But that did not prevent the holding of a big republican rfi-“y. with brass band ac- companiment, in the town hall, Tues- day night, agd, as a republican leader put it: “There's no need for republi- can oratorv in this republican town, as there's no chance to gain converts, and there is po occasion for strength- ening the republicans in the faith they have In them. The speakers ought to have operated in a less fertile field.” The republicans realized that the town hall was not large enough to accommodate all the republicans of the town, so many remained at home. Still the town hall was filled and en- thusiasm prevailed from the opening cf the raily to the close thereof. Senator Louis W. Arnold = presided and at the opening made a brief speech predicting republican success in the © and nation, just as it was sure to be in Westerly. If all towns were like Westerly, there would be no dem- ocratic wind-jamming or big political expenditure of the coin of the realm. In introducing the speakers, the sen- ator indulged in plesantries, that paved the way for a free flow of ora- tory, and gave to each speaker oppo! tunity for pleasant preliminary re- marks before entering upen the serious part of their speeches, that demon- strated the destructive policy that would ensue were the democrats re- tained in power. Professor Eugene Thackery, of Har- vard was fully charged with the po- litical issues of the presidential cam- paign. His strong points were so numerous that the applause was al- most_continuous. Judge Orrin R. Huntley, of Alabama, who has been stumping since the open ing of the.campaign, under the direc- tion of the national committee, made a rousing speech, which created much enthusiasm and received great ap- plause. He raked the democratic craft fore and aft, and from a southern standpoint, impressed upon his hearers that the only seaworthy craft in the present political turmoil was the republican ship of state. Ira W. Leets, of Harvard Hughes gue, added to the political oratory, Inined the true republican prin- ciples and urged the young voters to stick to the republican party and all that it means for the public good. Corigressman Walter R. Stiness, who has been renominated to succeed him- self, told of the many mistakes that thad been made by the present demo- cratic administration, and stated that the bright future of the nation could not obtain under a continuation of democratic misrule. He also made reference to state politics and paid a glowing tribute to the capabilities and the gbod work accomplished by the present state officers who _are can- didates for re-election, and who are en- titled to approval by all the peeple of Rhode Island. Benjamin Hawkins, a young business man of East Providence, who was taken into custody at Westerly, recent. ly, while driving_an automobile en route from New York to Providence, With a Providence man, his wife and daughter as guests, is now on trial in the superior court at Providence on two indictments charging him with re- ceiving stolen avtomoblles, knowing them to have been stolen. He was held up in Westerly by Sheriff John R. Wil. cox and Chief of Police Thomas Brown at the instance of-.the Providence po- lice department. On examination of the touring car here it was ascertain- ed that changes had been made from its original constructién and that the numbers on parts of the mechanism had been altered. A stolen automobile, other than the one he was_driving when taken into custody at Westerly, and owned by Frank N. McLeod, of Providence, was found in Mr. Hawkins' garage in East Providence. The tires and other fix- tures were taken from this machine the other, which he was driving when arrested. This sec- ond car was stolen from John H. Bran._ nigan, of Pawcatuck, and was fully identified while in Westerly. After the ju: the trial proceeded. The sale of the Briggs building in the business center of Westerly to Mendell Block, is practically a sale to the same combination of =Worcester peopie who purchased the nearby Lor- raire property and which now controls ot only the border property in two states, but also along the frontage of the bridge that practically connects the two properties. This sale revives | the rumor that a large concern with istores in Westel Norwich, New I.onden and elsewhere, had miade a substantial offer for the Brown prop- erty in High street, which extends from the Porter-Langworthy building to the mew bank building of the In- dustrial Trust company, and which is covered by the Brown building, a handsome brick structure ~ and ° the building which served as a temporary post office while the present marble stracture was being erected and which now contains five stores. As the Brown property was mot for sale, this same concern opened negotiations for the purchase of the :Otis Chapman build- ing. corner Borad_and Main streets, and opposite the Briges building, but without success. It is understood that the Washington Trust company has made a standing offer for the Chap- man property, and in the event of ma. turity for sale, the trust company would be giuen first option. The Westerly town council has ap- pointed supervisors for next Tuesday’s election, as follows: _ First district— Michael J. Turano, James H. Hodg- son, republicans; Edward A. Farrell, Clarence L. Clarke, democrats. Sec- ond_district—James A. Dunn,” Russell L. Slocum, reputlicans;. Bernard J. Christie, John. Lynch, democrats. Ira B. Crandall moderator, John J. Dunn clerk for the first district. Eugene B. Took the Hurt Out of Her Back Physicians report more cases of kid- ney trouble among women than men. Mrs. Anna Byrd, Tuscumbia, Ala., writes: “I was down with my back so I could not stand up more than half of the time. Foley Kidney Pills took all of the hurt out. They are the best kidney pills T ever took.” Rheu- matic pains, swollen ankles, backache, stiff joints, sore muscles, and sleep disturbing bladder ailments indicate disordered kidneys. Foley Kidney Pills act promptly. Lee & Osgood Co. WILLIAM C.

