There is considerable adverse opinio
, concerning the caucus rules prepared b
: the Westerly republican town committed
which will be submitted for approva
amended or rejected at the caucus to
held Tuesday evening. 1t is claimed tn
: rules are cumbersome, and unnecessary
and as whole are a detriment rath
| err than a benefit from purely politica
standpoint as the caucus defects coul
easily be remedied by a. simple caucu
. law. such as prevails in Connecticut. /
Il is claimed that no special caucus rule
i are required in Westerly any more thai
in all other places in the state, but tina
i | a state caucus. law might better condi
tons generally.
. There are expressed objection to drag
ging caucus over period of thre
days, when the business can be complct
ed in the regular caucus night, when tn
voters are assembled for the purpose. J
/ gentleman learned in the law declares
caucus is a power unto itself and whil
a caucus has the power to adopt rule
, for the conduct of business, a caucu
has no power to adopt rules for the gov
eminent Of future caucuses. The action
of one caucus does not bind the actor
