The outing of republicans in New port last week, and the entertain ment given by F. Livingstone Beck man at his Lands End estate, has man by the party leaders for the office of lieutenant governor, and also in general review and consid- erat1on of the politics of the state in the event of the present incum-
 bent. Mir. Bliss, being appointed state tax commissioner, an office yet to be created, he will withdraw in favor of MT Beekman- It is given out that already MT. Beekman has the united support of the party lead CTS in Washington county.
 Governor Pothier will be renonni- and the only change in the state ticket will be that of lieutenant gov ernor.
 There is general unanimity in the party throughout the state with the possible exception of the rupture in Westerly Some of the local party men are urging Representative AL bert H. sLangworthy to enter into a mold as Westerly's representative in the state senate.
 There are to be two representatives from Westerly in the general assem- bly, under the redistricting law, and in the event of MT. LangWorthy en- tering into a contest for the senato- rial nomination he must give up his present sure opportunity of contin- uing as member of the lower house With MT. Langw wOrthy out of the rep- reSentative race there is talk of nom mating William l.. Clark, the thread mill manager, as the successor Of MT. LangwOrthy. Up to the present the only candidates announced as after the nomination for second represen- tative on the republican side are Jo seph T. Murphy and Thomas w Bid dles- It is doubtful whether the dem ocrats will make any nominations either for senator or representatives, as there are not enough of them in Westerly to make a. respectable showing By combination hIna tbit f1ur they really did elect two democrats and a prohibitionist to membership in the town council.
