WETM0R|TES WILL
MAKE 4 PUBLIC
STATEMENT SOON

Former Senator George Peabody Wet
more did not permit the suspicion OF a
doubt concerning his candidacy for re-
election TO linger In the mind OF any
member of his campaign committee at
their conference yesterday, IL any had
been entertained.
He declared emphatically that he be-
lieved he represented the. desire of the
rank and file OF the Republican party
when he entered the senatorial race last
year, and that he had received such as
surances from friends all over the state
OF continued support. because of public
sentiment in his favor that he felt II was
his duty 20 keep UP the fight in which he
had enlisted.
These sentiments were most heartily
endorsed by the members of his cam
paign committee, most of whom expressed
the utmost confidence OF bringing about
the results desired. Robert Ives Gam
nell and Gen. Charles A. Wilson were not
present but nearly all OF the following
members brought encouraging news: Gen.
William Ames, ex-senator Jonthan Chace,
William r. Hunter, ex-Gov. Charles Dean
Kimball, Col Henry F. Lppitt. Walter
Whipple. William II. Sheffield, Col. Web
ster Knight, Hon. Joseph p. Burlngame.
Hon. Robert S. Btrllngame and Robert
S Rodman.
II Is understood that a public announce
ment of great interest will be made in a
few days in connection with the ex-sena-
tors candidacy.
The Newport men declared emphaticaly
that that city is still loyal 10 Wetmore,
and will send a delegation TO the next
Republican state convention, as we'll as to
the next general assembly, Instructed TO
vote for his indorsement and election.
The Tribune, Col. Colts organ, does not
represent either the Republican party or
Republican sentiments" said a Wetmore
man today. THAT fact will he made plain
before the coming campaign is half
ended"
II was also stated today that the ex-
senator's headquarters on the fourth
floor OF the Butler exchange. will be ma
teriahy enlarged in preparation for the
extensive campaign work that is TO begin
Immediately
I'VE would take almost an entire floor
II we could get it." said one Wetmoreite.

GAS VICTIM
REMOVED To
HOSPITAL

A man who registered as william
Leonard at the Hotel Lenox last evening
was found in his bed this noon a victim
OF gas poisoning. and on advice OF DIR.
Herbert Terry. who was summoned to at
tend him, he was removed to the Rhode
Island hospital in the ambulance.
The man registered as from this city.
placing his name In the hotel book at $3.50,
and went at once TO the room on the
third floor assigned to him.
During the evening he went out and re-
mained for a short time and when he re-
turned he went directly to his room, and
nothing more was seen OF him until soon
after IL o'clock today when he was found
in his bed unconscious.
The plight OF the man was discovered
by the housekeeper OF the hotel. Mrs.
through the corridor of the third floor.
smelled gas and traced the odor to the
room occupied by Leonard. She at
once called the porter who broke I'm
the door and sent for Dr. Terry. The
physician applied restoratives and then
ordered the mans removal TO the hos
pital.
At the hotel II is said that evidently
the man did not attempt TO commit
suicide, as there was no evidence that
Leonard had tried TO make the room
1t is believed that the partial
asphyxlation was accidental The room
is lighted by combination bracket
Of gas and electricity, and IL is be-
lieved that when Leonard shut off the
electric light he unknowingly opened
the gas cock.
- the hospital this afternoon con
ard was said to be unconscious and in
dangerous condition.
Leonard, at the hotel, was said TO
be about 65 years old, tall and spare,
and wearing side whiskers. He had no
baggage, and did not seem to be
known, although there was a belief
that he had roomed at the hotel be-
fore.

DEMOCRATS SEEK
TO END FRAUD i'm
REGISTRATION

Up to a late hour this afternoon the
board had not granted nor denied the re-
quest, and the temper OF at least one
member OF the board did not seem TO
show that the request was viewed in a
friendly spirit.
When asked whether the board would
permit a representative OF the Demo-
cratic organization to appear there and do
the work requested, the board members
present at the time were non-committal.
Their attention was called to the fact
that a former employe of the Republican
organization was in their office last year
doing work I'm connection with the voting
lists. and they explained that he was in
the boards employ at the time and was
paid by the city. OF Providence.
"The only work this board has done for
any political party" said Chairman
Whitley, was I'm issuing certified copies
OF the voting lists, for which 1t was paid
by the political organizations for whom
they were prepared. The Democrats got
ia copies last year and paid STA for them.
We are always willing TO furnish such
copies when we have the time but II the
election is near and pressure OF work is
strong we cannot neglect the other du-
ties OF the board in order TO accommodate
the political committees.
DEMOCRATS ASK FAVORS.
'The Democrats ask more favors OF the
board. anyway. than the Republicans do"
said Mr.. Molloy. who explained that one
man as a representative of political
party might not be in the boards way
but that a representative OF each party
would undoubtedly be in the way. Still
the board had not yet discussed the SUBJ
feet matter OF the Donahue letter, he
said, and would doubtless In season give
IL the consideration 1t merited.
The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-05-17

That the Democratic city and state or
ganizations are determined that any at
tempts to colonlze voters in this city in
the interest OF the Republican machine
shall be nipped in the bud was plainly
indicated this morning. when the follow
ing request was filed with the board OF
canvassers and registration by Chairman
Thomas II. Donahue OF the Democratic
city committee:
Providence. r. l., May IL, 1907
To the Board OF Canyassers and
Registration.
Gentlemen: For the purpose of
keeping informed as TO registration In
the city of Providence. and thus being
able to detect fraudulent registration
I am instructed by the committee ap-
pointed by the Democratic state cen
trai committee to request OF you that
without interference with the business
OF carrying on registration-we be al
lowed TO take the names or men as
they register. This can readily De
done in having a man In the public
part OF your Office who would not in
terfere with either the clerks regis
tering voters or with the voters.
We have learned in former years
that II was impossible after May TO
get the list Of voters who registered,
until long after the closing OF regis
tration.
BY having this knowledge we are
enabled not only 10 detect fraudulent
registration. but also will be able TO
spend the time In urging voters who
have not registered TO perform their
duty, rather than TO spend the time on
voters who have already registered
We believe that you are willing 10 DO
your part in order that all persons
qualified TO become voters may particl-
pate in the elections.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) THOMAS II. DONAHUE,
On behalf OF state committee on reg
istration.

NUMBERS ON
AUTOMOBILES
MUST Be CLEAN

In order that automobilists may be
held more strictly accountable to tho
laws. the police commissioners have or
dered that numbers on all machines must
be kept clean, so that they will be per-
fectly legble at all times.
Autoists have several times been told
by patrolmen that IL the numbers could
be given washing. much trouble might
be avoided but as the suggestion was
not needed for any length of time, the
order has been promulgated.
The custom of some autoists to hang
the number so far back OF the front axle
that II cannot be readily seen. is forbid
den by an order from the commission
ers as the law requires that license num-
bers shall be placed in plain sight on
the front and rear of the machine, that
they may be easily read.
Automobilists as a rule are complying
with the orders issued
