no campaign tours through the coun-
try, but has remained heroically at
his post of duty.
The south presents him to the ma
ton as one whose private and public
record is without spot or blemish, so
if he is admittedly of presidential
size, why should his residence in the
south be a milestone around the neck
of his presidential aspirations?
Is it not time that we should not
only ask but demand square deal?'
The south has been the 'hewer of
wood and the drawer of water" for
the democratic party Of the nation
for half century; it has built the
fires; it has secured the kettles and
pans, and done the cooking. Is this
to go on forever? Is it never going

FRANK CLARK HAD A HARD
FIGHT

Congressman Frank Clark is show
ing the effects of his recent strenuous
campaign, and when seen at the Ar
agon hotel this morning was plainly
wearied, but glad to know that he
was safely leading his opponent, S. J
Hilburn. Mr.. Clark stated that he
would give Brevard county to Hill
burn by about 100 majority, but that
he expected to beat the Palatka man
by majority between 500 and 600
votes when the final votes were re-
ceived.
In speaking of the campaign just
closed, Mr.. Clark said it was one of
the hardest political fights he had
ever been in, and he was not sorry
to see it ended. Commenting on the
results, he said:
Eat this time 1 can only say that /
am profoundly grateful to my thou
sands of loyal friends throughout the
district who stood so valiantly by me.
The result demonstrates that the
democracy of Florida is entirely ca
pable of managing the political af-
fairs of the commonwealth. While
my majority is not so large as l had
expected, still under all the circum-
stances surrounding the contest it is
satisfactory. Now, that the fight is
over, my sentiment is let us all get
together for the honor, glory and
prosperity of Florida, upon a clean,
sound basis. Jacksonville Metropo-
lis.

FRANK CLARK

Frand Clark made wonderful
fight against great odds, and won 1t
matters not that the majority was
small; the chief consideration is that
this district will have the services in
congress during the next four years
at least, of a tried and able man.
Frank Clark is in a sense the vic
tim of misunderstanding and willful
and malicious Misrepresentation At
times Clark's judgment may have
been poor, but he is not a CRATER.
Among all his traducers, none claim
that he is rich or even we'll to do.
The democrats, unless every vain
points wrong, will elect a president
this year, and the reshaping of the
course of this nation is a rugged task.
There will be no room in congress
during these next four years for nam
by-pambys. Mr.. Hilburn was a good,
clean man, but he lacks the force and
power that Clark possesses, which
will stand Florida and the nation in
such good stead during the coming
reconstruction period.-Orlando Re

Voting for Underwood is worse

Voting for Underwood is worse
than taking a dose of ipecac to him,
yet Frank Mayes has get to vote for
him. and, after Underwood, If there
is any "after," for the candidate that
the unit rule imposes.
Now, isn't that a sad plight to be
in for a man who has spent as much
money as Frank Mayes has done for
the privilege? So if he has not a
right to feel sour, we would like to
know what delegate has?
Acknowledging to having spent in
the first primary $154G0 for the priv
ilege of attending the Baltimore con-
vention, he must have spent great
deal more than that in the second
primary, and all that he can do is to
answer the beck and call of those
delegates he has been holding up in
his newspaper as all that is evil in
politics.
But that sometimes is the irony of
fate, and Frank Mayes has the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that fate has
played the same tricks on others.
Cheer up, look pleasant and mount
the Underwood band wagon like a
good little boy, and quit pulling back
on the reins.

Mr.. UNDERWOOD'S VOTE

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Un-
ion complains that the Commoner is
not giving Mr.. Oscar Underwood
credit for having given his vote and
influential support to the proposition
to elect senators by popular vote. The
Commoner hastens to make amends
and to say that Mr.. Underwood is en-
titled to respect for the vote he cast
in favor of that great reform. 1t is
all the more to his credit that he did
this in the face of the fact that there
was strong opposition to it among his
southern colleagues. The Commoner
has never intended to withhold from
Mr. Underwood or any other man the
credit belonging to him. On the con-
trary, it would have been glad to
have had the opportunity of compli-
menting Mr.. Underwood with respect
to his conduct generally on public
observation-disclosures.
The above is tardy justice, but
there is an old saw which says that
sit is better late than never" Mr..
Underwood, in handling, the revision
of the tariff downward, was more sue
cessful in his efforts than has been
vouchsafed to any other democrat
since the close of the civil war, yet
in his speech at Tampa Mr.. Bryan is
reported to have denounced him as a
reactionary and a tool of the corpora
tons because he once saw him sit
ting at the same table in public
restaurant with a vice president of
some railway company.

