THE NEW METHOD IN
CAMPAIGNING FOR BIG JOBS

Shrewd candidates for State and
federal offices who realize that vot-
er bored is voter lost, are begin
ming to put modern engineering
methods into their campaigns and
to make careful preliminary surveys
of the field of action and observing
the various points of vantage and
disadvantage before beginning the
actual constructive work that is TO
win or lose the fight. The candidate
who starts out far in advance OF the
voting and shoots his bolt, reveals
his issues and discloses his argu-
ments and oratory wherever he can
find an audience gets tired of him
self before he is through and labors
under the disadvantage of staleness
and repetition when he goes over the
same ground again later in the cam
paign.
Conspicuous among the State can
didates who have adopted the better
method of first feeling" the situa-
tion by a tactful trip through the
State in which any campaign pur-
pose is fully disclaimed and no eff
fort by oratory or. otherwise is made
to get voters to commit themselves,
is Hon. F. M. Hudson, of Miami,
candidate for governor. He has just
completed swing through large
part of Florida, accompanied by his
family, in which he mingled freely
with great many people who thus
got the opportunity to see the man
and observe his personality without
any of the atmosphere of the candi-
date about him. And it is reason
ably sure that this preliminary sur
vey of the field he expects to enter
as candidate gave him many valua-
BILE pointers and did his candidacy
much more good than harm. Under
the caption, Learning to Know F.
NJ. Hudson" the Miami Metropolis
speaks of his trip as follows:
Probably no better method could
be devised for acquainting prob.
able governor of Florida with tho
everyday, non-political side of the
peoples lives than that which F. M
Hudson has been taking-he ha:
travelled upwards of two thOusanC
miles through the highways and by
ways of Florida, accompanied by hi
family, and has met the people in {
man-to-man sort of way, untinged y.
any of the campaign features of thu
usual prediction itinerary.
'"And he tells his friends in Mi
ami that there is an encouraging
outlook for his success, which i
pleasing indeed to the people of thi
section of Florida where Senate
Hudson is best known and where hi
support will be strong and enthu
siastic.
''In Miami and throughout Dad
county, as we'll as throughout all @
the East Coast country, Senate
Hudson has the confidence and tn
good will Of the people in degre
that would insure his election b
an overwhelming majority did it ex
tend in corresponding strength t
the rest of the State. And from man
signs, it may be concluded that tn
people of Florida generally ar
learning the quality and the abilit
of the man from Miami, and ar
quietly preparing to trust the shi
of state to his good guidance

Letter postage users of the United
States and particularly those who
have large volume of letter mail
are clearly entitled to one-cent
letter rate, and a determined fight
will be made in Congress this winter
to secure it..
C. M. Clayton, cashier of the First
National Bank made the above state
ment yesterday, accompanying it
with the information that the bust
ness men of this city are joining the
ranks of the National One-Cent Let
ter Postage Association, for the ,pur-
pose of securing a one-cent letter
rate.
He declared that already the as
ISOLATION has strong and representa-
| tive memberships in every city and
town throughout the United States,
and that every effort is to be direct
ed toward securing action on a one
cent letter rate at the approaching
session of Congress.
"The time has arrived" he de-
! clared yesterday, when officials at
Washington should take cognizanc &c
of the demand made by the users
of first class letter mail for a read
justment of rates so that ordinary
letters, which are now being charged
two cents each shall be carried a,
cost, or about one cent each.
at has been amply demonstrated
by statistics and actual investigation
that a one-cent letter rate through
out the United States will pay, and
that the extra cent now being de-
manded for the carriage of a letter
is nothing less than a tax
"The United States postoffice de-
partment was primarily organized
for the carriage of letters, and in
the early days the charges made
We're on a basis of actual cost OF
transportation When the depart
ment was organized transportation
difficulties were immense, and a his h
rate had to be charged. Years have
passed. wonderful inventions have
revolutionized the transportation
business and the cost of carriage has
been lowered until now it is known
letters can be carried at one cent in
stead of at two cents, which is the
present charge.
Mechanically the United States
postoffice department is about the
most perfect working machine there
is in the business world. When you
consign letter to the postoffice, yo,
have almost definite assurance that
it will reach it's destination. On the
other hand, the methods used for de-

Truly there is no limit to the crop

We regret to note the recent death
of Major s. A. Jonas, editor of the
Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner, who
died in his home town Sept. 10.
Major Jones was the man who won
enduring fame by writing on the
back of a Confederate treasury note
Just after the war that celebrated
poem beginning Representing moth
ing on Gods earth now and naught
in the waters below" Others have
claimed the authorship, but Jonas
wrote the poem beyond all question
and it is a Chassis in verse that will
live forever. Major Jonas was an
unblemished type of that much
abused, much caricatured and much
misrepresented person known as the
Southern gentleman of the old
school. He didn't wear long hair nor
swear great oaths, nor brag, nor
buster, nor say nor do any of those
things men of his type are so often
made to say and do on the stage anu
in unfriendly literature. On the con-
trary, he was quiet, modest, unob-
trusive gentleman, wise, thoughtful,
markedly refined in speech and &C
ton, deeply read in books and men,
broadly tolerant and with a heart
full of kindness and charity for all
mankind. In addition he was the
best country editor in Mississippi
and doubtless no mans life was ever
lived that was freer from reproach
than his. His memory deserves to
live, for the example of such life
is a treasure whose value is beyond
measurement.

Jefferson, Iowa.-T the Editor:
In a recent issue correspondent

sympathy with his position This is

of the quail's usefulness to the agri-

1t is passing strange that the re-
suits of the investigation of the bio
logical survey of the department Of
agriculture and the generous distri-
button of it's bulletins has not yet i'm
pressed upon the minds of farmers
the indisputable fact that all birds,
almost without exception, are by far
more useful than harmful to the ag-
riculturist. And that it is greatly to
their interest to protect them as in
dustrious workers, destroying in sur
prising quantities of noxious weed
seeds and injurious insects at a mini
mum wage.
Equally strange is the absurd no
ton that an act of the legislature
per Sc will cure all ills from sore

ground. Bird protection needs no

fully alive to their, own interests,
