Explanation of one Plank Of

Race Track Gambling is Subver'
sive to the Best Interests of
the Great State of Florida.

Second. That race track gambling,
according to its present practices, is
subverslve of the best interests Of the
State, and the present law, which goes
into effect in 1911, should be retained
upon the Statute books"
This law is aimed, not at horse racing
aud the ordinary bets of men about
town, but the regular system. of book
making as is at present carried on at
Jacksonville, Tampa aud Pensacola
Around these race tracks have gath
cred group of talent whose business
it is to make their living at the expense
of the public.
Recently in Jacksonville an illumin'
ating incident took place which serves
to show che hold these people have OBJ
tanned on the political organization,
and their ambition to hold in check
public criticism and free speech.
A woman, who was more or less inter-
ested in the races, felt herself agrieved
at what she considered was an unfair
deal and decided to appeal to public
opinion. She had some circulars printed
attacking the management and prac
tees at Moncrief Park The manager s
of the racing interest learned OF the
circulars, sent one of their hired detec-
tives who obtained from the printers
these circulars and at seven o'clock at
night warrant was sworn out before a
Justice of the peace against the woman
for criminal libel. The regular con-
stable refused to serve the warrant at
that time of night for that sort OF
charge, but the deputy who was reg
ular employee at the races served the
warrant late at night, and for lack OF
opportunity to obtain bond the woman
was compelled to stay in jail that night
and to suffer the indignity OF deten'
ton, and no opportunity was provided
her TO obtain a bond The next day
ample bond was obtained at an early
hour and able counsel were obtained
for her by friends who resented the in
Justice of this proceeding.

E. j. L'ENGLE,
Judge Penney is satisfied from these

best for the people of the Inlet, and it
is only suspicion, unfounded in facts
that Taliaferro is insincere
If those who have held that he is in
sincere can come forward and show the
facts we stand ready to acknowledge
our error in supposing Taliaferro is
honest in his dealing with the people,
otherwise we are from missouri" on

Hon. A. D. Penney, Fort Pierce Fla
Dear Judge: Mr.. Cassidey hasshown
me YOUR letter of the 23rd, regarding
the criticisms of Senator Taliaferro IN
connection with the St. Lucie Inlet
matter. l am taking advantage OF my
old acquaintance with you to ask you
to do what you can to correct the I'M
preston which you say prevails among
the pineapple people. If there shoulu
be allegiance or gratitude to Mr.. Taiia'
ferro anywhere in the State OF Florida
it ought TO be among the plneappie
growers. If they vote against nim' l
10 not see why any public ofhcer snouio
endeavor to satisfy the demands OF MS
constituents. Mr.. Taliaferro secured a
passage of the amended pineapple
schedule in the Senate when the Aldrlch
tariff bill was under discussion, although
the administration forces were against
the amendment. This was the only
amendment opposed by the admlnls'far
zion which was passed in the Senate
and Mr.. Taliaferro accomplished some
thing which no other senator was aole
to do. If the pineapple people vote
against Mr.. Taliaterro after such ac-
tive efforts on his part, it seems 70
me that they cannot have any apprecl-
alton Of diligent, faithful and efficient
service.
