THE JEFFERSONIAN

November 26th, 1909. I have chal-
lenged the Bill Towards and Lon
Livin gstons time and time again to
rise in their places in Congress and
deny what Cannon said about them
in that speech. They dare not do it.
In their private correspondence, and
in their speeches in their Districts
they are telling all sorts of lies about
the effect of their vote on the 18th
of March, 1909, but not one of these
deserters has the effrontery to rise
before his colleagues in Congress and
dispute the proposition that their de-
sertion to Cannon, ON the day named.
was the salvation of the old rules
which were necessary to Cannon in
his jan1ming through Congress the
infamous new tariff law.

A FLORIDA LETTER OF IN
TEREST.

Dear Sir:-I read your Magazine
with a great deal of interest. The
last article on Socialism, especially
the latter part of it in regard to the
decadence of real constructive states
manship in the South, was timely
and true.
| read the speeches of Prentiss and
Lamar, from my own State, Brecken-
ridge and Clay, Hill and Stephens
and Grady, and Morgan and Vance,
and others, and then to hear such
rot as we have to endure in the pres
emit contest in this State over the
United States Senatorship between
Broward and Taliaferro; and l think
of the contrast with blush Of shame
for our Southland.
"GOd give us Mem.
We now have the almost incOn-
ceivable spectacle of a Congressman
leaving his seat in Washington and
stumping the State Of Florida in be-
half of a Senator, going up and down
the State wearing himself out in the
interest of a faction, when there is
pending important legislation for
which he is drawing a salary to act
upon. I refer to Frank Clark, who
is supposed to be a Democrat from
Florida.
The same crowd that elected him
is backing Taliaferro, and God knows
where the common people Of Florida
come in on this sort of commercial
politics.
I think that you are correct in your
idea that the people are beginning to
wake up.
Truly, "The night is far spent, the
day is at hand"
Wishing you success, I am