Burdick, pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist church, con- ducted the funeral services of Captain Horace E. Sisson, at the home of his sister, Mrs. John W. McArthur, in School street, Tuesday afternoon. There were many friends in attend- ance and there was beautiful floral tributes. Burial was at River Bend and the bearers were Judge Oliver H. Williams, Dr. Edwin R. Lewis, John Crandall, Alfred Chapman, Hon, Albert H. Langworthy and Amos Champlin. Locll Llconlcl. 4 Mr. ang Mrs. Willam Segar left Westerly Tuesday, for a visit in Fitch- burg, Mass. The property at the corner of High and Dixon streets has been purchased by Luigi Gentile from Judge John W. Sweeney. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Marzoli, and their two children, will leave Thurs- day for Los Angeles, Calif., where they will reside. Judge Elias B. Hinckley, of North Judge Elias B. Hinckley of the Ston- ington probate court, was in Wester- ly, Tuesday. Lawrence Babcock, of Ashaway, will sail from New York for Porto Rico, today, where he will teach school dur- ing the winter. Daniel Harrington, of Noyes avenue, was operated upon for appendicitis at the Rhode Islann hospital, Monday. Gaprge F. Parsons, of Norwich, clerk of the New London County Superior court, attended the funeral of Cap- tain Horace Sisson in Westerly, Tues- day afternoon. Westerly is a political paradise, a place where office holders and pros- Dective office holders are not required to come across with money, and where the town committee does not solicit subscriptions for a local campaign fund, a place whete no party money is used in legitimate political expenses, as none is required. The only election expenses are for the payments of elec- tion officials and these are paid from the town treasury. The local newsdealers have advanc- d the price of New York and Boston newspapers one cent. That_is one cent newspapers now sell for _two cents, and two cent papers for three s took a view of the two cars,| cents. They make no advance in the rice of The Norwich Bulletin, which will be continued to be sold for two cents, and it is the only newspaper in Westesly that prints all the Associat- ed Pres, general and Westerly news. The Bulletin is the only outside news- paper that has a regular representa- tive in the town. JEWETT CITY Carpenter Brings Two Deer n Party— eason—Auto . From .

The members of the Larkin club cel- ebrated Hallowe'en at the home of Miss Jessie Green on Palmer street Saturday evening. Two owls shot by Chester Geer, were borrowed for the occasion. Festoons of apples hung from chandelier and doroways; while black cats, pumpkin moonshines, etc. were effectively placed. A witch told fortunes by means of cards, from a miniature cornfield, the ladies gathered pumpkins and the men husked corn ot find their fortunes. A most enjoyable feature of the evening was the music furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel Green and Miss Jessie Green on cornet, violin and pi- ano. After the distribution of the pro- |duct§ ordered by the Several members, it was discovered that those ordered by Mrs. Harry Olson, were missing. They turned up shortly however, together with a shirt waist box containing lin- en, which proved to be a present to her from the club in recognition of her re- cent marriage. Delicious refreshments were scrved by the hostess, who was assisted by her mother, Mrs. John Green, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Ray. Few Gentians This Year. Local flower lovers have made dili- gent search this fall for fringed gen- tians. They are fast becoming among the very rare flowers in this section. Ten years ago and even less, there ‘were plenty if one searched in the right place. There have always been at some place on R. W. Dearnley’s Spring Vale farm at South Plainfield, a few gentians each year. they were found by several parties from Jewett City’ near Bishops’, on this farm, and this year the owner picked g fine bunch in another place. It is a peculiarity of this most beauti- ful flower to change its habitat with- out notice. Some of the best specimens ever seen in tqwn were shown last month by Mrs. J. B. Palmer, Jr. For years local gentian parties were rewarded with fine bunches which they picked near the Pachaug town house; there are none there now. The gen- tian lives in low moist meadows and woods and begins to blossom when most flowers have gone to seed. It then comes with its merry blue to cheer the melancholy days that por- tend the passing year. The National Geographic magazine says: the fringe of the gentian adds grace to it, but that was not the flowers thought, in providing the fringe, the ants long generations since developed a fondness for the nectar of the gentian;<great hordes of them overran it and drained its nectar cups. It could not a2fford to have the ants pilfer the nectar, which was the currency with which it re- warded the bees and butterflies for their assistance in its plan of fertili- zation. Therefore espousing the cause of preparedness, it developed a sys- tem of defences against ants’ invasions that is remarkable alike for its thor- oughness and beauty. The ants are unable to crawl over the long fringe. Mishap to Motor- Party.
