ALBERT W. GILCHRIST.

Candidate For Governor Of Florida.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-10

Washington, April 9.-(Special)- much ice will the labor vote cut next fall? Secretary Taft isn't the only man who would like to know It is the biggest problem now confronting professional politicians.
 Bryan, Johnson and Judge Gray are figuring on the proposition and no one is taking a deeper interest than those republican representatives hailing from doubtful districts who see a menace to their politicians futures in the latest activ- ities of the American Federation of La bor.
 Organized labor claims to control 5000 900 votes. If true, it holds the balance of political power for not only can It swing the presidential election. but 1t can con central the complexion of the next House How far this claim is true is the prob lem. Every politician is trying to figure out how far the rank and file will fol- low the advice of President Gompers of the American Federation and other labor leaders who met recently in Wash ington.
 No names were mentioned in the appeal they sent to members of the labor unions urging workingmen to vote only for men who can be depended upon to accede to labors demands. But each candi- dates record is to be scrutiniZed and if he is hostile, or even indifferent, he is to be scratched.
 Some inkling of the answer to the great

LABOR VOTE IS GREAT
 PROBLEM IN POLITICS.
Democratic Candidates For President Are Figuring On the Percentage of Labor Vote They Can Control In This Years Campaign While Republicans Profess Not to Fear Any Antagonsm Which May Develop In
 That Quarter

problem may be given in the labor forum on April 19 and 20 when candidates are to have their trying out before organ ized labor. Mass meetings are to be held under President Gompers' call in ev- cry city where workingmen are organized It is expected that as a result of these meetings laboring men will know how to line up.
 Secretary Taft's candidacy is pretty sure to be the big subject of discussion Com pers has branded Taft as inimical to organized labor's best interest, largely on account of his labor decisions as federal judge in Cincinnati. Some other leaders, however, think Taft has shown dispo- sition to be fair to labor in his recent speeches. but has been outspoken against legalizing the boycott.
 Taft's managers here profess to fear no danger to their candidate from organ ized labor. Only a small percentage of workingmen, they say, will follow Com pers without thinking. They declare thero is no such think as labor vote
 Nevertheless, the administration, father of the boom is doing everything possible to demonstrate its friendliness to labor. The President has even intimated that if Congress adjourned without passing the employers liability act and amending the sherman antitrust law so as to permit lawful combinations of workingmen, he will call an extra session. IL IS hardly likely this will be necessary.
 Republican representatives generally are favorably impressed at giving labor some of the things it wants right now. They have their own fences to watch. even II they care nothing about Secretary Tafts candidacy being helped along. w. 5.

INSIDE HISTORY OF
 PORTUGUESE PLOT
Paran Newspaper Gives Details of Plot To Capture King Carlos and Members of the Royal Household But Which Failed = Premier Francois Activity Toward the
 Plotters Appears to Have Led to Assassination

final coup was planned for January 29, when a provisional government was to be proclaimed, but Franco succeeded in foil- ing the conspirators. Seniors Brava, Costa and Moniz, other leaders in the movement were trapped in the national library as they were awaiting the signal and were placed under arrest. Senhor Alpoim alone escaped.
 Franco, then believing it to be a ques ton of life or death for him, hurried the minister of justice to Villa Vicosa to secure the consent of the King to the famous decree giving the premier abso- lute power to crush the government s enemies. This meant death, punishment or exile for the republican conspirators
 It was too late for collective action, ana, according to the Temps the individ- ual revolutionary groups at once sdecreed the Kings assassination, selecting Buca and his confederates to execute the order
 After King Manuels accession, the gov ernment decided to draw a veil over the murders as a serious investigation would compromise too many persons and parties"
 The Temps informant is pessimistic over the future. He says that the sole occupation of leaders of the regenerators and progressists since they resumed pow CT has been to remain quiet and divide the spells. Now, he adds, having had divi- sion half and half their electoral ma chine has turned out 62 regenerators and 59 progressists.

Paris April 9.-The Temps publishes history obtained it says from an inside source of republican plot in Portugal confirming the existence prior to the as- sassination of King Carlos and the crown prince, of veritable revolutionary or ganization in which it states all the re- publican leaders, with the exception of Bernardino Machado, were involved. New and interesting details are furnished con corning the distribution of arms and bombs and the support in the army which the revolutionists had secured.
 The plan of the organization was to take the palace by assault, capture the King and members of the royal family and hold them as hostages while coup was being effected. A blunder on the part of one of the coHspira tors placed some threads of the plot in the possession of Premier Franco, who immediately dis patched police forces to the headquarters of the plotters, resulting in the arrest of Almerid, Chagas and half dozen other leaders.
 This occurred about the middle of Jan uary last when the police surprised the consprators in session and later found large stores of revolvers, bombs and am- munition.
 This precipitated matters in Lisbon and a few days alter another uprising was checked almost before it had begun. The

SCHOONER AGROUND
 AND MAY BE LOST

New York, April 9.-Leaking badly and with seven feet of water in her hold the five-masted schooner George A. Hud- son tonight lies high on the beach on the Long Island coast, two miles west of Southampton, with slight chances of ever being pulled off. The Hudson. which was bound in ballast from Boston for Baltimore, went ashore early today.
 Captain Gardner and his crew of Is men are aboard the schooner, but all though the surf is pounding heavily against her sides. no apprehension Is felt for their safety. A line from the short has been made fast to the vessel and wrecking tugs are lying nearby, Their efforts to drag the Hudson off to- day were futile.
 The Hudson formerly was the Fannie Palmer. She is of 225S gross tons and 266 feet long. She was built at Waldoboro, Maine.

The Danger of Smoke.

The pity of it is that the evils which
come from smoke are all preventable.
Smoke-consumers exist which have
proved their worth. Due care in run
ming fires viii do much. No more fuel
is required under careful management
to produce combustion which shall be
practically smokeless. Those state
ments have been proved over and over
again. 1t is a matter of community
supervision, of laws rightly framed,
and fearlessly administered. For
tunately inspection is by no means a
difficult matter. One city, for ex-
ample, handles that problem by means
of q chart holding six pictures of a
chimney above a factory, the first of
which shows the chimney with no

lions are passable. The last are dan

To ProIone Life


When the vital forces begin to flag,
the marks Of age show themselves.
some men, being of an amiable, cheer
ful, and lively temperament, suppress
these marks until well advanced in
life, and are 20 years younger, both
physically and mentally, than other
men OF the same age. We may take it,
therefore, that old age does not begin
at any fixed period so far as the d.
visions of time divide the periods of
life, but is Influenced by that subtle
agent known as vital energy. The
indications of old age are closely
shown; the weight of years ia mani
tested by the bent figure, the want of
elasticity in the walk, the wrinkles in
the cheeks and forehead. The typical
healthy person who attains old age is
spare of body, and old age emphasizes
this fact by causing paucity of adj
pose tissue. We note that a diininution
OF the physical energy is accompanied
by corresponding diminution of the
power to eliminate waste material
from the body, says the New York
Weekly. Elasticity and strength give
place to hardness and dryness of near
ly all the tissues of the body. The
general health may be good, because
there is harmonious balance be-
tween the action of the nervous sys.
tenn and the circulatory system Per,
