Interest, the fault lies not with him; and
the reasons for his failure are too well
understood TO warrant their recitation at
this time.
Unfortunately. the utterly selfish and
shamelessly corrupt element for so many
years dominant in our beloved state has
continued sufficiently powerful to render
imperative the popular will as expressed
al the ballot box: but a battle well begun
is half won. and another year OF energet-
&c effort intelligently directed along care
fully considered lines must compel that
betterment OF conditions so long and so
earnestly sought by a large and repre-
sentative body OF our citizens
In this connection II is a matter OF deep
satisfaction, a cause for hearty congratn-
lation. that the lofty ideals of duty wh,~>
have inspired the course OF our governor
served also as guides of conduct 10 the
faithful and unfaltering Al assemblymen
elected by decency-loving Democrats, as
sisted by other patriotic citizens, citizens
OF noble aims, courageous enough TO uls-
regard the call OF party leaders commit
ted to political standards and methods

thoroughly acquainted with their weak
ness and viciousness.
r, ts unnecessary for me to outline the
issues OF this campaign. They will be full
ly and clearly set forth In the report or
the committee on resolutions TO which
your attention will presently be invited.
And IL would be superiuous 10 say that
the candidate for governor will accept
the commission constituted by the plat
form The resolutions adapted by this
convention will be the authoritative ex-
preston OF the party's position In the
canvass for control OF the states legisla-
tive and executive departments and every
loyal Democrat will unhesitatingly en-
dorse the same.
Mr.. Chairman, the exigencies of the ~
istinI political situation impel US TO a re-
petition OF the fruitful action so wisely
taken last year. The denomination OF our
successful candidate for governor Is i'm
peratively demanded just as Is the re-
OF that knight of civic
honor. Col Robert II. l. Goddard, for the
exalted position OF United States senator.
At such time words are trifiing things:
acts are essential; and we shall be meet

sent US here. whose servants we are.

have, at last, risen in protest against him.
NO THANKS DUE REPUBLICANS.
Progress has indeed been made, but for
that progress no thanks are due to the
Republican party Of this state. Deaf to
the demands of public sentiment for a
full generation. 1t has not only tolerated.
but maintained this man with his dis
graceful system In our very capitol. A q
yet. now that he is doomed to certain de-
strucuon, we may confidently expect our
opponents to turn about face, denounce
lobbying and lobbyists. and with charac-
teristic assurance come before the people
and ask for endorsement on account Of
what they have done against lobbying
and bossism.
our fight against Braytonism, more yet
remains TO be done. The final blow has
yet TO be administered. The boss is dazed
and staggering He must be sent down
forever into political oblivion. He still
remains a member OF the Republican
state central committee and he is the Re-
publican national committeeman from
Rhode Island. He still holds forth daily
In the office of High Sheriff White at the
state house, and with a sort of empty
bravado. trie sto fly In the face OF popu-
lar indignation. We demand his abso-
Lutte and complete retirement from the ac-
tive political life OF this state. We de-
mand that the Republican party OF Rhode
Island oust him from it's influential coun-
ellis and that IL take him out OF the state
house once and for all.
RETIRE SHERIFF WHITE
And we not only demand his complete
retirement, but we call upon them in the
name OF the good citizenship OF this state
TO retire at once the high sheriff OF Prov
idence county. Hunter G.. White, who has
disgraced his office and dishonored the
by permitting his office In
the capitol TO be used as the Headquarters
OF this notorious lobbyist. year ago
our battle cry was: "Brayton must go:'
today. at least part of our battle cry is:
Both Brayton and White must go"
We are also pleased TO report progress
along the hne OF making Legitimate sentI-
ment for the great cause OF constitutional
reform. Year in and year out we have de-
manded that the governor Of this state
be given the veto power; that the system
or representation In our state Legislature
be overhauled and made to conform 10
modern and fair principles; that the prop
erty qualification for voters be abolished.
that the power OF appointment over execti-
tive departments be restored TO the chief
OF the state.
In the last legislature six Republican
members OF the house voted in favor OF
the veto amendment. Certain OF our Re-
publican friends now say that this IA 10
be taken UP and endorsed in their state
convention to be held a few days hence.
| know not how much credit 20 give 10
these reports, but should they finally coma
