CREASE OF BAIL Progressive. | WENT THE WRONG ROAD TO REACH FLORIDA. Atlanta, Oct. 19.—Cleve Page, a young man of good face and rather rustic garb, wrote postcards to his sister and father in Lancaster, Tenn, saying: “Reached Atlanta all right. Am well and happy. Go to Florida to- morrow. Love to all.” Then he locked the door of his room in a little local hotel, took off his clothes, put his pocketbook under tke pillow, laid the postcards on the table to be mailed next morning, blew out the gas, and went peace- fully to sleep. The maid smelleq a strange odor this morning, and it was necessary to smash down the door, because the key was turned on the inside and still in the key hole. Young Page was unconscious and his pulse was barely fluttering, but there was 2 window partly open, and life still lingered in his body. They rushed him to Grady hospital, where the house surgeons are making every ef- fort to save him by artificial respira- tion.

REPUBLICAN DRATORY ON TAP LAST NIGHT CANDIDATES ON REPUBLICAN TICKET DELIVERED AD- DRESSES IN MUNN PARK. All shades of political beliefs have { been ecnunciated from the platform in the park this week, and last night the Republicans had their innings, whepn Messrs. G. W. Beun, of Tampa, Henry W. Bishop, of Eustis, ang W. R O'Neal, of Orlando, wmade ad- dresses in behalf of the Taft brand of Republicanism. The speakers were introduced by Mr. J. H. Wendler, who performed this task quite gracefully. Several other prominent Republicans were seated on the stage with the speak- ers. G. W. Bean, postmaster of Tampa, and candidate for Congress from this district, was the first speaker. Like our own postmaster, Mr. Bean is a better hand at reading postcards than at public speaking. He read a great many statistics from encyclo- pedias and other sources, by which he endeavored to prove that a high tariff is beneficial and free trade or low tariff disastrous to the people. Mr. Bean’s atgument was devoted, in fact, almost wholly to the tariff—a subject which it is very difficult to make interesting. Ho was followed by Heanry . Bishop, of Eustis, candidate on the State ticket for attorney general Mr. Bishop has a gooq delivery, so he naturally “put one over” now and then, especially when referring to the Bull Moose party and its candi- dates. He stated that Mr. Hodges, who claimed here that he had been Democrat for twenty years, claime:! t, be a Republican some time ago, when he was an applicant for a Fed eral position. He defended the a¢ ticn of the Chicago convention, stat- ing that he was a member of the credentinls committee there, that everything was fair and regular, angd that the Bull Moosers were simply bolters. Mr. Bishop cxpressed him- scif as pzainst the primary system and as opposed also to the recall. Hon. W. R. O'Neal, candidate for governor, was peXt introduced, My, O'Neal is an orator of considerable ability, and while the bulk of his auditors were Democrats and did not eundorse his views, they could noi but admire his carnestness, clo- quence and facility of expression. He said that two parties would be o benefit to the State; that while he did not cxpect the Republican ticker in Florida to be elected, that the vote was going to he largely increased this time, and thai four yecars hence the Republican forces will havé been greatly augmented, and intimated that they would by that time be strong cnough to at least to make Demoerats “sit up and take notice.' h. id that an opposing party was ~I| 'S bringzing and claimed for th~ ] Republieans much of the eredif for s instrumental in Almm reforms, { ereating the public sentiment that is | | mow clamorous for the abolition of the convict Jease system, which he Repubileans made o7 four years ago an issue stumping the State s their main snbject of ,S.-hl the with this discussion | The speaker declared that the |l’t:ll"|l‘_\' Was never more prosperous . there was no necessity for a i--!mng‘\. in national amfairs; and he cited local conditions to sustain his claim, referrinz :0 the marvelous growth and development which s 'fipparent in and around Lakeland. Mr. O'Neal is well known to a great number of our citizens, who regard him most highly. He has frequently visited Lakeland, and has | made addresses here on various oc- casions. Probably three four hundred persons listened to the speakers, giv- ing them all attentive hearing. or The great preacher’'s reply was characteristic.
