Schloesser Sons Undertakers Lady Assistant Best of Service QUALITY AT A SAVING in the French Republican vote. A selected band of French-Canadian voters resident In Rhode Island took care of the Gerry campaign in the last three days among the French speaking. Make Little Noise. The leaders directing the men made less noise than a wild duck alighting on the sea.

Their work was done before anybody knew they were on the ground, and yet for three weeks they had been daily reporting to General Hamilton the progress of a campaign which they felt would be surely successful unless Mr. Hughes swept the state by an unusual vote. Throughout It all Mr. Gerry's hand was on the levers. He consulted with General Hamilton at least twice a day, and every move was well thought out.

Once a decision was reached on any point it was never reconsidered. From that time on it was a case of military precision in every movement. Mr. Wolcott is a farmer's son who Night Phone 275 the start in attacking both the acta Jf the Republican party and his opponent' political record. There would be no conservative campaign, such as Rhode Island always has found to its liking.

He would reach every class and take his cause into every home. Rhode Island's voting population is 30 2-3 foreign-born, or the sons of foreign-born. There are colonies of French, Italians, Poles, Jews and Swedes. The French have a dally newspaper. The Italians and the Swedes have two weekly newspapers.

The Germans, who are mainly in Providence and Cranston, but scat tered also in small numbers through the state, have a weekly newspaper. A. Jewish paper published in Boston circulates in all the cities of the state. The first essential thing for a suc cessful campaign was to reach the foreign-born and foreign-speaking voters. Maps were made of all sections In which foreign colonies controlled in population.

Next there was a separation of all registered aliens, so that they might be reached with ease by foreign literature, and also seen their own countrymen. The card in dex used by the Progressives four years ago was obtained by a careful ly planned but lucky strike; and by Peter Goelet Gerry. a clever suggestion the names of all Republican farmers came into posses sion of the Grry managers. 1 Remarkable Campaign. All this specialized political work, naturally, was not done at the regular campaign headquarters.

Indeed, it was unknown to more than a few persons in Rhode Island. This vital side of the contest was secretly put In charge of General Henry De Witt Hamilton of New York city, long a member of Tammany hall general com mittee. His share In the senatorshlp fight was to be largely of the still hunt order. It was essential that neither a brass band nor string instruments should be used. General Hamilton opened no headquarters.

He invited a few friends from Boston and New York to take part in what he regarded as a good sporting proposition. These men gradually gathered a dozen or more who could be trusted implicitly, A few were stationed in Woonsocket, a few in Paw-tucket and the others made Providence their central point, covering from that city all outlying points In which it was believed effective work could be done. The making of leaflets In foreign languages was all done in New York city and all the envelopes addressed in Manhattan. Much missionary work was done quietly by educated Frenchmen from Boston, who day by day enlisted a few converted volunteers. The final result waa a hitherto, unheard- of.

BOTH UPSET OLD TRADITIONS First Democrats in Years to Repre sent the Old Republican States of Delaware and Rhode Island Gerry Conducts Remarkable Campaign. Washington. When the newly elected United States senators take their seats next year the two youngest among them, and indeed in the whole upper house of congress, will be Josiah O. Wolcott of Delaware, born October 31, 1877, and Peter Goelet Gerry of Rhode Island, born September 18, 1879. Both are Democrats elected from states traditionally Republican.

Mr. Gerry was turned from polo and Newport society by his wife, a famous beauty, who was ambitious for him to equal the careers of noted ancestors. He owes his election in Rhode Island to his great personal popularity and to a most skillful secret house-to-house campaign. Mr. Wolcott, also a scion of a family famous on American history, enters the senate largely through the factional fights of the great Du Pont family of powder makers, multimillionaire Republicans, who for many years controlled tiny Delaware.

"Young Peter," as Mr. Gerry is familiarly known to his friends in Rhode Island, has been in the newspapers principally for his exploits as a coaching whip, a polo player and a society man. In 1910 he married Miss Matilda T. Townsend of this city, a daughter of Mrs. Richard Towr nd and regarded by artists as one of most beautiful women in America.

Before her mnr- rlage the duke of Alba, a Spanish gran dee, had been her persistent but un successful suitor. She said openly she would never marry anyone but an American. And having selected Mr. Gerry as her American, she decided to make something out of him. Mr.

Gerry was a good talker, a hard scien tist and a lawyer, who could speak better in public than the average. His great-grandfather, Elbrldge Gerry, was elected vice president of the United States in 1812 on the ticket with Mr. Madison. Ills father was Commodore Gerry, a great lawyer, and several other members of the family had had brilliant careers. So in 1912 Mr.

Gerry became a can didate for the house of representatives from the Second Rhode Island district, traditionally a Republican stronghold, Josiah Wolcott. Mr. Gerry worked hard, caught the attention, at least, of almost every voter and swung enough Republicans into the opposing camp to win. Candidate for Senate. His career In the house was satis factory, but not brilliant.

Therefore, when he became the Democratic can dldate this year in the first senatorial primaries Rhode Island had held, the political wiseacres smiled. Against him was the veteran Senator Henry M. Lip- pltt, a high protection leader. The Democratic national committee never put the senatorshlp in the re motely doubtful class. Mr.

Gerry was mildly reproved by some of his per sonnl friends for taking a losing chnnce In a bad year. Mr. Gerry started his campaign with all the newspapers of Rhode Island hostile to him. Mr. Gerry long before the canvass began bad carefully figured out the chances for and against defeat.

When he determined to accept the nomlna tion he had also made up Ids mind to lead a fight that would break all Rhode Island traditions. fedSi THf, Bt m.
