is the battle cry of the delegates to
the state prohibition convention which
opens here today for a two days ses-
sion. The prohibitionists of the state
have made unusually energetic efforts
this spring to work up enthusiasm
for their cause and SO persistent has
been the agitation that the interest
of the prohibitionists throughout the
safe was aroused, win the result that
every county in the state is represent
ed by a full quorum of delegates. II
seems TO be a foregone conclusion
that Homer L. Castle is the most av-
ailable man to lead the party at the
next election and there is scarsely any
doubt that he will be unanimously
elected candidate for the governorship
on the prohibition ticket of this state.
He has opened headquarters at one
of the principal hotels and is receiv-
ing many assurances from delegates.

clusion of the convention, there will

Norfolk, Va, Nay %. 1906.
Special TO the Ocala Banner:
James Cardinal Gibbons archbishop
of Baltimore, was the guest of the
jamestown Exposition Company dur
ing a recent visit TO Norfolk, whittier
he went to attend the Jubilee celebra-
ton of st. Vincent's Hospital. The
cardinal was shown over the EXPOSE
ton grounds by officials of the COM
pany and examined the buildings fin
ished and in course OF construction
| with much interest. He was particu-
larly interested in the Arts and Crafts
| village, which is nearing completion.
but the thing that appealed TO him
most was the wealth of floral beauty
and verdure which Signalizes the
jamestown Exposition, and will be one
Of its most delightful features. The
Exposition grounds are naturally we'll
wooded and most of the trees have
been left standing. In addition TO these
there are hundreds of beautiful trees
that have been successfully trans
planted and are now in full leaf. Most
Of the native plants are flower bearing
and there is q great profusion Of ever
green shrubs.
| Cardinal Gibbons. who was accom-
panied by a a party of clergymen and
business men of Norfolk. expressed
pleasure and appreciation al what he
saw.
| Il am both surprised and delighted
at the beauty Of your exposition site
and at the great work you have done
! in so short time" he said.
| You are aiding nature, which is al
ways we'll These magnificent trees
and your millions of plants and shrubs
will be very restful and delightful to
the thousands who will throng through
your gates next year. The jamestown
| Exposition is one which should appeal
to all loyal men. women and children.
| 1t is right To remember those things
in our history which marked the be-
ginnings of great epochs, and l hope
the jamestown Exposition will receive
the hearty support of the people of
the entire country.
! You have departed from the ways
of other expositions especially in your
buildings. l have always thought II
vandalism 10 destroy created beauty in
the form either of landscape or build
ings. Other expositions have con-
! structed but to tear down and leave
"a void in the heart and mind of all
who have looked
Make of this a permanent park
which will stand as a monument of
what the jamestown Exposition seeks
! to commemorate. Other eXpositions
passed 10 forgetfulness; let this one
! be an exception
Your beautiful grounds and quaint
| buildings will be source Of pleasure
to thousands long after the exposition
closes its gates next November.
Il wish you the greatest degree of
success that worthy enterprise de-
serves. mad it is my hope that a null
titude will have the privilege of seeing
| and enjoying all the good things which
Twin be shown here next year
