 Westerly Central Labor union has issued a circular against the renomi- nation of Albert H. Langworthy for state senator. This circular was en- dorsed at the recent convention of the l T-I1 Federation of Labor held in Westerly. In support of the circular, Roderick McGarry II the legislative committee of the federation told of Senator Langworthys promise to vote against the pending prohibition bill, the day before the bill came up, and how he failed to keep the promise. Howard
 B, Hodskins charged the senator with
 being one of those men who drank whiskey in the committee room and
 then voted to abolish it.
 The circular says in substances:
 "Mr. langworthy has failed on every
 occasion to vote for the workingman or measures beneficial to him. He
 has had this neglect brought to his 1 attention, and has asked for just one
 more chance. just one more term. The
 one more chance the one more term
 has made no difference to him. He
 now asks one more chance, one more
 term. and it should be denied to him
 for the following reasons:
 'He voted against the property
 qualification amendment keeping the
 registry voter only half a citizen
 He voted against abolishing dual
 office holding.
 "He voted against bill providing
 for full voting privileges for the sol
 diers and sailors.

 town meeting in the daytime, when . the workingmen could not attend.

 committee he imported unfair labor
 to take the place of citizens d Measures of benefit to the work g ingman and to humanity which he has q voted against would take too much
 time to tell. Mir Voter, we appeal tc l. you to come to the caucus and the g polls on election day Help drive au- al tocracY from our statehouse by nom. 'ti mating and electing Maurice W. Flynr n senator from Westerly
