CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES
ARE HEARD AT FERNANDINA
Speeches Made by the Five Aspirants for the
Seat in the House

Fernandina, Fla, March 1.-THE
first gun in state politics was fired
here last night. The aspirants for con-
gressional honors heard were ]. M.
Bars, James Alexander, Charles
Dougherty, Mr.. Watson and Frank
Clark. The speaking took place at the
Lyceum Hall, and was presided over
by Hon. John G. McGiffin.
1t was agreed by all of the contest
ants that each should be allowed thir-
ty minutes to tell why all of the 9TH
ers were wasting their time in running
for the office, and it was also agreed
that after the regular session, If any
of the speakers thought that he had
been dealt with too roughly, he would
be allowed five minutes in which to
show that he was snow white.
Mr.. Watson was first up, and being
new at the business did not get away
quite as quick as his older brethren.
Mr.. Watson said that he represented
the working men, being one of them
himself, and for that reason thought
that he would be better fitted to go to
Congress than any of the others, as
he was aware of the wants of the peo-
pie of that class and could do the most
good. He went on to say that he saw
no reason why the people should be
duty bound to elect a lawyer for the
place, as he had figures there to show
that only one-seventh of one per cent.
of the tax-paying people were lawyers,
still the law-making body of the Unit
ed States was composed of 50 per cent.
lawyers. He concluded his speech by
saying that If he was defeated that
he would have the honor of knowing
that he was the first and only every
day go-as-you-please man that had the
nerve to tackle q bunch of profession
ais that he then had with him.
Hon. Frank Clark took up most Of
his time in getting back at Mr.. Bars
for a letter that Mr.. Bars had writ
ten to the Metropolis.
1t appears that Mr.. Clark had writ
ten an open letter to Mr.. Barrs say
ing that he would like to meet him

London, March 1.-THE Duke of Cam
bridge died at 1875 O'clock this morn
ing. He was a cousin of the late Queen
Victoria and was born March &c, 1919
The Duke died peacefully at Glouce-
ster house, his Georgian residence on
Park Lane. He had been confined to
his house for some weeks, but until
compelled to take to his bed he was
about with his accustomed activity, be-
ing, as was his custom, a constant at
tendant at functions of a national or
charitable character
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
had been constant visitors to the sick
room while the Dukes sons, Admiral
and Colonel Fitzgeorge, We're almost

Although he was imbued with old
world conservatism, he was undoubt-

and even his prejudical opposition to
the modernization and democratiza-

The title of Duke of Cambridge died
with the late Duke, his sons being born
of morganatic marriage. His death
also places at the disposal of the King
field marshars baton as well as an
order of the Garter.
1t is expected the remains of the
Duke will be buried at Kew. An i'm
posing military display will be made
at the funeral.
The death of the Duke necessitates
the postponement or cancellation CT
all royal functions. as the court will
go into mourning for Several weeks.
The King and Queen went to Glou-

their personal coincidence to the rela-
tives of the Duke.

1t is not generally known to the
present generation that the Duke Of
Cambridge's wife was a burlesque &C
tress, and dancer named Farelsrother.
She was very well known in 1910 or
whereabouts, and made a great sem
sation playing in burlesque at the
Lyceum Theater. She died in 1890.
Neither the peerage nor other reference
books mention her marriage, which was
not recognized officially by Queen
Victoria, although the latter visited
Mrs. Fitzgeorge.
The Duke of Cambridge is supposed
to have been wealthy. On the death
of his father Parliament gave the Duke
an allowance of 100000 per annum.
AS commanderin-chief the Duke re-
ceived salary of $22,5 until 1887
and thereafter $33,16O yearly. AS CO.
lonel-in-chief of the Grenadier Guards
the Duke received $1,000 per year
while numerous other appointments
brought him in good revenue.

CASHED IN BRUNSWICK,

Negro Worked His Smooth Game in
That City.
Brunswick, Ga. March 1.-THE ne
gro who has been working such a
smooth scheme in Georgia cities by
changing money orders has also been
operating in Brunswick, and several
local merchants were caught in the
scheme.
Nothing was known of it, however,
save by the postmaster. and the mer-
chants swindled. until the article from
Columbus appeared in the Morning
News yesterday mentioning Brunswick
as one of the cities in which the ne
gro has been operating.
Postmaster Brown to-day gave out
the facts in the matter.
J. H. Heller & Bro. cashed one
of the negro's money orders for $20
which had been raised from 81. The
negro also visited the Colson Hardware
Company and purchased a pistol, CIV
ing the company a money order, and
receiving about $25. 90 change.
The orders were taken to the post
master by the merchants and were
cashed. Postmaster Brown did not
hear from Savannah, from which place
the orders were dated, and wrote To
the postmaster, and received a reply
saying that no money orders with
the names mentioned had been sent
to Brunswick. and it was discovered
that the negro had also changed them
from Griffin to Brunswick.
The negro worked the scheme very
successfully and no one could have
detected that the orders had been
changed.

and have an open debate as to wheth-
er the people of Jacksonville approved
of his .(BarrsO action regarding GER
tain matters relative to the city of
Jacksonville, while Bars was city at
torney. Mr.. Clark says that he did
not receive any reply to the letter, but
was very much surprised to see a col
umn in reply in the Metropolis, and
said that he did not feel like he had
had a fair deal, as the paper, to clinch
the matter, had said that it had pub
lished both of, the letters, and the coll
umns would now be closed.
Mr.. Bars, in his usual quiet man
ner said that he was glad to be among
the people here as a candidate, and
that he hoped that the people of the
Second district would be willing to
accept his record at Jacksonville as a
guide to what he could do.
MIR. Alexander's speech was very
good and at several times brought out
quite a good deal of laughter
Mr.. Alexander said that the people
would vote in alphabetical order, and
for that reason he would get the NOM
ination, as Alexander was "a" Bars

der in which the votes would come
out.
Mr.. Dougherty was evidently not in
very good humor as having long shots
taken at him by the other speakers,
and was not very well satisfied with
the audience. as seen by his remarks.
Mr.. Dougherty, after looking tho
House over. said that he had made
political speeches for a good many
years he had made them from stumps,
platforms, water tanks, and various
other places. but the conditions that
he met here he had never met before,
and that was there were no ladies.
He went on to say that in his opinion
there must be something rotten with
the campaign that he did not know
of.
Mr.. Dougherty's talk was good and
to the mark. He said that he was will
ing for anyone to know what his ideas
were.
