Tallahassee, Sept 2-Claiming that
instead OF being conducted as a bust
ness proposition and along business
lines, the drainage of the Florida Ever
gIades has now become the principal
Issue in a bitter political campaign. ].
o. Wright, for over two years chief
drainage engineer in charge of the
work, this morning rendered his resig
nation to the trustees of the internal
improvement fund. The resignation
was accepted and will become effective
Sept 80, by which time the trustees
expect to secure another engineer to
assume rchage of the work. In ten
dering his resignation the chief en-
gineer writes the trustees as follows:

ssGentlemen: When 1 made report
on the drainage of the Everglades four
years ago I was fully convinced as to
the feasibility of their drainage and
the value of the land when drained. 1
havt not changed my opinion on this
subject.
when I accepted the position of
chief drainage engineer two and one
half years ago I thought the matter
had been divorced from politics and
was to be carried on as business
proposition. In this I was mistaken.
During the last six morths the Ever

cal campaign.

sTt has been the subject OF criticism

never seen the Everglades. This trade
of abuse and Misrepresentation has
placed the entire project and every
one connected with it in a false light.
sIt has created dissatisfaction among
the many purchasers of Everglades
lands. 1t has destroyed the confidence
of the public in the project to such an
extent that the future Of the work is
jeopardized. In the face Of this oppo-

conscientiously to promote the recla-

THE BLUE AND GRAY
ARE FOR ROOSEVELT
2SO for Roosevelt; 6 for Wilson; | for
Taft and for DebS

A dispatch the to daily press from
Ada, Oklahoma, says:
There is considerable uneasiness
among democratic politicians here over
the discovery that an overwhelming
majority of the United Confederate
Veterans, who attended the state re-
union here Sept. and 6. are for
Roosevelt for president. The matter
was kept quiet at the time, but the
news of how the wearers of the gray
stood has finally leaked out.
A poll was taken at the big dinner,
at which all were confederate veterans
except members of the visiting drum
corps, who were Union soldiers. Two
hundred and eighty-eight men ex-
pressed their preference. One man
was for Taft, One for Debs, six were
for Wilson and two hundred and eighty
were for Roosevelt.
Taking this as an indication Of the
number of Democrats who will vote
the progressive ticket-and it surely is
a fair one-the democratic leaders
have good reason for the worried looks
they are now wearing.
