The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1908-12-04

The Jacksonville Times Union rather
discredits the statement of The True
Democrat that the largest and finest
eamphor trees in the State are to be
found in Tallahassee, and cites speci-
mems in that place and at Crescent
City. We thought brother Ball was a
native of Tallahassee tnd would ever
be loyal to this town.

Instead of going to war as has been
predicted for a couple of years. it is
now believed that the United States
and Japan have established a treaty
which will be of great Importance to
the two countries.

An the interests which affect the

tiguous country are looking up. Lum-

cent financial depression and prevented
any calamitous failures. Now all are
ready for the period of prosperity that
b certainly coming.

tsy United press.)

CHICAGO. June 3.-sudden life
has been injected into the presf-
Dental Blooms OF ell the fasorite
sons by the belief that Secretary
Taft can be beaten on the issue OF
his Memorial Day address at
Grants tomb. In which he referred
TO General Grants drunkenness.
The fight Is on today in q dozen
different quarters. aud plans are
being laid TO win the nomination
away from the secretary OF war.
Who last week was looked upon as
being almost certain Of success.
News comes from Indianapolis
this morning that an effort is be-
Ing made there TO form an alliance
Of candidates against Taft. Frank

hufrledly and arrived here today to

The Hughes boomers and the
Knox managers also are using
every means OF making the most of
the sitaution. All have new hope
and the tension in the situation has
more than doubled in the last "a
hours.
Costly Remarks OF Tafts.
One of the Fairbanks supporters
today said: "The remarks made
by Taft at Grants tomb win be
mentioned at every opportunity on
the floor OF the convention. Ii
was the most damaging statement
that a presidential candidate ever
made so far as know Just be-
fore a convention when he seemed
sure of nomination.
Members of the G. A. r.. all
over the country are furious that
Taft should have seen III to drag
up the only thing that was ever
said to the discredit of Grant and
take occasion to refer to IL at
memorial exercises at Grants. own
tomb. II was such a display of
bad Judgment that it will weaken
the confidence of the people in
him.
This thing is going TO be used
TO beat Taft and II win beat him

A story that Is thick In tho air

that Roosevelt will be nominated

defeated.

As soon az the ordinance appTa-

priation ordinance goes into effect.
Many Localities Neglected.
There are many portions OF the
residence districts not now GOV.
cred by the private garbage com.
panles. In other districts the col.
lection Is irregular and very un.
satisfactory. All the councllmen
from the outside wards are anx.
iously awaiting the Inauguration OF
the municipal system as a means OF
removing the garbage from their
districts regularly.
II has developed that there will
be no further opposition 20 the
scheme covered in the Murphy or
dinance. which passed the council.
Councilman III Gill gave the inn
preston ut one TIME that he might
appeal to a referendum vote from
the people on the ordinance, but he
has reached the decision that this
would probably not be advisable.

However" said Councilman Gill
yesterday. you can bank your last

of these Medium incinerators pur.

say. They are not as satisfactory
as many others. and before the
summer Is past the people who live
near the present incineratur will
concede the fact. This plant has no
direct drop to handle refuse from

that all this rubbish IS piled out
