LET OTHERS SPEAK.

The Palatka News has for several
weeks been devoting large share OF IFS
editorial space TO a discussion of the
proposed amendment to Article XIX OF
the state constitution, which, il adopted,
will forever outlaw the beverage liquor
the saloon) business in Florida.
1t has also made it plain to all readers
OF this paper that the entire campaign
against the adoption of this amendment
was organized, and is being paid for,
by the liquor interests of the state,
whose manager is Pleasant A. Holt, one
of the most aStute and INSCRIPTIONS poll
tician in the state, and who has not
hesitated 10 violate the laws OF Florida
by paying the poll taxes OF diSSolute
negroes that they may assist in carrying
the election against the amendment
This week the News will give lis
readers some samples of what other
Florida editors are saying about this
campaign of debauchery by the Jackson
vile whisky bunch.
The press and people in all parts Of
the state are aroused as they have not
been in years-since 1876.
The intelligent negro, the man who
goes 10 the tax collector and pays his
own poll tax, has had free, unopposed
ballot in Florida for years. There has
been and could be no objection TO him,
and he knows it. But when the liquor
dealers of Jacksonville band together
and determine 10 make the negro the
balance of power in Florida, by paying
the poll taxes of thousands OF the most
dissolute, degraded members OF that
race, why, ~ we know that THE
DEMOCRATS WHO TOOK A HAND
IN REDEEMING FLORIDA FROM
CARPET BAG AND NEGRO RULE
IN 1876, WILL ALSO TAKE A VERY
ACTIVE HAND IN SAVING 1T
FROM WHISKY AND NEGRO RULE
IN 1910.
And assisting these old time democrats
and their sons will be the thousands Of
white men who have come TO the state
since the days OF its redemption.

admit, however, that we were little

scheme, which was lacked on TO give
responsibility 10 the cause. We were
told that Ex-Governor Bloxham's pic.
ture would be there, also Supreme Court
Justice Parkhill would furnish his photo,
but they didn't appear, doubtless for the
same reason that the editors didn't ap-
pear-that he was local optioniSt from
an entirely different Standpoint-not to
boost or stand sponsor for the saloons,
but solely because he honestly didn't
believe statewide prohibition would or
could accomplish anything more than
local option. In other words, the edi.
tor is local optionist in the interest OF
temperance, and we believe ii worth
more TO the cause of real temperance
than statewide prohibition as national
laws now stand. But the saddeSt thing
done at the convention was when they
went down in Marion county and got
good old Uncle" Henry Long, gray
haired and tottering on the brink of the
grave, to come up TO Jacksonville and
accept the Craftsmanship OF conven-
ton paid for by the whiskcy interests.
This is the straw that breaks the cancels
back and puts the editor of The Record
squarely on the side of statewide pro.
hibition. Pleas. Holt, you have gone too
far.

Hon. T. A. Jennings Of Pensacola,
whom the Times Union announced as
present and taking part in the recent
great q local 0iquor option convention
and who was elected vice president of
the association, was not present, but al
the time was touring Michigan in an
automobile. But the Times Union need
ed the names of SOME men well known
in the state. r. B. Porter, representa-
tive from Jefferson county, whose name
was also used, wrote the Times Union a
correction, which it finally printed in
small type and placed in such an incon-
spicuous place that few saw it. Judge ].
w. Perkins of DeLand, who was in
Jacksonville on legal business, was told
when he went 10 pay his bill at the
Aragon hotel, that the Convention
Committee" had paid it, The Judge
Indignantly refused to have it so, and
paid his own bill, stating that he was
not a delegate, and was not in attend
ance upon the meeting. Sheriff Lewis
of Jackson county, who was in Jackson
vile on business, was promptly put down
as a delegate, and his name published.
Sheriff Lewis told reporter for the
Florida Journal that he was not dele
gate, and that he was for statewide pro-
hbition. But misrepresentation has ever
been the policy of the Times Union, if
by so doing it could earn its money.

