
spoke. The reception these speakers re-
ceived was positive proof thGS War
wick for the first time in years, will send
an independent delegation to the general
largest gathering ever assembled in the
Pawtuxet Valley on such an occasion.
APPONAUG WOMAN INJURED.
Mrs. Mary Moon OF this village was
among the injured which resulted from
Providence bound car from Pawtucket
jumping the switch and running into
Branch avenue car Sunday night
Mrs. Moon received a severe cut on the
neck and is considerably bruised. Aside
vous shock, which confines her to her
bed, and II Is as yet unknown whether

time of the collision she was on Her way
In "a n dis N
Pawtucket. Her clothing was consider
ably damaged from being trampled upon
during Ia the rush tS gs, 3as Of the
Town Treasurer George K. Sheldon has
had bis annual report printed and copies
have been mailed 20 all taxpayers In the
town. 1t is freely admitted. especially by
some OF the oldest settlers in the village,
that this report is the most explicit and
concise document ever received by them,
and 1t certainly shows that Mr.. Sheldon
L. the right man in the right place. a
man in whome the taxpayers can feel safe
that the towns finances are carefully
guarded, and that no department will
contract bills for larger amounts than
appropriated.
"A glance at the treasurers report will
bear out the facts that the council OF 1906
accomplished moro for the town and
with much smaller expense to the tax
payers. All fair-minded people who are
deslrotSs OF having their money expended
where 1t will net the greatest good for
all, will cast their votes one week from
today for the Democratic and Lincoln
party candidates. majority of whom
served on the town council OF 1906.
REFORM RALLY.
A rousing rally by the Democratic and
Lincoln party will be held in the town
hall. Apponaug. next Saturday evening.
The speakers of the evening have not yet
been decided upon, but II Is quite likely
that Governor Higgins. Senator Rathbone
Gardner, Theodore Francis Greene and
others Will be present. IL Ia the intention
OF the above parties 10 make this the
banner rally In the town, especially as
Apponaug Is the home OF Boss Bray
ton.
Through an error IL was reported In this
paper last evening that Mrs. Pardon Ben
nett had died Saturday evening. IL should
have read Mrs. Pardon Spencer. Her
funeral will be held this afternoon from
her late home on the centreville road.
