Was hil: ton, April Represen.
t;.ti.o a.k mas sent to Postmaster
ucLalal Luyicson Il list CT Ii:
IcuonlrcAua iur appointment Is post.
ni.., u.., to succeed Republican fIice
holders wAoac four year terms have
expired.
Several Of these also have been
named l0r appointment by Congress-
man LEngle, but in the majority
OF cases l. 'En.le has named men in
opposition TO Clark's Choice. 1t will
be interesting to note whose recon.
incubation is acted upon BY tho
postmaster general. 1t would be un-
fair to the other representatives il
Mr.. L'Engle is allowed to name men
f0r appointment in their districts,
they say. On the ether hand il POST
master General Burlescn accepts tho
recommendations made by Rcpresen-
tatives Wilson, Clark and Sparkman,
Representative L'Engle will have no
patronage pie" to distribute.
This situation will undoubtedly
cause good sized mixup in the state
and will put up to President Wilson
the matter Of choosing between Rep
resentative L'Engle, who classes
himself az q progressive" as doea
President Wilson. or Representatives
Sparkman and Clark who are de-
clared by Representatives Wilson
and l. Engle not to be "plogres.
sives." 1t 10 probable that the sen.
ators will be called into the eht to
rsme their preference between tho
opposing parties. The postmasters
recommended by Representative
Clark are;
Fernandina-Elmer J. Roux.
Starke-John w. Alverex.
Alachua-Joseph A. Williams
Live Oak-William r. Dorman.
Eau Callie-George w. Rossch.
Fort Pierce-Arthur b. Brown.
Daytona-William jackson.
Kissimmee-Mrs. B. p. Simpson.
Hastings-Charles E. Kettle.

CARDS Henry M. Flagler as the man
who has done most for the State ana
Its people was told today by L. T.
Dewitt. Of Miami, Fla, who is visit
ing in Washington.
EVERY man, woman and child
will regret to hear Of Mr.. Flagler's
Illness" said Mr.. Dewitt. There
are thousands Of men now enjoying
prosperity who would have been
poor all their lives had Il not be-
for Mr.. Flagler. The railroad gives
them the transportation. and with.
out transportation their crops would
have amounted to nothing. Talk
about irrigation In the west. Why.
It would pay any tourist to drop OF
at q number Of places along the
Florida east coast and see the great
number Of drainage schemes under
way. In . few years more winter
will not interfere with the produce
supply for the North, and to Mr..
Elagler is due mcst of the credit for
this development"
