GADSDEN COUNTY MAN

THE ALLIES IN FLORIDA
Old Confederate Veteran
Says Has Seen Nothing
Like it Since Recon
struction Days.
Special to The Journal.

Havana, Fla, April 5.-Major F. c.
Clark of this place is among the Gads-
den county people who have received
letters from Frank Chase, manager for
the Underwood campaign in Florida.
Major Clark has not been deceived III
the least by the tactics which the Wall
Street Interests are using to defeat the
will of the people in Florida and he is
severe in hts denunciation Of the
scheme to foist Underwood upon the
unsuspe citing democratic voters of the
state. To Journal representative ne

four years of my young manhood an
Lees army, in Stewards cavalry. ]
have been a staunch democrat and have
\ consistently stood for and advocated
the principles Of democracy.
But in my entire recollection moth
ing like the game that is now being
worked to defeat Governor Wilson has
ever taken place If we except the re-
construction period soon after the war
when negro was placed at the polls
to dictate your vote.
Now the political boss says: Put
only such names on the ticket as
think you should vote for Do you see
any difference? Is this democracy
Suppose my choice Of the four candi-
dates had been Clark or Harmon in
stead Of Wilson. How could I express
that choice now? From what sources
do these directors get their authority
to select candidates for whom you
shall vote? II this is Democracy, then
God deliver me from IT,
'In the north" continued Major
Clark. 'it is Harmon and Wilson; In
the west, Clark and Wilson; In the
south, Underwood and Wilson.
From the Underwood committee's
letter II seems that the names Of all OF
the candidates, except Underwood and
Wilson, have been erased. Was this
done by order of the state democratic
executive committee? II so, then we
have the wrong men on the committee
II 1t was done without their knowledge
the odium rests on the Underwood
headquarters In Jacksonville.
How much longer Will such work
be tolerated by the masses7 First we
are told that we must pay our taxes n
such manner and by such time tC
be allowed to vote. And then we are
told who we must vote for"
Major Clark says the Underwood
people sent their letter to the wTone
man He is for Woodrow Wilson in
opposition to Underwood and he de-
nounces the methods being employed
to defeat Wilson in this state.

HOUSE STEEL BILL
IS DENOUNCED
Republicans Submit an Adverse Re-
port But II Does Not Include the
Name Of Senator La FoIletts.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, April 5.-An adverse
report on the house steel revision bill,
signed by all of the Republican mem
bers of the finance committee except
Senator La Toilette, was submitted to
the senate today. The bill Is de-
nounced as I'll advised and unfortunate.
II Is declared that the enactment Of
the bill would reduce protection below
the margin of safety and tend to de-
stroy one Of the most important indus
tries OF this country. The committee
contends that parings of 246 different
industrial concerns of eighteen states
showed widespread opposition to the
revision Of the present rates and that
representatives of 225 manufacturers
testified that putting machine tools on
the free list would compel the closing
of their factories
The report says that the house ways
and means committees estimate that
there would be S25 000, 600 Of increased
imports ton annually, IL correct would
mean that foreign iron and steel prod
ucts were to displace American manu-
facturers in the domestic markets.

FIRE TIMELY DISCOVERED

On Sunday night about five O'Clock
smoke was discovered in the hon OF
Mr.. Alexander Metten adjoining the
postoffice. Investigation of the various
ROOMS in the house failed to locate the
fire. The smoke was seen in the garret
in greatest quantity. but no fire could be
found there.
The plaster in the bathroom being
quite warm, it was torn off in an effort to
learn the origin Of the fire. Finally,
some one went into the cellar, and there
the real cause of the FIRE was made clear.
1t seems that the smoke pipe of the
heater passed within two inches of a
white oak sill, and the great heat at
which the heater had been driven dur.
ing the excessive cold of the past few
days, had ignited the sill aud when dis
covered, it had already been burned clean
through, and the fire was slowly but
surely advancing. Had the smoke not
warned the inmates, and had the fire
been allowed to continue through the
night, the building would have probably
been fred and with it the adjoining
buildings, unless our FIRE laddies had as
usual gotten things under control with
their effective fire methods.
The smoke had crept up from tbs
cellar to the gsrret by passing between
the plaster and the outside weather
boarding. 1t was surely a fortunate
escape.
