RHODE ISLAND.
Sensational Campaign for Attorney
General-Light Vote Expected.

Providence, r. L., Nov. 1.-The sensa-
| ticral campaign conducted by the Demo-
| cratic candidate for attorney general,
James A. Williams, has aroused more
tl'an ordinary interest for an off year In
| tomorrow'S election, but despite this fact
an unusually large vote is not anticipated.
Mr.. Williams has charged that under the
| administration during the past six years
Of Attorney General William b. Green
ough Republican candidate for re-elec-
ton, the laws have not been properly
enforced. Both the Republican and Dem
ocratic party managers were confident to-
night. The Republicans declared that
Gov. Aram J. Pothier would easily be re-
elected, together with the balance of the
state ticket, while the Democrats assert
ed that Olney Arnold would undoubtedly
be the next governor of Rhode Island.
| The Republicans also claimed that they
would have no difficulty in securing a
safe majority in the next Legislature.
! OF the three constitutional amendments
placed before the voters tomorrow, that
giving the veto power to the governor Is
supported by both parties. The Republic
cans favor the amendments re-district-
ing the state by Assembly districts and
making the lieutenant governor, instead
of the governor. the presiding officer of
the State Senate. The Democrats oppose
both of these amendments, charging that
the Republicans plan gerrymander Of
the state under the re-districtng amend
ment. The municipal elections in Provi-
dence also occurs tomorrow and there Is
a close contest between the present Re
publican mayor Henry Fletcher and his
Democratic opponent, James P. Thurston.
