In this particular Selma enjoys
great advantage over Mobile and Pen

grounds reflect much credit upon the
city and add greatly TO its educational

the homes of two United States sena-
tors that were almost painful in their
simplicity compared with the impOS-

and gilded palaces of many who have
not served half so long in the United

their memory that can find no express

add materially 10 its appearance and

Leaders of Independence

tional Leader to Come Into
State, Together With His
gen and Graves.

The Jacksonville TlmeS-t mon says
The independence party men are de-
teruined to make d campaign They
are busy enrolling members all over
the state: profess TO ne well satisfied
with the outlook and yesterday sent
the following telegram. from Jackson
vile:
'.WiIliam Randolph Hearst. Chair
man National Committee, Independ-
ence Party. New York.
We believe patriotic Florida offers
a splendid field for the Independence
party. We believe that We will poll a
most gratifying vote We base this be-
lief on our knowledge of the independ-
ent spirit of the citizens OF this state
and our conviction that the party'S
platform is the best that any party
ever put forward Farmers, working
men and business men can subscribe
to its principles, and we have Tepresen-
fatives of these classes with us
Your speeches exposing the fact that
conspicuous Leaders OF both old par
ties are hand-inglOve with the inter
ests the people distTust, have made q
profound impression on the electorate
of this state.
The independence party men of
Florida know that the only thing
necessary TO quicken the public con
science of this state into vigorous &C
tivity is for you and Messrs. Hisgen
and Graves, Howard and Shearn. to
make some speeches here, and we re
specially urge that at least Jackson
vile. Pensacola, Orlando, Ocala and
Tampa be visited We promise warm
welcome to YOU in this progressive and
beautiful state, which every month
adds so materially to its own and the
nations prosperity

Mr. Head. who returned yesterday
from a meeting OF state leaders of the
new party at Jacksonville, said:
1--WE hope TO know IL a few days
just when and where Messrs- Hearst,
Hisgen md Graves viii speak. We
want them in every center, but If that
Is impossible we will urge that
speeches be made in at least Jackson
vile, Pensacola and Tampa. I find
that in Jacksonville and elsewhere
there IS a general desire 10 meet and
hear Messrs. Hearst and Graves. Some
gentlemen have suggested that it be q
nOn-partisan greeting because Col.
Graves is q former resident OF this
state and a southerner and Mr.. Hearst
is distinguished citizen of the repub-
lie. This attitude has been taken in
various communities
Mr. Head also said that he had per-
SOnaIly filed the list of electors with
Secretary OF State Crawford. and that
there was no doubt about their names
appearing on the ballots.

in good repair and we'll oiled; the type
was clear. and IL she doubted the

She wrote the neatest letter In the Of

firm were able to distinguish her wide
margins and neat paragraphs.
One day she was promoted to be
the senior partners private secretary
over the heads OF other women who
had been there twice as long and were
supposed to know twice as much. She
Immediately studied shorthand and
brought to that the same painstaking

she earns a high salary and is worth
