 This interesting bit of political gos- sip comes by way of the Providence News: of Westerly, republican, will be op- posed for the nomination of his party to the upper house this year by Rep resentativs John Ferguson, Jr., 1t was said Thursday by persons well ac- quainted with the political situation l in the southern part of the state. 'This same man said that Michael | Turano who is connected with the | law firm of Pettine and De Pasquale | of Providence, but who is resident of Westerly would enter the repub- | lican caucus against Mir. Ferguson | should he be prevailed upon to with | draw his name from the senatorial | contest.
 | "The Italian voters of that district | will support MT. Turano, 1t Is said. | against MT. Ferguson, because he is | known to be strong opponent of the principle of national prohibition. For the same reason those who are fa- miliar with conditions are guessing that Senator FlyDn, if he wants the seat in the upper house for another term, will have no trouble in getting the republican nomination, even with | Mr. Ferguson's following opposed to his renomination.
