To be governor Of a State az thirty-oue
years Of axe. and a Democratic governor

record Of James H Higgins. the present
chief magistrate OF Rhode Island
Gov. Higgins IS a frequent visitor TO
Washington. and has many friends III the
National Capital. He was a graduate Of
the Georgetown Law school in the class
Of 1900.
Born in Rhode Island. he was educated
at the public schools Of his native state,
and opened q law Office in Pawtucket i'm
mediateIy after his graduation from
Georgetown
just after his commencement Of the
tpractice Of law he entered politics. and
enjoys the unique distinction Of passing
from one Office TO another from the time
that he was admitted TO the bar
In the fan OF 1872 he was elected mayor
Of PawtUcket. and was reelected three
years in succession being chief executive
OF the city during the years 1876. 1864, 1895.

has been notorious for years.
In one OF his messages TO the Legislature
the following appeared;
L would suggest ror your early con
