The Sixty sixth regiment Coast Ar
tillery Corps, in which is the old Fifth
company of Westerly, and other units
from Forts Adams and Wetherell, is
just outside of Bordeaux, France from
present indications the Westerly boys
will arrive in their old home town as

The Gill faction is in control of the
Rhode Island general assembly; if such
change came in Connecticut it would
mean that the King faction had de-

unseating of the chairman of the state
central committee especially, but rath-
er TO determine who would bc the next
candidate for United States senator,
and incidentally the choice of tie next
supreme court justice. 1t is limited that
the Gill faction, including Jury Com
missioner Eaton, favor the election of
Judge Elmer ]. Rathbun.
| However, Judge John w. Sweeney is
not without friends in the general as
sembly, and if the Westerly jurist
! should decide to allow his name to be
! used, the friends of Judge Rathbun
realize that the chances of electing
| their man are by no means any too en-
| couraging.
| Il is alleged that the desire to con-
! troll the party has for one of its OBJ
iects the blocking of any plan to give
| the republican nomination for senator
