he declared that the Formation Of a

and said that republicans believing in
progressive ideas should come into the
democratic party.
The tariff, high cost of living, direct
election of United States senators and
kindred subjects were discussed at
length by Speaker Clark.
After praising the work of the pres
ent House of Representative he said
that the cost of living had gone up
sixty per cent In the last fifteen years
while wages had increased only twelve
per cent, and added;

ALMOST ASSASSINATION
Said Judge Gordon of the Attack on
Charlie JOnes-Gave EdIing
the Limit
(Tampa Tribune, Sept. u

r. 8. Edling. the ex-soldier who was
convicted Of assaulting Charles +.
Jones. Of Jacksonville. was yesterday
morning sentenced by Judge II. C..
Gordon to term OF six months at
hard labor, the limit which the law al
lows for assault and battery. In pass
ing sentence, Judge II. G. Gordon said:
The court will deny the motion for
a new trial In my opinion, the de-
fendant has had a fair and impartial
trial, and the verdict was fully war
ranted by the evidence. While, in the
opinion Of the court. the attorneys for
Edling did the best they could under
the circumstances. the courts opinion
Is that there is nothing in the de-
fense. 1t appears that Charles F..
Jones came to Tampa; that he had a
perfect right to go where he pleased
and to make the investigation Of gam
bling conditions here. 1t is not for the
court TO say whether his motive was
good or bad. That has nothing to do
with the case at bar.
"It appears from the testimony that
the defendant not only made an as
sault on Jones, but that it was a most
brutal assault. and the fact that the
defendant had no personal grievance
against Jones warrants the conclusion
that the assault perpetrated by him
was instigated.
''It is bad state OF affairs when
anyone can procure the commission of
an assault under such circumstances
as were shown to exist in this case. II
differs from assassination only in a
matter of degree. The court will give
you the limit.
1.-The sentence of the court is that
you be confined in the county Jail at
hard labor for six months"
