Those Underood supplements are working. An Underwood Club, with a membership of 75 voters, has been formed in Lakeland. Sidna Allen and Wesley Edards would, no doubt, convince a posse that might come upon them that the re- ports of their demise were greatly ex- aggerated, THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., APRIL 6, 1912.

It is stated | that extreme caution is necessary as the opposing forces are taking advan- tage of every point that can in any way effect the campaign of Wilson. In connection with the above let- ter, it may be stated thar Chairman Price has not answered as yet or at least his answer has not been receiv- ed. However, another letter from a private source gives the information that Chairman Price has stated that he has withheld the names of Clark and Harmon from the ballot, or at least would withhold them, because both Clark and Harmon has request- ed him to do so. It is this corres- pondence that the Wilson men want Chairman Price to make public. Greater Combination. The Wilson forces in Jacksonville contend that the combination against |$ Wilson will prove greater than was expected when it was admitted that the Harmon supporters were behind the Underwood boom. They have been quietly at work and have col- lected correspondence and telegrams which have been gathered from all sources, and complete publication of these letters and telegrams is plan- ned even should it become necessary to give them out as advertising mat- ter. However, the news value of the letters would hardly be questioned, and only for the fact that the Wil- son forces are preparing a nice lit- future they would have been given to the public before this.

Then she turned him out into the chicken run Editors insist upon happy Insists upon others respecting the|the “moral” questions from their pul- endings of stories nowadays, so the dignity of the Temple of Justice. An instance illustrating this occurred at Bartow the other day, when two boys (who ought to have been at school or at work, instead of loafing in a court room) were called before him, scathingly lectured and fined $5 each for smoking cigarettes in the pres- ence of the court. e have often wished for authority to serve young Smart Aleck cigarette suckers in about such a way, when noting their disgusting performances in public places, and we feel to give the judge ' & long-distance handshake. This is only one of many instances in which Judge Whitney has gone out of his! way to advance good morals and up- took the gavel there was considera- hold the proprieties, and it seems to this paper that this circuit now has a judge who is an honor to that «xalted position. ! No man who gives as much thought to things sentimental as Bob Taylor of Tennessee did cannot lay ny great claims to being a states- man, but isn't it far better to live a life devoted to making other people happy than to be written down in the pages of history as a statesman? In a scrap book of the many good things “Fiddling Bob" said we find the following: “I would rather fill my purse and keep its gate ajar to my happy girls while they linger under my roof than pits. These questions embrace prohi- bition, child labor, the protection of home-life, and kindred subjects. The preacher usually appears in a non- official role. He is a teacher and nothing more. There are exceptions, to be sure. Rev. Dr. Buchtel was governor of Colorado for two years from 1906 and he gave the State so active an administration that it at-! tracted the attention of the country. ! Another preacher who is taking a prominent part in current political life is Rev. Herbert D.

HOLLINGSWORTH NEWS Surprise Party.—Last Wednesday evening about thirty of the friends and neighbors of Miss Lizzie Pearce gathered at her home in honor of her birthday. She was the recipient of a number of presents. Games and singing were indulged in during the evening and at a late hour the eguests departed for their homes, to have put aside “the cloth” for the purposes of the work with a fixed, {purpose and a clear head. The re- {port is that he is a finished parlia- mentarian and also a good politician. On two or three occasions he has left the chair and taken the floor to speak on measures in which he felt a deep concern, and each time he has had the satisfaction of seeing the vote re- corded in accordance with his way of thinking, says the Savannah News, !
