For more than two weeks the sit

through a disagreement between the
street car company and the car oper-
atives has directed the eye of the
state to that city. The people have
watched closely, though from dis
lance, the developments, with hope
that the difficulty would be settles
amicably, and that the contending
parties would be brought together in
an agreement satisfying to each. So
far no such settlement has been
reached, and it seems that this con-
summation is not within sight For
two weeks Adjutant General Foster
has been present in official command
of the state troops that were called
there to insure safety and order.
During that time he has exerted
every effort to bring about an adjust
ment of the trouble, never tagging
in his activity, and though his work
has been unsuccessful, his presence
has made itself manifest, and he has
won the respect and confidence of al
most intimately concerned. 1t is not
often that the executive force OF such
an officer is brought into action. His
official duties are largely administra-
tive, but it is comforting to. know
that when the occasion arises, the
state militia is headed by a man
who can meet the emergency Such
a man General Foster has proved
to be.

There is evidence at hand that the
anti-Bryan element in the democratic
party is making a last desperate eff.
fort to defeat the wishes of the ma

evidence at hand to show that this
movement is very active in Florida
now and is specially directed to the
work of securing delegates to the
national convention at Denver who

Every well-informed citizen Of Flor

the people on the subject-the people

Florida, and are not blown about by
every changing wind of doctrine and
expediency-and you will discover
that they are still loyal to the Ne
braskan giant and believe with all
their hearts that ne should be again

he represents all that is best and
most vital in democracy, and that if
the party cannot win with him it
cannot win at all.

it, gentlemen. Mr. Beard never com.
