Zens of Worwick who favor either Col
Colt or Col. r. III. l. Goddard. will have
any influence in causing him TO reconsider

the end of his present term. Moreover,
the old party Warwick, Gen Brayton,
still has influence In Warwick, and that

exceedingly hl1ely TO be exerted against

THE wETMORE PROGRAM.
SO far as could be ascertained today the
Wetmore program for the state central
committees meeting tomorrow viii be one
of receptive silence. though there may be
a question or two asked I'm order to draw
out the other side who are 80 strenuously
advocating harmony that they would
fight 10 n finish for IT,
'Our supporters in the state commit
tee," said a prominent Wetmore man to-
day, Twill play the part the cavalry plays
in an ehgagement--they will unmask the
enemies batteries and then we shall
know just how TO conduct the engagement
that Is pending.
'Tf the species OF harmony that is
being advocated by the Colt side con-
sists in a demand for the acceptance

MACHINE ATTENDS SCHOOL.
The headquarters OF the Republican
organization on the second floor OF
the Butler exchange were closed this
morning and card on the door bore
the statement that the organization
! had gone TO the Brown university COM
mencement. Evidently that Y0erred
to Judge Nathan NJ. Wright, se0fetary
| OF the committee, who Is In charge
and who is a graduate of Brown uni
versity.
'Tt seems eminently ftting," said a
visitor who was barred out this morn
ing because OF the locked doors. that
| in the campaign of education that is
I approaching the organization should
attend or be represented at some of
these educational functions. as there
probably Is no political organization
| in this politics-ridden state, or coun-
| try that so sorely needs instruction
than as do the state machine con-
| ductors."
Col Colt, so far as Information re-
| ceived in this city today revealed, has
not yet gotten out of the Maine woods
| to which he went three weeks ago
| for rest and sport. He is expected in
Boston this evening and will probably
be here in time for consultation with
| his advisers prior to the meeting OF
| the state committee tomorrow.
