sided The one speaker who did not reside
In the ward was Edward M Sullivan, the
candidate for attorney general on the
Democratic ticket.
Mr. Sullivan has several times before
spoken I'm Ward in favor OF honest DEM
ocracy and last night he got most en-
thusastic reception He did not directly
speak on matters that solely affected the
ward though he found occasion TO speak
FOR the candidates who are on the ward
ticket and have the support of Repre-
sentative Hogan.
In opening the meeting Chairman Mas
terson announced that the Democratic
ward committee had endorsed the ticket
headed by Joseph III. Gamer for Alder
man. Mr.. Gainer was again given a tre-
mendous reception which showed how
thoroughly interested I'm his election the
people OF Smiths hill are He made a
most effective appeal for the suffrages OF
the voters OF the ward and declared no
wished his associates upon the council
ticket elected so the various sections OF
the ward should be represented.
All OF the speakers soundly condemned
the attempt OF Alderman Dunn and his
warden and clerks TO carry the last Dem
ocratic caucus One of the chief points
urged upon the voters was the necessity
Of going TO the polls and rolling up big
majority for the entire Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Gamer spoke at length upon the
last caucus. He did not attack Alderman
Dunn for his official acts as an alder
man. but was satisfied to rest his case
ON the last caucus. He made strong APP
peal to the good men in the ward who
had supported Dunn i'm the, past TO aban-
don him in the interests OF political de-
cency
Representative John w Hogan, In the
course OF long and forceful address. re-
lated his experiences at the railing IN
front of the ballot box on the night OF
the caucus and after going over the sit
uation carefully, said that he watched
the box the entire evening, and he could
not detect man dropping more than one
ballot. but still II was found that there
were several men who were unable to be
present at the polls. and their names
were checked. This demonstrates" he
said, that the men had been trained to
do the trick, and that they are now ex-
perts. II further shows that the follow
ing of Mr.. Dunn is not so strong in the
Third ward as II is reported to be:
There was time In this ward when
above a whisper against Mr.. Dunn, but
things have changed" declared Mr. Ho-
gan
After speaking on general state issues.
he said. speaking OF Boss Brayton's
PROMISE:
THAT means that he will keep out OF
room 2U7. Does he promise TO keep out
of room 206 or room 20S? Do the candi-
dates on the Republican ticket for the
legislature promise TO keep away from
Brayton? You may be sure that IL Re-
publlcans are elected TO the general as
sembly they will see Brayton, and he will
have something to say as to how they
will vote"
Mr.. Sullivan spoke In part as follows:
IL come to the Third ward to appeal to
the citizens OF this ward who want to see
the Republican machine ousted from
power 10 support the entire Democratic
ticket from top to bottom.
"A citizen OF Rhode Island who con-
demns the boss system OF government In
this state cannot be one-fifth a Demo-
crat and four-fifths a Republican, as he
will be IN he votes for a Democratic gov
ernor. and a Republican lieutenant-gov-
ernor. a secretary OF state. an attorney
general and a general treasurer.
II cannot understand how any honest,
man of intelligence can vote
for any man who is nominated by the
Republican machine or support In any
way any candidate for public office who
does not repudiate allegiance to the Re-
publican machine