The Times Union has published let
ter purporting TO have been written by
Jefferson Davis, in which the late Pres
ident of the Confedcracy opposes pro
hibtion. 1t was only few weeks ago
that several of the state papers printed a
letter, claimed by some one, TO have
been written by Christ. There is no
evidence to show that the letter pub
lished as coming from Mr.. Davis is not
lust as much of fake as the one cred
tied to the Savior. No proof is needed
to put the latter in the "lake" class.
And the fact that there is nothing in the
official writings of Mr.. Davis 10 confirm
the authenticity of this anti-prohibition
letter, will be enough 10 convince the
average reader that il is also a fake. :"
The News also received a printed copy
of the Jefferson Davis letter. 1t was
sent us by a COMMITTEE OF LIQUOR
DEALERS who are personally interest
ed in the defeat of prohibition. But the
Times Union has been proved 10 be
"iake" promoter TO the satisfaction OF
the people of Florida, who will hesitate
before accepting the Jefferson Davis let
ter as authentic because of its source

speaking through their official Florida
mouth piece, the Times Union.

Drowned Fish.

found in one of the rivers Of Full.
"They were set in artifclally damned

From the DeSoto County News.
The contest is over an amendment to
the state constitution-only that and
nothing more.
The issue involved is recognized of
Tremendous importance 10 the state, and
10 its every interest.
The liquor traffic is already outlawed
in over thirty -four of the forty-Six coun.
lies.
If the amendment fail, the saloons
continue their deadly work, not only in
the wet counties, but TO every other
county TO which they ship and sell.
If the amendment passes, the liquor
traffic becomes an outlaw all over the
state.
Pass the law and Florida no longer
becomes the refuge and dumping ground
for the crowd outlawcd in Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina.
Pass the amendment and the several
counties will have no more county op-
ton contests. Ii will be a matter OF
law enforcement, without the backing
of blind tigers by rich and powerful
liquor and business aggrcgations in Jack
Sonville, Tampa, Pensacola and other
wet counties.
Pass the amendment, and we make
prohibition the permanent and state
wide policy of the commonwealth. Sub
sequent legislatures, elected by the
liquor interests of America, cannot
change the policy.
Defeat the amendment and the same
liquor forces now crying local option"

ulouS as TO means, no one denies. He is
the gencral-in-chiefo OF all the wet forces.
He is still at the helm. His brain is di-
recting the campaign. He wrote the
Price letter, photographed in the Flori-
dian, showing he was helping to elect
the legislature. He has qualified venal
negroes 10 help defeat the amendment
regardless of law and democracy.

Some In Europe and In the Orient That

In Great Britain and on the CONT

that count their ancestry through ten
generations, but their claims to really
ancient lineage seem insignificant
when compared with those of certain
houses In the orient.
We read that the oldest family in
Great Britain, the Mar family In Scot

Then, too, we have the Campbells Of
Argyll, whose date is put down at 1880.
The Grosvenor family, that of the
Duke of Westminster, refers its origin
to the same year that the ConQueror

house of Hapsburg goes back farther
than that. its date being 952. while
the Bourbons proudly mention s64 as
the date of their origin.

An Open Air Hotel,

A man from the west was looking
for q friend in New York who had
gone wrong. He heard his friend had
been sleeping on the benches in Bryant
park and went over there to look for
him. There were a good many unfor-
tunates on the benches. but the par
ticular friend the westerner wanted to
find was not there. However, the
westerner did find another man from
his own town whom he knew and who
knew the man for whom he was
searching.

The Issue Clearly Stated

From Brooksville Southern Argus.
Why do they try TO cover up the issues
with misleading verbiage? In plain En-
glish, the contest is between prohibition
and the saloon, between the dry and the
wet, between temperance and drunken
ness, and between the prosperity of the
many, the whole people, and the few,
the saloon keepcrs-temperance and vir-
tue on one side, drunkenness and vice
on the other. These are the great op-
posing primary principles, all others are
secondary and not germane 10 the pres
ent campaign. Local option, local self
government and personal liberty are
only brought in to muddy the water,
like a cutie fish, 10 mislead voters and
cause them to vote against the principles
of their higher and better nature.
Are you for the amendment
and state wide prohibition, which means
statewide Sobriety, or against the amend
ment and in favor of statewide intern
perancc? This is the issue stripped TO
the skin. 1t is up TO you and your con
science, Mr.. Voter.

there have been, when, it is said, the
coin for each delegates expenses was

put up the coin TO get the crowd, hence
we don't doubt for minute but that