WILSON AND THE WORLD
The expected has happened.

The expected has happened
The New York World, in two dou-
ble-column, double-leaded editorial in
it's issue of May Goth, comes out
strongly in favor of Woodrow Wilson
for president.
The World is a great newspaper; II
has large circulation, but like some
other big dailies, the names of which
we might mention, does not WELD a
powerful influence along political
lines.
The causes which have impelled it
to champion the aspirations of Gov
ernor Wilson cannot be hid under
cloak
The Hearst publications have been
advocating the claims of Speaker
Clark for months, and it is largely
through the Hearst publications that
the popular speaker has been Smelling
the woods and scooping in the dele
gates.
Of course the World could not go
to Clark for the reason that Hearst
beat it to him.
Without giving any reasons the
World says that Champ Clark would
be hopelessly beaten in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
Meanwhile the delegates continue
to flock to the standard of the Mis-
sourian.
Admitting that Oscar w. Under
wood is of presidential size, the
World disposes of him by saying that
he is untested as candidate in the
north, and is an unknown quantity to
most of the voters in that section
We believe that we will be sustain
ed in saying that that is puerile ar
gument and will not hold water.
Were not the elder Harrison, John
Tyler, Franklin Pierce, James K. Polk
and other occupants of the White
House unknown at the time of their
nominations, even less so than I'm
derwood, and yet they won easy vic
tories and made excellent presidents.
The World says that in this cam
paign we want to match statesman
ship against demogogism.
Surely eighteen years member of
congress, part of which time he has
been the acknowledged leader of his
party, ought to be a better evidence
of craftsmanship than two years as
governor of state.
The friends of Oscar w. Underwood
invite the closest scrutiny to his pub
lie record, and his private life is
above suspicion.
The war is over, and after fifty
years of hewing wood and toting wa
ter for the democratic party of the
nation the south should be entitled to
a seat at the head of the table.
Indeed, the fatted calf ought to be
slain for it.
We intend to test the matter at
Baltimore.

One of our exchanges demands to
know whence we received our infor-
nation that Woodrow Wilson was
born in Ohio, and not in Virginia, as
has been the general belief during the
progress of the present presidential
campaign. This paper bases its state

that our New Jersey candidate was

BEAUTIES OF THE OLD LOG FIRE

A woman in New York rented an
apartment because the agent repre-
scented to her that it contained an
old-fashioned log fireplace, but upon
trial it smoked so that it rendered it
unfit for use. In consequence Of
which she moved, and held that it
was paramount to an eviction.
In rendering his decision the learn
ed judge showed that he was not de-
void of tenderness and pathos
He said:
Her objection that the fireplace
would not burn logs, but smoked when
fire was started, was not captious
objection, for while most city fire
places or ornamental or decorative,
yet 1 must recognize that the defend
ants tastes craved the soothing COM
fort of a log fire.
"She found happiness before it;
she loved the glare, cracking and
smell of burning wood. Her taste is
not abnormal, but in keeping with a
latent spirituality present in all we'll
balanced minds.
who is so barren of sentiment as
not to love an open fire? 1t is the
fire of our earliest ancestors, when
in our savage state we heated our
bodies and cooked our food. Fire was
also the altar of our devotions, and
before it we offered up our sacrifices
to appease our craving for the I'M
known.
1T was an open fire into which
Abraham would have cast his son,
Isaac, to show his love for Jehovah
had not voice from burning bush
stayed his hand. Fire is one of the
great elements of our earth, and has
been associated with mankind from
dawn of time, when man first began
to discover that he was above the
brute creation.
From the glare of the log-fre Lin
coin obtained the reading-light which
enabled him to fill his mind with the
story of mankind; and in after years
the world was illumined with a gen.
Jus which has softened the tyranny
or governments and lifted free peo-
pie to higher planes.
Poets have given much of poetic. ge-
MUS to celebrating the glories of the
log-fire, and some of the best gems of
poetic thought have been born before
the open fireplace, where embers
crackkle and leaping flames dance.
What mystery the open fire holds is
hard to define; but enough to note
that its presence gives solace to the
mind, brings up pleasant memories
and fills us with content.
Il find that this open fireplace, up
on the implicit faith of the use and
enjoyment of which the defendant
was induced to enter into the lease,
could not be used without rendering
the premises uninhabitable; that
there was a material misrepresenta-
ton of conditions in this regard, and
that defendant was justified in NOV
ing.
