PLATFORM SUGGESTIONS FROM
FLORIDA MAN

Col. Frank Harris, editor of the
Ocala Banner, who left last night as
delegate at large, has a number of
suggestions which he will offer for in
corporation in the democratic plat
form.
These suggestions are to be sub
mitted to the Florida delegation.
Among them is one suggested to
him by J. D. Roney, assistant indus
trial agent of the Seaboard, who is a
member of the national executive
committee. AS is we'll known, Mr..
Roney is great national drainage
advocate, using his very best efforts
to this end.
This has resulted in his having
Colonel Harris incorporate among the
ideas he has to present TO the con-
vention a plank covering this partic-
ular subject, which at present is con-
sidered of vital Importance by many
of the most distinguished men in the
United tates.
The suggestion is number seven of
those TO be presented by Colonel
Harris, and reads as follows:
I'VE favor the reclamation of the
vast area of swamp and oyerfiowed
lands in the United States. and the
appropriation by the federal govern
ment Of sufficient funds to make sur
veys of such lands, to develop plans
for draining the same, and to super
wise the work of construction. -

The constantly harp upon the
statement that their candidate is
strong in the north" and that no
where save in the south is there
heard the expression of any doubt
about the ability of a southern man
to be elected if nominated yet they
shut their eyes to the fact that there
is not a single delegate from north
ern state instructed for Underwood
nor has his name even been printed
as a candidate upon the ballot of a
single northern state where presi-
Dental preference primary has been
held.-Tampa Times.
We have yet to see an unfavorable
criticism of Mr.. Underwood by any
northern newspaper When they
speak of him at all it is with the most
profound respect. AS to not being on
the tickle of any primary election
held in any northern state, nor was
the name of Gaynor nor Marshall,
nor Foss, all of whom are carrying
on an active propaganda for the
nomination, on any ballot of single
northern state. Underwood is the
coming man.

The very fact that Sanford has
been made a special road district.
and will call an election to vote bonds
for brick roads, has given this dis
trict much notice of a complimentary
character. Even Orange county has
shared in the compliment, although
the county is not in this district, and
as county turned down the issue Of
bonds for brick roads last fall. San
ford will have the good roads and
then when the tourists visit our city
next winter they will soon discover
what part of Orange county is so pro-
ressive.-Sanford Herald.

people deny him a second term
Mr.. Taft has very little prospect 4
being elected. A big selection Of hh
own party is against him and Il Is
embittered that it will be impossible
to get the full republican vote to IL
polls. Even if a new party. led b.
Col. Roosevelt isn't started, the can
paign in his behalf will lack enthus
asm. The admirers OF Col RooseEeh
will be lukewarm in support Of The
ticket, and when urged to assist n
the campaign, will likely answer. "ycu
insisted on having Mr.. Taft nov

And Mr. Taft will have opposed %
him a united and enthusiastic demo
cratic party, a party feeling certain
of victory. He will find il impossbl
to make Roadway against 1t. The
voters who want to be on the winning
side will be against him. and theH
number will be unusually large tbs

tainty of democratic success. Whls
therefore he has the Joy Of success
in the convention, he will have bitter
ness of defeat at the polls.

If there ever was a doub OF COL
Roosevelt's fitness for sane rule ana

is lacking in the qualities of leader

ability to direct the affairs OF a NJ

but lacking in judgment. And y
many minds the question is ever pre-

great that he is willing to sacrines
everything to gain it.
Mr.. Taft will fail Of getting sec

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The platform adopted at Chicago
doesn't read like the work of states.
men. The impression it makes is
that it was made to catch votes. II
seeks to win the toilers by promises
of satisfactory personal injury legis-
lation and the reduction of the cost
of living when the cause of its high
cost is discovered 1t aims to get the
good will Of capitalists and corpora
tions by promising legislation making
clearer what acts are criminal under
the antitrust law, and favors a com
mission to adjust questions arising
under the interstate commerce laws,
questions now settled in the courts.
| Nothing definite is promised in re-
spect to lowering the tariff. 1t is as
serted that the protective system
doesn't contribute to the high cost of
living and declares that the best way
of revising the tariff is by means of 4
tariff board. 1t is conceded that some
of the tariff schedules are too high,
but there is nothing definite asserted
respecting the tariff except that the
wage-earner must be protected in his
wages-that the protective system is
! necessary for his protection.
| 1t was expected that a definite
stand would be taken in behalf of re-
forming the banking and currency
laws, but the grand old party doesn't
seem to have been equal to that. The
Aldrich plan doesn't get an endorse
ment, but it is recommended that an
investigation be made of the agricul-
tural credit associations and corpora
tions of other countries with the view
of supplying by means of such insti-
tutions money to farmers when need
ed for moving crops. A real need Of
the country, the reform of the bank
ing and currency laws, is practically
| ignored
The party takes position against
the recall of judges, but it favors leg
islation for simpler machinery for the
trial of judge who is accused of
wrongful acts in his judicial capacity.
That is a concession to public senti-
ment There has been much COM
plant that judges escape punishment
for wrongful acts because of the
| cum berSomeneSS of impeachment
proceedings.
The party is in line with public
sentiment in it's recommendation of
| Legislation prohibiting corporations
from contributing to campaign funds.
Probably if corporations were not so
strongly solicited there would be less
corporation money in such funds, but
how are presidential campaigns to be
| financed if corporations are prohibited
from making campaign contributions :?
Could Col. Roosevelt answer that
question? He once described himself
in a letter to the late Mr. Hartman
as practical man.
The platform touches upon many
other things, but the foregoing are
its leading features. As a rule, after
a campaign is over, the greater part
of the platform is practically forgot
ten. 1t is pretty certain thta the
most of this new declaration of re-
publican principles will not be re-
membered by the public long.-Savan-
nah News.
