MAY MEET TO DISCUSS oUEs-
TIoN-cRoMWELL GIBBONS RE.
PLIES TO w. H. MILTON, AND
SAYS HE is WILLING TO REACH
AGREEMENT.

In an effort to curtail campaign ex-
penses, Florida politicians, who are
candidates for Office, are casting about
them for a plan which will effectively
remedy the evil. This desire has taken
root In the ranks of the gubernatorial
candidates and it seems that Crom-
Wen Gibbons, Park Trammell, W. H.
Milton, ]. w. Watson, and the others
VINO aspire to be F1orida's next COVER
nor, will get together at no distant
date to agree upon some plan.
In this connection, Cromwell Glib
oons, Jacksonville's prominent citizen
and attorney, has addressed the fol-
lowing reply to a letter from w. H
Milton, in which he states that he will
be glad to discuss the question Of cam
paign expenses with his opponents in
the race:
Your letter Of recent date, addressed
to the several Democratic candidates
for the Office Of governor of Florida,
submitting a proposition purporting to
provide for curtailing campaign ex-
penses, was duly received, and would
have been answered sooner, but have
been waiting for an opportunity of dis
cusstng this matter with you in per-
son before giving my public views

state my position to all the candidates
and the public on the subject.
There are many plans that can be
proposed that will, in my opinion
bring about the curtailment of cam
paign expenses in addition to the one
suggested by yourself and the views
mentioned by Mr.. Trammeu that IN
doubtedly would remedy the situation
in reference to lessening the expenses
of campaign and minimize the evil OF
spending money for political purposes

WOOD BLOCKS
ARE APPROVED
BY ST. LOUIS
DOWN TOWN STREETS OF THAT
CITY ARE TO BE PAVED WITH
THEM, TAKING THE PLACE OF
THE GRANITE BLOCKS

That wood block paving is becoming
more popular with usage and that 1t
is the best paving to be lad, is shown
by the determination of ST. Louis to
replace the granite block paving with
the wood blocks, as shown by the fol-
lowing taken from the St Louis Globe
Democrat of recent date:
Public hearings on the reconstruc-
ton with wood blocks of several down
town streets, held yesterday by the
board Of public improvements, indi-
cate, according to James c. Travilla,
street commissioner, the approaching
repaving with wood blocks of the en-
tire down town shopping district of
st. Louis, now paved with granite
blocks. Not a protest was made by
abutting property owners, who will
have to pay the cost, against repaving
Washington avenue from Twelfth to
Eighteenth streets, Ninth street from
Market street to Washington avenue
and st. Charles street from Fourth to
Seventh.
THE board approved ordinance for
repaying Olive street from Twelfth to
Fourteenth with wood blocks and for
putting wood blocks on Fair avenue
between Natural Bridge Road and
Kossuth avenue on Benton street from
Twentieth street to Jefferson ave-
nue., and for paving Herbert street
from Eleventh to Twenty-first with
asphalt
Mr.. Travilla declared the city's ex-
perience with wood blocks had been
satisfactory. He pointed out that the
bleeding during the hot weather Of
the newly laid blocks on Washington
avenue between Fourth and Twelfth
streets. which covered the street with
viscous tar-like substance, was the
experience in hot weather the first
year the blocks were laid, and he
pointed to absence Of the bleeding on
Olive street as evidence this condition
existed only the first summer"

VIEWS OF CHAMP CLARK.
Reno Fight Fake-Bryan and Roosevelt
May End in the Pulpit

Washington, Feb. 20 Speaker-to-be
Champ Clark, during an address at Cal
vary Baptist church of Washington Fri
day night, alluded to the Jeffries. Johnson
fight as that fake przefghting affair OF
july last" 'None of us think prizetlght-
ing a very agreeable pastime or a nice
thing to be fostered by an enlightened
people" he said. "Yet Is years ago prize
fighting could be carried on in every
state of the union To-day it is against
the law in nearly every state. Nevada
was the last to get in line, and it is a
pity that she did not enact prohibitive
laws against the brutal sport before that
great and scandalous fake was pulled off
in Reno last July"
Mr.. Clark declared that the recent ac-
tivity of laymen in religious affairs had
done much good, and that more good
was to be expected from this cooperation
of the laiety with the clergy. He de-
clared that President Taft, Col. Roose-
welt and William Jennings Bryan were
qualified to go into the pulpit and preach
sermons. He would not be surprised, he
said, if Col. Roosevelt or Mr.. Bryan
ended as preachers.

forth in the note from st. Petersburg

sting out of its humiliation. II is be-
leved In Pekin that even should China
acquiesce. Russia would not accept her
promise, but would insure its fulfllment
by occupying certain points in Chinese
Turkestan.
The foreign board states that il has
asked Russian Minister Korostovetz for
a more explicit statement of the demands
which il is claimed are vague. The reply
of the diplomat is that his government
already has been most explicit. The
foreign board further affirms that Russia
has demanded the establishment of Rus
