NEWPORT May ELECT SOLID
DEMOCRATIC DELEGATION
Ex-S Senator Wetmore's Speech Friday Night Ma
teriay Improved Democratic Chances-It Looked
Like a Split Delegation Before lie Made Bad
Breaks.

1 red the blood to boiling point.of men who
admire always fair play and this Is q
characteristic OF the average man, conse
quently Inestimable is the harm he has
done himself. and the whole assembly
ticket
This one mistake will cost him hun
dreds OF votes, and because the sentiment
OF "Wetmoreism" Is dead the whole as
sembly ticket will suffer.
THE G.. o. p. CANDIDATES.
Voters having made their estimate OF
the asplrant for senatorial honors. unfor-
tunately their attention and thoughts have
drfted into a study OF Sanborn, Hassard
Burlingame and Burdick, whose records
II scanned contain no inspiration and no
reason for gratitude or confidence. In
stead Of willingness 10 discuss state is
sues, In which they seem little Interested.
they have worked night and day for the
past year 10 prove TO Mr.. Wetmore their
allegiance TO him. People have now I'm
bibed the full significance OF their past
weakness. They say return Wetmore IL
only 70 back UP the policies OF President
Roosevelt Listeners TO this argument
have considered II quite seriously, but now
that they know this selfish man, they
question whether this Is not an argument
in favor OF his opponent. Wetmore Is GER
tainly not In sympathy with railroad leg
islation, and curtailing OF trust priv1-
leges, any more than Is Senator Aldrich.
whose stand during the last session is
well known.
Tonight is scheduled the dinner OF the
Republican club. when all good Republi-
cans will be enjoined to rally around the
declining cause OF "Wetmoreism." the
young men particularly. and work on
Tuesday for an Issue in which at this
day they have lost all confidence. Speak
ers will admit that corruption has exist
aI In no a,rtu of THAR rhnira and fhaV
will argue In favor OF fighting IL from
within. This Is the same advice that has
been offered for years. yet rotten oondd-
tons have continued and will continue ia
exist as long as the same old leaders are
reelected.
Newport has this year thrust upon It the
making OF a decision that will show TO the
state and the nation It's manllness and Its
unwillingness to bow before the power OF
money. and unless all present signs fail,
Newporters will acquit themselves as do
all freeborn citizens dwelling under the
glorious Stars and Stripes.
Your correspondent would enlarge on his
previous statement in regard TO the out
look on Tuesday and say that Newport Is
liable 10 send TO Providence complete
Democratic delegation. and no Republican
can be blamed but the most interested
party, Mr.. George Peabody Wetmore.
DIDN'T CRITICISE wETMORE.
To the Editor s-Democrat:
You quote me in tonights paper as Civ
ing voice TO criticism OF Senator Wet
more In relation to our building move
ment before our Womens Auxiliary.
Your statement is incorrect. Senator
Wetmore has shown unusual activity In
aiding our building movement, and 1 can
but admire his skill and intelligence In
relation to the same.
