"Hope," for Rhode Island (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motto

(Other definitions for motto that I've seen before include "Slogan encapsulating self-image" , "Message in cracker" , "Words on heraldic crest" , "Shibboleth" , "Adage (found in a cracker?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Newsday.
