As has been the custom since the
practical disappearance of democracy
from local politics, the republican
town committee has taken unto itself
the preparation of political slate for
formal approval of republican caucus,
staid members of the party who de-
clare their independence and their
competency to select candidates for
town officers who they believe should
be nominated for the best interests of
the town. A republican nomination
spells election.
This opposition to committee is
based on the belief that some of the
committeeman place their personal in
terests above party welfare and even
to the extent of getting political Of
fee for themselves.
It is known that an arrangement
was made few years ago, that Rep
resentative Joseph T. Murphy after
tire in order that one of the commit
teemen could succeed him. This
agreement did not suit Francis G.
Haswen and before the gentlemen's
agreement had expired, he stepped into
| the political arena and succeeded Mr..
| Murphy. Now there is an effort to
dislodge him by removing him from
membership in the town council, as a
starter
| 1t has been strongly limited that
1 Us
| is not to be a candidate for renomina-
| ton, and Representative Albert H.
| Langworthy is booked as his success
sor Councilman Maurice W. Flynn is
considered the logical candidate to
| succeed Representative Langworthy.
1t ought therefore be very plain to
understand the action of. a town COM
mittee, or rather a portion thereof
two members of which are avowed
candidates for legislative honors, in
an effort to kill off Councilman Flynn
and Haswell, politically, for their own
| advancement. Should the gentlemen
named be defeated as candidates for
the council, it is natural political
sequence that their legislative ambi-
tious are squelched.
At the meeting of the town commit
| tee an effort was made to keep from
the political slate the names of Coun-
cilmen William Culley, Maurice w.
Flynn, Francis G. HaswelI and How
ard Thorpe. All the members of the
town committee were not present and
a vote to drive this four from the
political arena failed. Then the pro-
jectors managed to have final action
deferred until a later meeting.
Should the town committee omit
J these names from the slate, at least
three of the four, Messrs. Flynn, Has
well and Thorpe will fight the COM
mittee's nominations in open caucus
and show up the deal that is being
contemplated by this preliminary play
J William Culley, president of the coun-
Gil, has been requested by many
, friends to accept denomination, but Ii
is understood that by reason of his
health he is to retire from his trade
as stone cutter, and engage in some
other work. that would not permit him
to serve in the town council. The

day night. The town committee viii

slate will probably be made public al

The proposed demonstration of the
military contingent of the Rhode Is
land State College In Westerly on
Monday, en- route 10 Fort Wright,
duty, did not materfalize. There was
consequent disappointment, especially
among the students of the Westerly
High school, who were given a recess
and assembled in front of the post Of
flee to give the college soldier boys the
glad hand as they marched along. The
boys arrived in Westerly from Kings
ton on schedule time, and they plan
ned to march and maneuver, and in
dulge in ceremonial before moving
picture camera, and as q result Vest
.eriy was to receive some Aim adyertiS-
ing and the Kingston boys given Mary
Pickford prominence. But rain pre-
vented this public demonstration and
the soldier boys were taken in special
trolley cars from the railway station
to Watch Hill, and from the car ter
minal liked to the government reSer-
walton of Fort Mansfield, where they
boarded a transport and were landed
at Fort Wright The rain Of itself
would not have prevented the parade,
had the boys been equipped with uni
form overcoats, and to march in nom
descript oyercoatS there would have
been display of military abandon that
would appear ridiculous in a moving
picture Aside from the overcoats,
which were essential under the con-
ditions that prevailed Monday the boys
are fully equipped with parade and
part service uniforms, as well as arms,
blankets and the usual outfit of the
soldier in heavy marching order.
The collegians will be in Westerly
again next Sunday on the return trip
and it is planned to hold the military
exercises then, and along the same
lines as were to have taken place on
Monday morning.

Joseph s. GriIIs declares that there
was no disturbance in his saloon Friday
night and that the three young fellows
connected with the stabbing ARRAY
came into his place Just before closing
time. He says there was no row, that
the trio went into the toilet together,
and when they came out Pignalori said
that Gincerell had stabbed him. 1t
was then within a few minutes OF IL
o'clock, and he cleared the saloon, as
required by law. He said Pignalori
showed no signs of injury and he did
not believe that Pignalori had been
stabbed. AS a matter of fact Grills
says that the injury was so trivial that
Pignalori went to his work as usual
Monday morning. Grills added that he
did not think any of the young fellows
had drink in his saloon.
Chief of Police Brown says PignaIori
is confined to his home with the wound
| bandaged and that he is under the care

During the past week the writer examined
four newspapers and five periodicals, and in each
publication found that considerable space was given
to preparedness" every one of these articles was
written with the sole object in view of warning
the people that are unprepared as nation to
resist either military or commercial aggression
Preparedness does not mean just the ability
to be expert with weapons, either as individuals
collectively. 1t means that our social and COM
mercial life must undergo the tempering of CO.
hesiveness 1t meant each individual must do his or
her share to make little better people in every
way; in the final analysis it means that we pre-
pare to cooperate more, one with another in the
every day details of life, to the end that we stand
prepared commercially socially and in every other
way to defend this wonderful country of ours
This is the spirit of preparedness and the indv-
dual does his share toward attaining the desired
end, not by condemning individuals and institu-
lions, but by watching and correcting his own m is

excellent working knowledge of the system of stem

the expert in rebuttal. stated that after about eight
ten months of dligent study the novice should be
able to write from 14O to 100 words per minute
Now, is there any system extant, by which one
could learn to WRITE say fifty words within short
space of time? Any who says he can dictate
more than fifty at the most seventy-fve words
per minute for any length of time, is perhaps un-
knowingly laying himself open to criticism.
Besides, dictaphones are rapidly entering the

welcome introduced the organization to the expect
ant audience who joined in a hearty applause of

Soldier Song from Faust Jolly Fellows; Star
Spanged Banner; Boy and the Owl, and Friendship.
Also several vocal solos were rendered that were
