The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1907-10-23
APP0NAUG

Now that both parties have nominated
their tickets the political war is on"
The Democrats and Independents have
arranged for several rallies throughout
the town. while the Republican machine
has arranged for but one meeting thus far
The war in Warwick politics has always
been one-sided, especially In town politics.
The Democrats and Independents have at
tackled the Republican machine with vari-
Gus statements regarding the mlsmanage-
ment OF the towns affairs. In no instance
in the past have they contradlcted any OF
these statements
The town council ticket just nominated
or rather drawn up by General Brayton's
orders. because at the convention, no
nominations were made, the ticket hav-
Ing been previously drawn up and pre-
sented TO the convention as a matter OF
form. contains four, or a majority OF the
members OF this years council and a
glance into the doings OF this body during
the past year will readily convince every
voter that there is need OF a quick
change.
This council has utterly ignored the vio-
lation of the liquor laws on Sundays. The
most flagrant violations OF such laws
have existed during the past year Had
IL not been for the strict attention TO the
Will of .he taxpayers on the part OF Town
Treasurer George Il. Sheldon whom the
Republican machine would like TO have
let down and follow in the footsteps OF
Senator Stiness, by not letting the differ
ent departments contract bills in the ex-
cess OF the amounts appropriated, the
town, no doubt, would have been much
deeper I'm debt than IL Is at the present
time.
After filing the list of nominations for
town officers, Monday evening at $3.50
o'clock. Capt. John Henry Northup. the
veteran leader OF the Republican machine
In Warwick, stated that as now both
parties had filed the list OF candidates the
next thing TO do was TO meet at tho polls
In a friendly manner and fight it out, the
best man win"
One of the most surprising features
about the make up OF the machine ticket
Is the fact that Dr. Long has been induced
to accept denomination. II was stated
some time ago that II the doctor would
accept a denomination he would, I'm the
event OF his being reelected. be chosen
president OF the council. position he
would be justly entitled to. The doctor
has been nominated as fourth councilman
on the ticket and Councilman Barber of
Natick has been nominated as first coun-
Gilman. and. as has been customary in
the past, he will be chosen as president OF
the council. I'm the event of his reelection.
IL Nds yesterday tnat councilman
Barber would not accept a denomination
unless he was assured OF becoming presi-
dent OF the council. Mr.. Barber was too
valuable n vote getter to be let down at
this most critical time so he was given
the promise.
CONDITION IMPROVED.

tracted a case OF diphtheria a few days
ago, is very much improved. He is able

OF II. IL is seldom that this disease af-

have been cured so that the patients were
