Robert III. I. Goddard. / have known him
since boyhood and known him to be an
honest clean, able, good, patriotic citi-
zen. (Applause.)
II spend my time in my attic among the
cobwebs and spiders and books nobody
else cares 10 read and why Is II that at
the age of three score years and ten
am making my appearance on political
pratform.
II have seen that beautiful state house
rising white and noble and thought II
should see laws passed whittier than the
building itself. Instead / have seen writ
ten on that building in the blacklist possi-
BILE colors Laws 10 Sell ] have seen II
made impossible TO pass good laws II
there was money on the other side ana
not then II there was much money OPP
posed To IT,
1.-The machine had its Waterloo at the
last session. You'll ask why then do you
come here again. Well. have read that
a race horse after his back is broken will
run half a mile. Laughter.) The ma
chimes backbone is broken. but IL does
not know 1t. (Applause)
I'm closing i give you that old watch
ward, a long pull, strong pull and
pull all together and victory vii be ours,
Great applause and cheers.)
Ex-Gov. l.. +. G.. Garvin spoke for the
Blackstone Valley. He said the action
OF the Democratic party had been fully
vindcated. II had been shown that u
was plainly the duty OF this convention
TO repeat Its action. He paid a warm tri-
butte 10 Gov. Higgins. who. he said. had
done his full duty and also lauded the
Al Democratic-Lncoln party assembly
men.
81 believe a large majority of the peo-
pie of this state want Col. r. II. l. God
dard and the duty OF placing him before
them again is before us now. j, there-
fore, deem II a great honor TO do So
(Applause)
Amasa M. Eaton said: "Mr. Chairman
As an Independent, not as Democrat
applause continued until he took the
platform) II second the nomination or
Col r. H. l. Goddard" whom he declar-
ed TO be an Head candidate
Col Quinn then called for ex-Mayor
John ]. Fitzgerald OF Pawtucket. VINO
was received with prolonged applause. lie
said he was a little late in time, but not
sterling citizen who helped save from
the Banigan block the United states sem
atorship. I'VE OF the Democratic party
believe the situation calls for some such
action as we have advocated. We say 20
the people that a good Republican, ono
inspired with the principles OF Abraham
Lincoln, is not too good for us to sup
port. Applause)
II cannot see how any person who be-
lieves this can fined any reason for not
supporting him. AS Democrat feel
honored In seconding his nomination nrd
in voting for those who will help elect
him.
1T seems TO me that all OF us can unite
on such a broad purpose rather than for
the mere purpose OF getting the Offices
for ourselves.
When the contest is between a man
who represents high ideals and believes
in putting them into practice and. man
who believes I'm the power OF Doodle,
believe the people will have no hesitancy
in placing Col Goddard In the senatorial
chair" (Applause)
Mayor Clarke OF Newport seconded Col.
Goddard's nomination in behalf OF the
democracy OF that city.
