ONLY ONE ISSUE IN
AMERICAN POLITICS
New York World

Mr. Taft is mistaken when he sP.!-
that the tariff will be the main issue
in 1916.
The main issue in thai eamp&i- i
has already been defined by Pres''
dent Wilson in two words Amer r
ca first"
Until that question is definitely
settled. nc other issue is important
This country must determine once
and for all whether in its national
aspirations, ideals and sympathies IL
is to be all American or half aieh'
The German vote has forced inns
issue. and the American vote VIII
have to decide it.
In the Twenty-third Congressional
district of New York we have seen
the German votes combine against
& candidate for Congress for no
other reason than that he belonged
to the same political party as the
President of the United States. ID
BROOKLYN. John ]. Fitzgerald, one q
The lblest men in Congress, was
defeated for the office of Justice OF
Supreme Court by German votes
who secretly organized against him
to rebuke the President for upnolu'
ing International law and ..meriod'
rights.
German newspapers, both IN Ger
many and the United States, have
boosted that the elections OF Novem-
Der 2 were, as the Berlin Morgen-
post expresses it, "a heavy moral de-
feat for the President" because Of
his refusal to make the Uhlte1
States a'ylssel Of the German En-
pire.
TIL German ccaapiracy extend
not only to tic President md II
party. but it extends 20 Arericar
industry American finance and t
the fundamental institutions Of ~
American people. This cnas2irac'
works not only through tho ballot
j but through the torch and tae hom'
J and the bullet. 1t is the most 5inist2l

dies five reel Selig Red Seal Play
featuring Harry Messenger, will be
the attraction at the Majestic thea
ter en- Tuesday. This film is an
adaptation. Of the novel of the same
title by Meredith Nicholson, and is
said to be one of the best "surprise"
stories ever filmed. Miss Grace OAR
mond, John Charles, George Backus
and many other we'll known players
appear in the supporting roles. The
plot revolves about an eccentric old
squire who takes unusual means of
forcing his GRANDSON to marry the
girl he wishes him to. The old man
"dies" in the early part of the story,
but in tire last scene he appears as
healthy and happy as any of the 9TH
er characters in the play. How this
occurs is oleverly explained in the
five reels Of action which make up
the Iiln drama.

HON. JEFF BROWNE CORRECTS
STATEMENT OF HIS RECORD

Key West, via, NOV. -, ~ -.
Lakeland telegram: In a recent
issue of your paper you say that
lion. Jeff Browne, of Key West,
will make another try for supreme
court honors in the June primary
Your use of the word "anOther.
gives the impression that Y have at
some time in the past been candl-
date lor this position, which is not
correct, rs this is the first time that
I have ever been a candidate for
position en- the supreme bench.
You also say. "If Mr.. Browne
runs he i, likely to play in his usual
hard luck" That statement is not
justified by the result of my several
contests for State Offices.
When ! ran for senator in the
twenty-fourth senatorial district,
won without opposition in either the
primary or the general election, and
although | had no opponent, my
vote in both instances was greater
than the aggregate for any other
candidates. 4 was elected president
of the Senate at my first session.
When candidate for railroad
commissioner against Mr.. Henry E
Day ] carried every county in the
State hut three, and had an over
whelming majority.
Two years later, | ran for Dem
ocrati, national committeeman fol
Florida. My opponents were two
very able and honorable men, ant
led them both in every county bu
two, and in one of these l had {
plurality over one, and the other
who had been raised in that count.
lead me by only five votes.
| was defeated for governor il
1908, hut when | ran for presiden
tial electGr in 1872, | won easily
thus / have four decided victorie
to my credit to one defeat, and
would be ungratcful indeed to tn
many friends who have voted for m
$ on ali occasions, i | complained o
= one defeat out of five as "haT
: luck " Far from this, however,
5 have nothing but gratitude for an
= appreciation of the support whic
r the Democrats of Florida have al
l. ways given me, and I harbor no un
kind sentiments for my one defeat
n have the qualification of know
r ing itat in my race for governor
e conducted a clean campaign, and
e cherish as among the fOndest mem
cries of my life the pleasure | dc
: rived nom my canvas of the Stat
and the acquaintences and friend

