There is a lively political campaign fin progress in Connecticut. but it is as nothing in comparison with what is going on in that line in Rhode Is- land, where rallies are held nearly ev- cry hour during the day and well into the night, and this activity seems tc actually increase as election day draws near. Many novel features are being introduced to attract people to the meeting places to hear the political issues discussed by professional spell binders. There was republican rally at Foster Wednesday night. the first in forty years An oyster supper was served the three hundred residents of the town who attended.
 z George H. Sheldon of the republican town committee is to see Foster and go one or two better, at the republican rally to be held in South Kingston next Monday night. MT. Sheldon says: "A vaudeville entertafnment. minstrel show, band concert, music by an or chestra and free dancing are some of the things that will attract to the rally. Of course there will be tae usual speaking, the Hamlet of the play. but fin addition we are going to ha. c first class vaudeville show from Eos ton and after the entertainment and speaking the chairs will be removed from the floor and there will be danc- ing to the music by Lewis Colored society orchestra, which played at ti.e Casino at Narragansett during the summer. Members of the orchestra will provide the minstrel show. also, and the committee is going to give a souvenir to every man and woman present. We are not going to leave it to the speakers alone to draw crow d and we believe that by the arrange ments we have made there will be a packed house"
