With Stick by Ex-Governor.
Scene in LOBBY OF Hotel
Remarks Made by Congressman Clark
in Public Speech Angered Ex.
Governor, and Caused Assault.

jacksonville, Fla. = Congressman
Frank Clark Of the second Florida die.
trict was balabored with stick bv ex-
Governor W. S. Jennings in The lobbv
of the Hotel Aragon Sunday afternoon
Clark is being opposed for reelection
and he has been bitterly assailing
these who are opposing aim. Clark
spoke at the opera house Saturday
night, and among those wnom he az
tackled for opposing him was ex-Goyer-
nor Jennings. Clark reviewed the puo-
lie career OF Jennings, and, among 9TH
er t1ings, charged that the ex-governor
had a genius TOR grating.
The ex-governor called at the Hotel
Aragon Sunday afternoon and found
Clark in the lobby
One version of the affair is that the
ex-governor wanted to know if he had
been called a CRATER by Clark.
Did you call me grafter?" asked
the ex-governor of Clark.
81 did" replied the congressman.
Then you are liar and you knew
you were liar when you said it,
cried Jennings.
Then the ex-governor snatched a
heavy cane, which Clark was carry
ing. and began to belabor the con-
gresham Justify about the head and
shoulders.
Congressman Clark was standing
talking to DR.. G. A. Nunnally, presi-
dent Of Columbia College at Lake City,
when Governor Jennings approached
70
Jennings approached from behind and,
jerking the stick from the congress
man, struck the latter three times
over the head. Jennings struck with
such force that the walking cane, a
stick three-eighths of an inch in thick
ness, was broken, but, owing to a thick
head Of haid and felt hat, Mr.. Clark
was not seriously injured AS soon
as he realized that ne was being at
tackled, Mr.. Clark wheeled and caught
the stick, wrenching it from Jennings
hands. Bystanders promptly caught
hold of the gentlemen and prevented
any more blows being struck
The language used by Mr.. Clark, to
which Governor Jennings most serius-
! ly objected. was the statement that
! GOh6IuUE J6ulluSS 0AICECu lu6 OIACO
of governor of Florida, replted to be
poor man, and that he left that Office
| reputed to be a man Of wealth.
Where did he get it," asked Mr..
Clark, and this question he repeated in
a signed statement given to the local
! press for publication.
Ex-Governor Jennings is a cousin of
William Jennings Bryan. and it is said
the relationship had much to do with
making him governor Of Florida.

Claude Merrill smiled a CHASTITY

said, abruptly. But, yes, found her
still young and lovely-indeed, more
beautiful than ever And she was
dressed like a queen, in silks and laces

Why should it e'er seem uppermost
Within her mind why should it leap
And frolic like uneasy ghost
Adown her brain dark cloister where
She meant that it should slumber deep1
It seems to cry Give air! give air!'
The secret she has sworn to keep
She's i'll at ease, and troubled sore.
Alone at home, abroad with friends:
She tries to lose it DER and Ger,
But e'er the stalking ghost attends.
So where, do what she will, by day.
BY night when wrapped in dreamful
sleep,
It's thrilling cry rings out: Make wayl"
The secret she has sworn to keep
Some there may bel cannot say
Brave women who will battle thus
tor more than one dread night and lay.
The while they worry, fret and fuss;
But not maid or matron dwells
On this broad earth who sound can
sleep
Until-ah, bliss of bliss-she tells
The secret she has sworn to keep.
