3 El!NlNE / MEN
HAVE NO HOPE
Hope Built Up en- Split in the
Republican Party.
Disappears.
BENEFITS DEFEAT is SURE
Discouraged and Disappointed
at Democratic State
Headquarters.

PARKERSBURG, Sept. 25-The
News that divided Republican par
ty had gotten together and would go
into the campaign with one state
ticket and that ticket headed by q
man OF irreproachable private char
acter, and Of a high political integri-
ty and fairness characterizing his
public life, was not received at DEM
ocratic state headquarters in the big
Union Trust building in this city with
any marked degree OF enthusiasm.
On the contrary. It was very great
disappointment TO Chairman Neal,
Secretary Kenney and the other big
leaders who are running the cam
paign from here. They make no at
tempt to conceal their true feelings
about the matter.
Said one of them. who In active
in the management OF the Bennett
campaign: I'VE had not only hoped
strongly, but had every reason to be-
|lieve, that the two factions could not
agree. and that the campaign would
go TO: the finish with split-up-tiie-
middle party with two separate and
distinct tickets. We believed that the
Lincoln party had gone too far to
quit and be good. but our calculations
seem to have gone awry. It only goes
to prove the oft repeated statement
OF fact, which Is now automatic in Its
verify, that Republicans may light
among themselves before the CAM
paign, or up to the very beginning Of
one. and then get together on COM
mon ground as harmoniously as IL
r1nfhtnD IN ,5tP-
ference among them ruffied their
tempers."
What do you think of the COM
promise candidate. Mr.. w. E. Glass
cock?" was asked.
"Of the names most prominently
suggested, ! think Mr.. Glasscock was
by far the most available man for
the Republican party under the cir
cumstances. His private life is with
out blemish, and he stands high as
Ia politician who Is eminently fair
and who possesses "a high sense Of
honor. While the Scherr faction crit
icised his Intimacy with senator FL
kins in political and business way,
they did not offer single other OBJ.
lection to his candidacy
What do you think of your par
TVS prospects now?"
"They are, Of course, very material
ly lessened. think that we will benz
eft to some extent by the Republican
dissensions which split the party but
I fear that we will not benefit to the
extent necessary for US to elect Mr..
Bennett Even with the two tickets
in the field never felt that we had
- ~
of our state ticket excent Bennett.
and now fear that the nomination
of Galsscox has put that without the
pale of probability"
This interview very accurately re-
fleets the sentiments of other Benz
nett campaign managers here. ex-
pressed in private and confidential
way to friends.

STRANGERS IN THE CITY.

There are more strangers in Ocala
than we have ever seen before With
just little advertising in the north
done in the right manner, a few hun
dred dollars spent judiciously. this city
could double it's population in winter
in very short time, and many of the
people who are induced to come would
become permanent citizens. It is a
daily occurrence, and many times sew
eral a day, call at the Star office to
find rooms, board and cottages. The
demand for houses, and particularly
those Of four, five and six rooms, is
phenomenal and there is dozen ap-
plications for every house, as soon as
it is vacant, and when an item appears
in the papers that a cottage is to be
built flood of inquiries greet the
prospective builder. The Star has of
ten urged our citizens to build more
cottages Of this class, and as the city
grows and spreads. it is absolutely
necessary to do so. 1t is a good invest
ment. safe and sound, and the prop
erty will increase in value.

He said the preacher went to a GER

wait for second table. He resented 1t
and begged to be let in at first, but

would eat it,. Great laughter.
The dinner was all that could be de-
sired. There was cold ham, cold roast,
buttered bread, pies and good coffee in
abundance. One lady told the Star re-
porter that 1000 persons partOok and
that there was plenty for all. This
