Tuesday. This is an excess of 1299 over 1912, the last state election. The list of voters have grown at faster rate than the population, although the. number in many towns of stationary or slow growth shows no increase. In 1902, which, like the present year, was midway between presidential years, the Whole number of voters in the state was 78,542. In 1910 there were 83,9SO, and now there are 1900 more.
 Westerly was among the towns that show g. gain. In the first representa- tive district, in 1912, there were TO5 voters and in 1914 there are 719, a gain of 14; in the second district the num- Der in 1912, was S75 and in 1914 the number is 937, a gain of 62; total gain of 76. In Charlestown in 1912, 2s7, in 1914. 25s. a loss of 2s. In Richmond, in 1912, 3s3, in 1914, 33o a loss of 5S. In Narragansett in 1912, 40S, in 1914, 427; a gain of 21 In Hopkinton, in 1912, 552. in 1914, 542; a loss of 10. In North Kingston, in 1912, 1918, in 1914, 95S. a loss of 60. In South Kingston, in 1912, 1415, in 1914, 1360; loss of 45.
 The districts which gave democratic pluralities for governor in 1912 have
 800 more voters then two years ago while. the republican districts have gained 699. Therefore there is but little difference, and the party strength is figured to be about the same as ir 1912, when a republican governor anG state officers were elected.

From a Jeremi- ad.

From a Jeremi- -ad.
 The dictionary defines "jeremiad" as "a tale of sorrow, disappointment or complaint; a doleful story; a dolorous tirade" which description neatly fits the ads" of Jeremiah Donovan. as printed in a Norwalk paper. From one of these Jeremiah ads we quote:
 Treat your district as yourself! Vote for Congressman Donovan"
 By what mysterious process of reas- ing Congressman Donovan thinks that to vote for him is to treat the dis trict as ones se1f," we cannot conceive, unless, perhaps, the congressman is thinking -of those dark ages when hair shirts and other forms of self-castiga- tion were fashionable.

BROOKLYN CHEERS 7. R.
5000 Struggle to Hear Colo
nePs River of Doubt Lecture.

The same kind of a crowd that
stormed the American Museum or
Natural History a fortnight or so ago
to hear Theodore Roosevelt tell OF his
South American trip greeted him at the
Academy of Music, in Brooklyn, last
night. The colonel's popularity was
attested by the fact that some 5000
persons fought and struggled to get in
side the hall. Finally about $500 were
seated, and besides these there we're
200 or 800 standees.
Colonel Roosevelt told the story or
the now famous River of Doubt and ex-
hibited two reels Of motion pictures
taken by Anthony Fiala. Some of the
pictures showed the waterfalls Of Ut'-
arity, which the ex-President said he
did not think, outside Of Niagara, were
exceeded in volume or beauty by any
falls in the Northern Continent. Lam
tern slides taken by Fiala, George Is.
Cherrie and Kermit Roosevelt also ac-
companied the lecture.
Beforehand there was an informal
reception, at which Dr. George ID.
Brush. of the board Of trustees, and
Charles Carroll Albertson, president OF
the council of associate members, re-
ceived with the Colonel. Cheering that
continued for several minutes greeted
his appearance on the platform.

had full play and which he gave with
both passion and intelligence. Mr..
