sand counties in this republic, and the

calculated to be $4,000 tie year This

would be more than worth the money.

A GOOD CHANCE IN LITTLE nuony

speak in all places. In the platform
are planks favorlng the direct election
OF United States Senators by the peo-
pie Federal Income tax and n
reasonable regulation OF the trusts
while In the same document President
tart Is condemned for his vctoes OF re-
cent tariff legislation.
The platform, in the opinion OF tho
Boston Globe, Is much more progress
siNe than any that the Rhode Island
Republicans can be expected TO in
dorse. The campaign will make tho
Republicans stand out sharply as
standpatters. while the Democrats will
be on advanced ground The chances
Tor Waterman are bright. and he
shouid be able to put Pothier to night.

from a wholly disinterested point of

renominated. If he cannot be elected.
no Republican could be elected. and

Pinchot does not like Mr.. Taft. He
hasn't liked him since Mr. Taft accept

in this way since he became President.
But Pinchot is not to be ucckoned

Democrats to do is to put up can
