It is almost martyrdom for man to declare himself to be a true-blue democrat in Westerly and in conse- quence such a man is almost as scarce as copperhead snakes feet. But that did not prevent the holding of a big republican rally, with brass band ac- compartment, in the town hall, Tues day night, and, as a republican leader put it: There's no need for republi- can oratorv in this republican town, and there is DO occasion for strength ening the republicans in the faith they have in them. The speakers ought to have operated in a less fertile field"
 The republicans realized that the town hall was not large enough to accommodate all the republicans of the town. so many remained at home. Still the town hall was filled and en : thusiasm prevailed from the opening cf the rally to the close thereof.
 Senator Louis ". Arnold presided and at the opening made a brief speech predicting republican success in the state and nation. just as it was sure to be in Westerly. If all towns were like Westerly, there would be no dem ocratic wind tanning or big political expenditure of the coin of the realm. In introducing the speakers. the sen ator indulged in plesantries, that paved the way for free flow of ora tory, and gave to each speaker oppor- tunity for pleasant preliminary re- marks before entering upon the serious part of their speeches, that demon strated the destructive policy that would ensue were the democrats re- tained in power.
 Professor Eugene Thackery, of liar yard was fully charged with the po- litical issues of the presidential cam paign. His strong points were so numerous that the applause was al- most continuous.
 Judge Orrin R. Huntley, of Alabama, who has been stumping since the open ing of the campaign, under the direc- tion of the national committee, made a rousing speech, which created much enthusiasm and received great ap- plause. He raked the democratic craft fore and aft, and from southern standpoint, impressed upon his hearers that the only seaworthy craft in the present political turmoil was the republican ship of state.
 Ira w. Leets, of Harvard Hughes League. added to the political oratory, explained the true republican prin- ciples and urged the young voters to stick to the republican party and all that it means for the public good Congressman Walter R. Stiness, who has been renominated to succeed him. self, told of the many mistakes that had been made by the present demo cratic administration, and stated that the bright future of the nation could not obtain under a continuation of democratic misrule. He also made glowing tribute to the capabilities and the good work accomplished by the present state officers who are can- didates for reelection, and who are en- titled to approval by all the people of Rhode Island.

 Westerly is a political paradise, g place where office holders and pros- pective office holders are not required to come across with money, and where the town committee does not solicit subscriptions for local campaign fund, a place where no party money is used in legitimate political expenses as none is required. The only election expenses are for the payments of cleo ton officials and these are paid from the town treasury.

The sale of the Briggs buiIdinq in the business center of Westerly to Wendell Block, is practically a sale to the same combination Of Worcester people who purchased the nearby LOT ra:Ee property and which now controls not only the border property in two states, but also along the frontage of the bridge that practically connects the two properties. This sale revives the rumor that large concern with stores in Westerly, Norwich, New London and elsewhere, had made a substantial offer for the Brown prop erty in High street, which extends from the Porter-Langworthy building to the new bank building of the In- dustrial Trust company and which is covered by the Brown building, a handsome brick structure and the building which served as a temporary post office while the present marble structure was being erected and which now contains five stores. As the Brown property was not for sale, this same concern opened negotiations for the purchase of the Otis Chapman build- ing. corner Borad and Main streets, and opposite the Briggs. building, but without success. It is understood that the Washington Trust company has made a standing offer for the Chap man property, and in the event of ma turity for sale, the trust company would be given first option.
