Referring to the meeting of the Press Association and the hullaballoo that has been raised by a few Fletcher supporters be- cause Senator Fletcher has been in- vited to be present along with all other members of the congressional delegation, as well as Governor Trammell and other State officials, the Palatka News has this robust paragraph full of refreshing good sense: “The meeting is to be a ‘joy ride, a meeting of kindred spirits, and any politician who feels that he can work the boys will be welcome to fry his hand. But the candidate wil] not be featured as a part of the program. Life is too short, and press association meetings are of neces- sity few.” atasedlgians That was a mighty fine leading ar- ‘ticle in the Pensacola Journal of approaching | TH learned to feel the highest regard for him and am glad to have this opportunity of expressing my con-|A E.

April 6 and at 9 p. m. was comfortably quartered at the 5(New Atlantic hotel on Bay street. 1 remained in Jacksonville until .S p. m. Tuesday, having a nice time receiving appreciated courtesies from, ‘Hon. A. M. Williamson, Mrs. Frans Nebel, Judge Ton Farris, Prof. Hur- cules, Gep. N. B. Forrest, Jr., an¢ Gen. A. D. Williams and his accom- plished daughters. Through these kind friends, I was !(*nablvd to visit many points of the city and take in the details of the preparations for the reunion. The selection of the Aragon for general headquarters, I think, was a mistake as it is not a first grade hotel, has only one entrance and all the lower story is given up to stores and saloons. 1 think the Windsor would have been so much better as no room on the entire block is used for any other than hotel purposes. It frants Hemming park, has broad verandas, several entrances and magnificent parlors. Gen. Williams has secured thirty rooms in this magnifient building for his special friends, besides he will open his privat, residences of twenty rooms filled with beds for the use of veterans, free of cost to them. Dr. Williams and his daughters have traveled extensively and has' collected many curios and souve- ! nirs. Last summer they penctrated ' into the interior of Alaska and Sunday defining a modern progres- jStudied the habits and custom of sive and illustrating its meaning with many notable historical stances.

This is one of the conditions for the American people; and as Woodrow Wilson, over his own signature in a letter of recent Adate, includes Duncan U. Fletcher, United States senator from Florida and candidate for re-election, in his list of progressives, we hold that the esteemed Journal is hereby estopped from any further classification of Senator Fletcher as a reactionary. Dt THIS SURELY SETTLES IT Recently Hon. Arthur T. Wil- liams of this State, a well known and highly respected citizen who had seen Stockton's charge that Senator Fletcher was a reactionary rather than a progressive in his politics and noted how the Stock- ton papers were playing it up, de- termined to get truth of the matter and accordingly went to headquar- ters for information on the subjfect. He wrote to Woodrow Wilson, lead- ing progressive Democrat of the United States and got this reply written from the White House un- der date of March 24: “My Dear Mr. Williams: | have your letter of March 19 and am very glad to reply to it. I am surprised that any one should charge Senator Fletcher with being a ‘reactionary.’ Certainly, during the time when 1 have been able to observe his course of action, he has supported the pro- gressive policy of the party not only with unvarying loyalty. but with real energy, and has shown at every turn a desire to promote the best interests of the people through the > BOATING IN THE STREETS OF ALBANY This view in Maiden Lane, Albany, gives a. o serious floods that swept the northern part of New York st e e———————————————eeeeeeeeeeeeee .

County Jail—Indicted by Grand Jury ior Use of Mails United States Deputy Marshal L A. Rennolds vefterday arrested A Rovinson and his wife, Mrs. M. L. Rclbinson, of Lakeland, on a charge of having used the United States mail for fraudulent purposes. The arrest was made on an indict- ment returned recently by a federal grand jury in Mississippi. When ar- raigned yesterday before Justice of th, Peace Jose B. Fernandez, acting in the absence of United States Com- misgiongr H. d.. Crane, both Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were remanded to jail in default of $5.,000 bond, which probably will be furnished on Monday . The Robinsons are prominent and wealthy people of Lakeland. The char:e against them is that they used the mail to promote the sale of stock in the Tishomingo Tie & Stone Company, of Tishomingo, Miss., in which they are alleged to have de- frauded purchasers. It is alleged that the two sons of Mrs. Robinson are already under arrest in Missis- sippi. The sale of the stock of the cor- poration followed various other dif- | s——————————— ficulties, too complicated to be de- tailed in a newspaper story, but told in detail in papers recently filed here in a civil action in which Mrs. Rob- inson was ong of the defendants.— Tampa Tribune. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson's’ attor- ney, Mr. Eppes Tucker, Jr., states that the couple are not in jail but are under surveilance at the DeSoto hotel. Mr. Tucker is making an ef- fort to raise the $10,000 bond, but should this be impossible, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson will be taken to Mis- sissippi to answer to the charge.
