There is no longer any doubt of it.
The presidential campaign in the dem
ocratic ranks has resolved itself into
question of Wilson against the field.
The cloven foot of the interests is re-
vealed. Be it known that the interests
are Of no party yet of all parties.
When the democrats can serve them
they are democratic but If the repub-
licans can serve them they are just as
ardently republican. In the threatened
nomination and probable election of
Woodrow Wilson, the interests scent
danger and it is this threatened dan
ger that has brought about the condi-
ton mentioned above, that of Wilson
against the field of democratic aspir
ants for the presidential nomination.
When the democratic convention
meets at Baltimore there will be two
real divisions of the great party forces,
viz: Wilson and anti-Wilson. The anti
Wilson forces are now divided up into
ers as Clark, Harmon, Underwood and
appear to be and though operating I'M
der different names, there is behind it
all singleness of purpose and that
purpose is to prevent the democratic
presidential nomination going to that
great leader of men, Governor Wilson,
of New Jersey.
Because of this activity in the demo-
cratic ranks it is not to be imagined
for a moment that the interests have
suddenly turned democratic. BY no
means. They are just as busy over
in the republican Camps where they

he has said of the Ever

1T is not necessary to
dwell upon the fact that with
cane produced Of such a cost,
even the Island of Cuba
could not compete with
Florida in the production of
sugar. There is probably no
other body of land in the
world which presents such
remarkable possibilities as
the muck lands bordering
the southern shores of Lake
Okeechobec. With a depth
of soil averaging, perhaps, s

DO YOU KNOW of any
reason why Florida cannot
do likewise?
