BRAYTON'S MEN
NAME TOWN TICKET

The adjourned meeting OF the Warwick
Republican town convention was held last
evening in Armory hall in Apponaug.
Gen. Brayton was again in Apponaug last
Sunday for the sole purpose OF making up
the town ticket. The convention was
called for 7:3O p. m.
1t was certainly very tame affair
About all of the business was done Sc
cretly. The only person outside OF the
delegates that knew the makeup OF the
ticket before it was filed was Tribune
minutes and the ticket could have been
filed at o'clock. This is another sample
of Braytons dictation to his lieutenants.
The present town treasurer is George
f. Sheldon. He was nominated by Re
publican town council TO I'LL a vacanAY
caused by the death OF the late Treasurer
John b. Allen. He has performed his du-
ties TO the letter and has made a clean
record, proving that he was the right
man In the right place. The Democrats,
as they are always accustomed to, en-
dorsed such an honest and upright meth
cd of government by nominating him on
their ticket for the position he now holds.
This was a bitter pill for the machine
TO swallow. They did not want Mr.. Shell
don nor did they dare TO nominate man
against him.
The ticket filed with the town clerk
last night is follows:
Moderators, Clarence o. Carpenter, Dis
trict No. L. A. +. HILL District No. 2.
Dwight Adams. District No. 81 Joseph Z.
Burlingame. District No. 4: Frank w.

At the Republican caucus held in tho
town hall last evening Tax Assessor Levi

that Mr. w. l.. Sunderland of Pawtuxet,
who was said to be general manager OF
the East Providence Republican party
worked In Pawtuxet, slept In Providence
and had a family in East Providence"
cheer ever heard at a political gathering
in the hall. and when Mr.. Sunderland OF
Pawtuxet made an effort TO deny the
statement, he was greeted with Kisses and
would undoubtedly have been hissed down,
had II not have been for the moderator,
William c. Bliss, who made the state
mont that every voter should have fair
show.
This tilt was brought about when Mr..
Winchester was nominated for tax as
SCISSOR and Mr. Sunderland asked IL Mr.
Winchester did not have in his possession
at the time nomination papers which he,
Mr.. Winchester. proposed TO file with the
town clerk in case he did not get the nom
ination at the caucus. and Mr. Winchester
very quietly replied that he had been a
resident of East Providence for 50 years
and had held an Office for more than %
any OF Mr.. Sunderland's business.
Mr.. Sunderland did not deny any por-
tion of Mr. Winchester's statementS otrrr
than he did not sleep In Providence. and
at this time some one told Mr.. Winches-
ter TO change the word Providence 10 Au-
burn and perhaps none OF the statements
could be denied.
The fight was between Mr.. Sunderland
and Mr.. Winchester and was carried so

ment was given out by President Golden:
Thus far the management of the COM
pany has had no official notice OF our ac-
tion I'm tho matter OF this discharge. The
sentiment at last nights meeting seemed
TO be unanimous on the point that Mrs.
Tuite's discharge was entirely unjustiied
and that she should be relnstated. The
meeting therefore appointed a committee
TO interview the management and IL will
follow the advice OF the meeting within
the next 4s hours. II is our firm belief
that the management will readily realize
the justice OF our claims In this matter.
and we assuredly expect that Mrs. Tuitc
will be back at work before the close OF
