Dade City Star:--Honest, Con.

Albert Gichrist, south Florida's
candidate for governor, was in the
city yesterday in the interests of
his candidacy, incidentally paying
this Office a call. The general is
certainly makinga thorough can
vass of the "feld," and the gentle
man from Duval had better look
to his laurels. Gilchrist made a
very favorable impression upon
our people, and he will no doubt
have n large following N this
county.

TRYING TO MAKE SAINTS
OUT OF THEMSELVES

The action OF the Republicans of
Cleveland in pledgIng their candid
ates for representative and state sena
tor to vote against any further leg
islation which may be asked or de.
manded by the Anti-Saloon league
is proof of the assertion which has
frequently been made. that the Re
publicans In Columbus are using the
temperance wave which is sweeping
over the country merely as a cloak
to hide the rottenness of their official
acts in conducting the affairs Of
the various departments at Che capi-
tol. The agreement which was made
between the Cleveland Republicans
and the liquor interests was mado
secretly and was Intended to be,
kept secret until after the election

the present he will call "'Unclean I
Unclean" to all wno approach him
but a little later he will make a
trip through the state injecting all
he can with his deprosy.
1t was thought for day or two
that the revelations made by Mr..
Hearst and the acknowledgment upon
the part OF the senator would wholly
eliminate him from Republican poll
ties In Ohio and the nation, but the
hopes of the leaders we're soon blast

declined to attend the meeting of
the league Of national Republican
clubs at which he and Mr.. Taft
we're scheduled to speak, but he
does not propose to give mp his seat
in the senate so easily. Foraker is
full of fight and his enemies know
1t. They are alarmed and are will
ing to admit that the Republican
state and national ticket is going
to suffer very materially because o

TAFT ACCEPTS CoX'S HELP
1t will be remembered that at a
recent meeting, the Republican Cen
trail Committee OF Hamilton County
appointed a special committee OF
three, consisting of Geoilge b. Cox,
the Cincinnati boss and his two
chief lieutenants, August Hermann
and r. III Hynicka to confer with
Mir. Taft, on the conduct of the
campaign in his behalf in Cincinnati
and Hamilton County.
When the appointment of his COM
mittee was first announced, Mr..
Taft refused to discuss the matter
and 1t was presumed that he intend
ed TO ignore the action of the coun.
ty committee and have nothing to
do with the special committee II
appointed
Cox, Hynlcka and Hermann are
the actual heads of the machine in
Hamilton county which Mr.. Taft so
boldly denounced in q speech at
Akron three years ago In which he
said that the government under
Cox's control "is constantly descrlb.
ed as a corrupt one" and that If
he were at home to vote that year
he would cast his vote against the
local ticket nominated by the Re-
publican oranization.

A BANKERS VIEW

The impression appears to be that
the bankers OF the country are unan.
imously opposed to Mr.. Bryan's plan
for securing the deposits in all banks
by creating fund among bankers
for that purpose. 1t is with pleasure
that we herewith publish an article
bearing on the subject which was
written by one of the bankers of
Marion II shows conclusively that
some OF the bankers of the city
realize that such plan would not
only be a protection for the deposit
tors, but would at the same time
protect the bankers from panicky
depositors. The article follows:
Mr.. Harding in an editorial In
recent issue OF the Star quotes
an editorial from the Washington
Post regarding the guarantee OF
bank deposit which says, among
other things that broken bank
hurts business in more than an in
solvent railroad and dollar for dol
lar, in mere than an insolvent far
mer, lawyer, doctor or preacher.
"The man who loses $4,000 in
trade hurts himself and the commun-
ity as much as the man who loses
$4,000 deposited In bank.
"The Post also spoke of the
guarantee plan as socialism pure and
simple, In the first place, the writ
er does not believe that the editor
OF the Post believes what he has
written above for there is no COM.
parison between the railroad, farm.
.er, doctor, lawyer or preacher and
the public with the bank and the
public, and this last financial panic
Is certainly the best illustration OF
this fact. There is no question but
this panic came about through two
large interests becoming locked in
a deadly battle for supremacy,
namely the Heintz and Rockefeller
interests, and 1t Is unnecessary to
give a history OF this battle, suffice
10 say that II had been going on.

point we want to make Is this; that
there was no occasion for this bat.
tie to upset the whole financial world
and throw thousands OF men out OF
employment, cripple industry and
cause the boarding of monsy not
alone by the people but by the
banks themselves, for adj will admit
that the volumes of money to do
business on was as great as at any
time during previous years of the
good times we had been experiencing

anyway. They were secretly hobnob-
bing with the liquor interests in
the hope of securing their assistance
in being elected to their Offices
without allowing the temperance adj
vocates to know what their true po-
sition was, in the hope OF securing
some of those votes too, and their
action proves that the Republicans,
are temperance popIe where 1t is
policy to be temperance people and
liquor people where 1t is policy to be
liquor people; that as party the
Republicans are no more tenn
perance people than they have been
for the past score of years and every
one knows that the liquor element
has been on the side OF the Republl
cans during that time.
Cox, Brown and Guilbert are play
ing the same kind OF politics that is
being played in Cleveland The re-.
cent investigation into the depart.
npents at Columbus left a bad taste
in the mouths of the voters of the
state and they were determined to
put the occupants of those offices
out of business and with them all
who had been connected in any
way with the rotten administration.
The leaders realized that they must
have some cloak to cover up their
rottenness of their administrations
They looked about them and the
temperance cause was the one which
proved most convenient. They took
up with II because 1t was becoming
popular and by hiding behind that
they hoped to keep the people from
thinking of their official acts and
remember only that they were on
the side of temperance.
The temperance people of course
cannot be blamed, for they could no,
well have kept these men from al
ligning themselves with their cause
but they can prevent the infamous
deal which they have sought to put
through. They can prevent them from
hidirIy behind moral question in
order to perpetuete themselves in
Office to prey upon the people.
Many of the, county local option
contests will be over before the
state election is, due. Let the voters
settle the temperance question as
they may see fit and then let them
turn their attention to the welfare
Of the people in state affairs and at
tend to those men who have sought
to pull the wool over the eyes of the
people by hiding behind the temper
ance movement.

Pittsburg, May 2G-That the owners
of both Boston and Pittsburg teams in
the National League will protest Wig
orously against any move on the part
of the Robisons to dispose of the st.
Louis team to a syndicate of racing
men was shown here Monday when
Pres Dovey Of the Bostons held long
conference with Pres. Dreyfus of the
Pittsburgs and it was decided to join
Hermann of Cincinnati in his re-
ported protest to the Robisons, who
their team to a racing syndicate there.
Dovey said:
II do not think it would be good ball
business to allow any syndicate of
racing men to get into the game at
ST. Louis or anywhere else, and 1
would be much opposed to the move
now reported on at st. Louis. AS it IS,
there is much of the element of sport
in baseball; but allow a gang of race
track people to get hold of it, and it
would soon drop as low as the racing
game.
II am much surprised at the news
i. from St Louis, too. as it was kept
| from me most religiously while | was
| there last week. No later than Satur-
| day l talked with both Stanley and
Frank de Haas Robson, and they APP
peared enthusiastic over their new
grandstand which will be built for
next years games. They said nothing
to me about wanting to sell the club
