While there is really only one po- iiticai party in Westerly, there is full ty as much discord as if there were two distinctly defined parties, and all over the nominations for representa- tives to the general assembly In the Second district, those who have strongly advocated standing by the nominee of the town committee are now out in the open in favor of Rev. Samuel H. Davis. as against Maurice w. Flynn. who has received the con- m1ttee endorsement. Even the local daily newspaper that has heretofore advocated the support of the commit tee nominees, is out for MT. Davis, and attorney, as Sam" Davis. per haps in order to give the impression that he is one of the boys in the po- Htical game, and is one of the com mon people.
 In this district the issue seems to tween the real good people, designated in other places as the kid glove and silk stocking crowd. as against tue business and the working class. It is said that member of the commit tee who is supposed to announce the action of the committee to the eau GUS has declared that he will resign before performing that duty, giving as a reason that while he has nq ob- jection to MT. Flynn as a suitable GtiuuluaIe, ne would not present his lame to the caucus, as he was op- posed to the element that he alleges $ back of MT. Flynn. and that he will not be governed by the commit
 a2's action. and will vote for Sam Davis.
 Mir. Flynn has always been a con- sistent republican and has always taken interest in the success of the party, has served several terms in
 he town council and is now it's pres dent. While MT. Davis. was serving ls church pastor. he was a pronounced prohibitionist, and later was secretary of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon eague, and since he became a law yer and relocated in Westerly, he was official lecturer for the Connecticut State Temperance Union. He made an unsuccessful effort to succeed Judge Williams in the Third district court, has indicated his desire to be town solicitor. and now wants to be representative.

ney Fitzgerald, MT. Morrison resumed His testimony at the afternoon session. Beside the mechanical lock there is an electrical lock. on the lever controll- ing the first home signal, and one is beyond the sole control of the opera tor, and that is the electrical lock when train is between the first and second home signals. There is no electrical lock on the distant, that is purely mechanical.
 He knew of no law in Rhode Island which required the guarding of the levers and the signals, or any order or rule of the state or United States that makes such requirement.. Witness expected an investigation and that's why railroad men were put on guard. When he first went to the tower he met State Commissioner Carmichael and Chief of Police Brown. but they did not order any men to guard duty. Division officials were in charge of the situation but he instituted the guard at his own volition. Witness was familiar with the entire signal system, he said, and knew of the tower at Cos Cob and the system was of the lock- block type, but not identical with that at Bradford as the cabinets differ. The switch at Bradford could not be opened unless the distant was at caution. The draw bridges and derails are protected by an lnterlock the same as a switches and prevail the same at Bradford as at Cos Cob in that particular He never knew of a, Columbia avenue tower on the Harlem branch.
 MT. Fitzgerald asked if there was a drawbridqe at. Bridgeport and how it was protected. Attorney Phillips raised objection and insisted that the queries be confined to Bradford and Wood River. Mir Fitzgerald insisted that the state had introduced testi- mony that certain things could not be done and he proposed to show that these so alleged impossibilities have actually occurred by the same sys- tenn. MT Morrison said there was a tower at the Bridgeport drawbridge, mechanically operated, but of differ ent desisn than of the tower at Brad ford. The functions of the tower at Bridgeport were the same as that of Bradford. He knew of the Burnside tower at East Hartford, and signals operated by motor. but not just like that at BradfoFdt but if anything is wrong with distant signal it goes to danger. There is quite a difference in the lock and block and automatic sys- tenn, but by the removal of the distant signal at Bradford and it would not be semi automatic as now
