In Point of Service.

No Change Expected In Clerk
ship.
Who will be the next President OF the
Board of Education?
This is n topic upon which membcrs
of the Board are very retlcent. They
claim that the question has not been
thought of and so far as can be learn
ed candidates for the position are as
scarce as hens teeth.
There is whole week after this be-
fore the Board vii! organize, and in
that time, a host of possibilities may
develop.
The present incumbent, Mr.. Charles
T. Inman, of the Sixth ward, will step
out Of the Board this spring. He will
be succeeded from tie Sixth by Mr..
Fred NJ. Harpham. ~
1t was stated Wednesday upon good
authority that Col. I. C. Gibbons of the
Fifth ward, was anxious TO preside
over the deliberations of the School
Board during the coming year. 1t is
understood that Col. Gibbons bases his
aspirations upon the large vote he
received from the ladies of his ward
in Mondays election.
In point of service Dr. F. @. Reed Of
the Sixth ward outranks all of his
fellow members, and for that reason
might lay claim to the presidency Of
the organization. Dr. Reed is about
to enter upon his sixth year of con-
tinual service upon the Board. How
ever, it Is not known whether he is a
candidate for the honor or not.
From present indications there will
be no contest over the election Of
clerk of the Board. Mr.. Fred w.
Shirer, the present clerk, will be the
unanimous choice of the members. If
another candidate should come up for
the clerkship, it is safe to say that he
would not stand a "ghost of show"
for election against Mr.. Shirer.

FLORIDA
Controlled by Corporations, Says a
Candidate.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 4.-(spl.)-
Much surprise was expressed here this
morning by the publishment of a card
by Frank Clark, State Senator from,
this county, withdrawing from his
race for the Second Congressional dis
trict nomination in opposition to Davis.
the present incumbent. In mis- card
Clark says that leading politicians
who assured him of their support are
falling from him and he denounces
them for their ingratitude. He
charges also that the Congress commit
tee are partisans of Davis. He then
declares:
"Florida is absolutely in the hands
of corporate interests and it is useless
for man without money and without
corporate alignment to aspire to public
position. All the corporate interests
so far as can see, are supporting Mr.,
Davis, and / am not willing, single
handed and alone to fight them. The
Times Union and Citizen which OPEN
ly advocates trusts, supports him; the
Plant system supports him, the East
Coast railway appears to support
him, and subsidized papers where
ever you find them, support him. With
all these interests at work for the
peoples friend original silverman'
and inveterate foe TO the aggressions
of corporate powers leo nfess that,
with a hurried convention, and denial
to the people of the right to discuss
and consider the issues involved in the
there cannot be much doubt
the result" Mr.. Clark Is
a leading lawyer here.
