what great or lasting benefit would
come to the people Of Rhode Island
If they elect Lewis A. Waterman as
governor. His political experience
is confined to one term IN the General
Assembly. He might make a great
record il elected, and he might not
rise above the ordinary level OF men
who have held the office. In other
words, he is an experiment.
