MACHINE ORGAN YARNS
NAILED BY REPUBLICANS

1--WE arc quite we'll satisfied with the
situation" ard Chairman Joseph r. Bur-
lingame of the Republican League of
Rhode Island, when his attention was
called today to the machine organs story
OF a big victory for the anti-league men,
who, IL Is asserted, are now in absolute
control of the Republican state commit
tee, and will be able to do about as they
pleased with II.
Chairman Burlngame did not care TO
go into details, but the emphatic manner
In which he expressed himself left little
room for doubt that he knows whereof
he speaks.
One prominent Republican who has
been a consistent hacker of ex-senator
George Peabody Wetmore, said:
IT is PURE FICTION,
THAT Is pure fiction. The friends or
Senator Wetmore, as was shown when
the state central committee indorsed him
for senator and again, when they select
ed Lieut. -Gov Frederick III. Jackson as
the logical candidate for governor, are
in full control of the state committee,
and any officer of that committee can
hold his office not by antagonizing. but
by sufferance of the Wetmore men ON
~ Moreover, the committee has not been
organized yet. nor has It's reorganiza-
tion been even discussed After the next
state convention, at which the new COM
mittee will he announced, II may be In
order to discuss the composition OF the
COMMITTEES and of It's officers, but we are
not gloating over any victory we have
won. or propose TO win, as the facts re-
ponslble fol the present situation speak
for themselves
The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-09-30

"It would appear that, with its usual
penchant for grasping at the shadow and
missing the substance, the Brayton
mouthpiece has erred again. Why IL
should seek to reopen old wounds at this
late date, however would surpass the
comprehension OF any man not CONVEX
SAINT with the shallow murmurers who di-
rect its political course"
SECRETARY BURLINGAME.
Secrearv Robert S. Burlingame OF the
Republican league. who is also deputy
speaker of the house of representatives,
said today: There is absolutely no truth
in that story. so far as IL relates TO my
candidacy Tor secretary OF the state CEN
tral committee. | never had any idea OF
opposing Mr.. Wright, never opposed him
and never heafI-the- subject mentioned
nor saw II anywhere before yesterday"
ANOTHER VIEW
Another strong Republican said: Not
satisfied with stirring up strife in the
Democratic party. where II has many
friends who will trv to do whatever they
are told this sheet is turning its atten-
tion TO the Republican party again, and
seeking 10 make new wounds where II
cannot reopen old wounds. / see that to-
day II is accusing Railroad Commissioners
Burlingame of dipping into the East
Greenwich row anG IL is backing up sam
Allen with all the strength IL can COM
mand / know personally that Mr.. Bur-
lingame has not mixed in the politics OF
the town but that there Is deep-seated
prejudice there against Allen. which has
been manifested on more than one occa-
sion, and long before Mr.. Buringame be-
came a factor IN state politics
