TELL Us HOW
TO VOTE CLUB
New Way TO Expose Bryan to
RidiCuIG

Washington, Feb. 23.-The "Tell-Us-
How-To-Vote Club" is a new demo-
cratic organization at the Capitol. Re
preventative Frank Clark, of Florida
the man who started the investigation
of the Florida Everglades scandal, is
president of the club, which has for
its purpose the ridiculing of William
Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Clark said the
club would endeavor to make Mr..
Bryan quit meddling in legislative af-
fairs of the House The members OF
the new organization are pledged to
ask Mr. Bryan how they shall vote
The mode of procedure, as explained
my Mr.. Clark, is simple.
I'VE will suppose, said Mr.. Clark
that the house is considering a reso
luton from the committee on rule
proposing to give the committee OF
interstate commerce an additional jan
itor. Under ordinary circumstance
most of the democrats would probabl
vote fir that resolution after being con
vinced that another janitor was nee
essary to hte comfort and cleanlines
of Judge Adamson and his associate
on the committee, but with the bite
experience which has come to us
late we pause.
What, we ask ourselves, does thi
/ men? Is there something hidde
} there? Has the money devil been {
work? Is there negro in the woot
: pile? Is the proposed janitor an ager
of the sugar trust, the oil trust, O
a some other octopus? We just can
Q move without calling on Lincoln. Neb

need FELT FOR
INSPECTOR OF
BUILDINGS HERE
The fire REPORT SHOWS IT
Most Cities of This Size Have
Inspectors

Statistics obtained from the report
recently made by the chief of the fire
department shows that there is need
of an inspector of buildings for the
| city of Americus.
Of the fifty alarms sent into the
fire department last year for various
| reasons, thirteen of them arose from
fires having been caused by defective
fiues in houses One of the duties of
an inspector of buildings would be to
prevent the occurrence of just sucn
fires as these by seeing that flues
are properly constructed.
1t is pointed out that in practical
ly all cities of the size of Americus
that an inspector of buildings is one
of the city officials and has supervis,
ion of the granting of building permits
and the inspection of new buildings
to see that they conform to the re-
quirements made by the fire insurance
companies through the underwriters
association, of which all the reputable
fire insurance companies are mem
bers.
That there would be additional ex-
pense incurred by the establishment
of an inspection of city buildings is, of
course, true, but it is claimed that
this expense would be small and would
be worth while, Construction Of
buildings in the city is likely to be
more lively in the immediate future
than it has been in the past, as the ex-
tension of water and sewerage facil-
tiles has made way for many new resi-
dences and factories. The need, there
fore, of adequate and intelligent SUI
pervision of these buildings is more
imperative.

Never before has a political par

But never has any party had such

figure out how many newspapers in

of the so in the state, supported
Roosevelt even after his forces had
won the state convention on an un-

more than that many editors who
will give their personal vote to the

that the ticket will carry in the
