former pastor of the Seventh day Bap-
fist church in Westerly, and subse-
ouently superintendent of the Massa-

license cities and to the fact that in
Massachusetts only one saloon is al
lowed for every 1000 inhabitants,
while Rhode Island permits a saloon
for every 500.
He said that not until caucuses and
primaries are dominated with Chris
tan citizenship will it be politically
Unsafe for legislators to DO wrong and
politically safe for them to do right.
Mr.. Davis is active in Westerly re-
publican politics. and was recently Sc
lected delegate to the state conven-
ton; it is said he will endeavor to be
chosen to succeed Judge Oliver H.
