HE MUST HAVE BEEN
TALKING THRU HIS HAT

Lakeland Telegram: The editor of
Dixie now admits in a letter to the
Ocala Star that he never charged
that Senator Fletcher was a party to
the alleged discovery" of Dixie that
P A. Holt was seeking to secure the
registration of negroes to vote in the
democratic primary. Then why the
terrific hullaballoo in which the
whole state was invited to rise on its
hind legs and roar its disapproval?
The people of Florida have no con-
Stunning interest in the local politics

interested in the senatorial cam

as a pidestaff that it was sought to
injure Senator Fletcher first, by
making it appear that Holt was his
campaign manager, and second that
the senator was to directly benefit by
the negro registration. 1t is now
shown that Holt is not his campaign
manager and Dixie now admits that
it didn't seek to connect him with
Hollis alleged attempt to register ne
gro voters. The episode is ended;

DOZIER LEITNER

Word has been received here OF
the death, in Colorado, of Dozier
Leitner, for some time one of the
prominent citizens of Kissimmee and
engaged in a successful insurance
business. About six months ago Mr.
Leitner's health began to fail, and he
was compelled to surrender his bus
mess and seek for health in other
climes. Since then he has spent
some time in South Florida after
wards going to Colorado, hoping by
this change to stay the ravages of
disease
way to illness, and unable to longer
cope with the inroads of disease, his
young life paid the forfeit. The
body was brought back to Florida for
burial, the funeral services to be
held in Barlow. Rev. J. A. Holt
pastor of the Baptist church of Kis-
simmee will accompany the body
from this place to Barlow. Mr.. Lett
ner was unmarried, and besides his
mother he leaves to mourn his death
one brother and one sister and a host
of friends. -Kissimmee items in the
Tampa Tribune
Mr.. Leitner was a resident of
Ocala for some time several years
ago. He followed his profession as a
dentist in association with Dr. Chace,
and was much liked and respected.
Afterward, he went to South Flor
ida. The friends he made here learn
of his death with great regret

that homeseekers from the west pass

Railway officials reckon that the
majority of these Americans from

a circumstance of that far-reaching
influence to the southern states. In

resources awaits development, every
new settler who is upright and thrift

WOMEN'S POWER IN POLITICS

The national political parties are
face to face with another critical sit
uation, namely: that at the next
presidential election women voters
will probably hold the balance of
power. In an editorial recently the
Washington Star said:
1T is possible for the women of
the nine states in which the full suf-
frage as against one that declares it
self in opposition to it or fails to
adopt a positively favorable attitude.
For in the states where the women
have been enfranchised the women
voters, while not perhaps numerical
ly equal to the men, are neverthe-
less, numerous enough to overrun
the usual partisan majority. This
fact will have an important bearing
upon the outcome of the suffrage
campaigns in Pennsylvania and New
York, which are the next important
backgrounds for the equal suffrage
| cause. If these two states were
added to the suffrage list the wom-
en- would have the vote in states
| controlling 12S electoral votes, or
more than % per cent. 1t is idle to
doubt the ultimate success of wom-
an suffrage throughout the United
States, either by successive state en-
| reimbursement or by the adoption OF
a federal constitutional amendment. -
Illinois should be added to the
nine states where the women have
the suffrage and it doubtless has as
many women voters as in the other
nine combined.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 26.-January
is not supposed to show the high
water mark in production in the au-
tom obile world, but nevertheless the
first month of 1914 shows the larg-
est output of any month in the entire
history of the Ford Motor Company.
During the month Of January this
year, the Ford Motor Company built
and shipped 1896 cars. The largest
months output previous to this was
June, 1913, when the number of
cars made and shipped reached the
total of 22,049.
These figures show how the Ford
business is growing even beyond the
extraordinary proportion it reached
last season To achieve such produc-
ton figures every department and
every executive, in sense, had to
grow too. The Ford plant is con-
stantly adding new machines and de-
vices, constantly testing new sys-
TENS and methods to diminish the
labor, speed up the operations, to
save time, energy and the like. In
this way only can production keep

Mr.. Taft will speak Monday and Mr.

The day was ushered in by two watch
men, dressed in Rappite garb, who awoke
the town with the old cry Of the watch
men of hundred years ago:
again a night is past. The morning Is
come. Our time runs away. The joys OF
heaven are our reward. Awake!
This was followed by the booming of
cannon, the ringing Of bells and the blow
ing of whistles.
Today's program consisted chiefly Of a
procession to the old Rappite cemetery,
where solemn ceremony In memory of
the dead was held and songs sung by a
large delegation from the German Allied
Singing Societies. Most Of the marchers
wore the distinctive garb Of the Rappites
of years ago.