Respectfully yours,

Candidate for Justice of the Suprem

American life since the death OF
slavery and secession, and until II
is disposed of no man can he sure
that the great Republic is more
than a hollow shell.
Mr.. Taft has giyen to the c'untiy
= snlendid and inspiring example OF
,,;sinterested patriotism in his SUP
mort of the Presidents foreign pol
inv since the beginning of the war.
I. is upon men like Mr.. Taft That
the country must depend if this ne"
conperheadism is finally crusnea
rnder the foot of true Americanism.
But until this is done, how Trivial
are questions of tariff or trusts o:
corpor ations, how trivial are all the
issues upon which this generation OF
American voters have hitherto Dee'i

City, where it was accorded a pat
ronage unusual in the history of
farce. "A Pair OF Skies" is present
ed by H. H. Frazee, than whom
there is nc producer more careful
in sending companies upon the road

lar. II you wan. to laugh contin-

We have been waiting patiently
to give somebody else chance to
say Il first. although the big inspira-
tion has Leen surgins in our mind
for months past and it has been
hail to hold it down. 1T is one of
those great Augustan truths shin
ing with such obvious splendor that
the oily wonder is it hadn't hit the
consciousness of the whole nation
likely ncwly-riscn sun. But with
out more talk here it Is from the
Florida Grower, 4 paper that never
takes sides in rolitics and whose
editor is not a Democrat:
II see that Golfers is grooming
old man Root for the next Republic
an nomination Root is one of the
brightest men of his day, with a
mind that is wonderfully keen and
analytical, hut it is my judgment
that there are too many people who
will remember that he was the en-
gineer Of the steam roller three
years ago for him to ever be avail
able as the real white hope of Re-
publicanism There are sores that
heal slowly, and President Wilson
has Gone so we'll and his military
program For the future is so pleas
ing to the masses that at the pres
ent time it looks to me as though
both Republican and Progressive
delegates should meet, endorse him
and 70 home, and I'm not Demo-
crat, either"

Judge Hughes, of the United
States supreme court, is the level
headed man we always thought him
to be. He is the one best bet of the
Republicans for the nomination for
president next year, but he sees the
handwriting on the wall; he knows
with a prcscience shared by millions
of others that Woodrow is slated for
second term, and he has no stom-
ach for the defeat that would surely
spoil his prestige next year if he ac-
copied tn. nomination of his party.
Hence, he tells those Nebraska Re-
publicans to leave his name off their
primary ticket as he is doing

entirely lost his appetite for presi-

We Indignantly resent the sug-
gestion of the Clearwater Sun to the
Tampa Tribune when it says:
Hereafter You work your funny
stuff off on Lakeland" Now what
do You mean by that? The Tribune
had said that sure way for a
stranger TO attract attention in
Clearwater was to call for a ten
cent cigar, and in seeking to repel
the ell-known truth of this state
ment the Sun makes its vicious
sideswipe at an innocent bystander.
The Tribune is too wise to attempt
any such stunt, and if ever Powell
tries it we will convince him that
his sense of humor missed the
mark. There is dignity and
STRENGTH ana beauty in the PERSONAL
ity OF Lakeland, combined with
rare sophistication, that makes
working off funny stuff" on her as
futile as the efforts of rube on

In the matter of the amazing reso-
luton adopted by the Orlando Board
of Trade demanding that Editor
Clarence Woods. oi the Eustis Lake
Region be dismissed in disgrace from
the Florida Press Association be-
cause Of certain opinions he had ex-
pressed and circulated through his
paper concerning he relative merits
of brick and sand asphalt for road
construciio ion in other counties than
his own. ii is pertinent to ask a
question And that question is what
would the Orlando Board of Trade
think oi The Florida Press Associa-
ton if the latter should ask the Or
lando body to kick out one of it's
members because he was persona
non grata to the Florida Press As
ociation! The Orlando Board of
Trade would very properly think
that it was an impudent and I'M
warranted request and that Is just
what the Florida Press Association
would think of the demand made to
dismiss Editor Wood from member,
ship in that body. The Ocala Star
has the right view of the subject
when it says:
1--WE don't approve of Editor
Woods action in regard to the road!
in other counties than his own, bu
we respectfully remind the Orlando
Board of Trade that his member
ship in the Florida Press Association
is none Ct it's business. If Edito
Woods interferes with road or othe
affairs in Marion county. we will
spank him GOOD and hard but W
shan't call on any boards of trad
or press association to hold hir
while the spankine is in progress.
