CANDIDATE hANLY'S SPEECH

The doings of the Prohibition
party get small space in the news
papers and little attention by the
readers. This is to the disadvan-
tage Of both the newspapers and the
readers when there is available so
we'll composed a document as the
speech of acceptance Of the nomina-
tion for President which was de-
livered by Candidate J. Frank Hanly
at Indianapolis.
Mr.. Hanly touched upon pretty
nearly everything in the political
calendar and he said some rather
pungent things about the Demo-
cratic Administration and its meth
DDS. Among other things he ex-
pressed himself as follows:
We are opposed to the violation, Of
the sovereignty of the Mexican peo-
pie and would countenance no war
Of aggression against them. The
spectacle Of an American army en-
a foreign nation is not ennobling.
No American soldier should have
been landed in Vera Cruz, or per-
mitted to cross the Mexican border.
except with the clear purpose.
law and order and responsible
government there.
And further on he says:
Americanism does not stop at the
Atlantic or the Pacific oceans. but
accepts and believes in the great
world fncf that nan hnya an ami
hilated space and shrunk the earth
that all its peoples are involved In a
common destiny. and that interna-
tional peace and Justice between all
out of that destiny. And knowing
this. and believing In our high re-
sponsibility not only to ourselves,
but to all men. all nations. and all
need be to- the uttermost, to defend
these ideals and effectuate Its as
pirations.
And of our trade relations he de-
clares:
With the return Of peace to Eu-
rope, the struggle for the mastery
will be intense. II new markets are
to be acquired. or even old ones re-
must be established. We cannot con-
tinue forever to sell where we do not
buy. Reciprocity-the reciprocity OF
James @. Blaine and Of William Nc
Kinley-will give us the power to re-
tain the markets We now have and
to acquire others.
Mr.. Hanly was a Republican be-
fore he was a Prohibitionist. II
would appear that now he is Re-
publican as we'll as a Prohibitionist
At any rate, he breaches the same
doctrine and speaks from the same
texts that are making Mr.. Hughes
trip through the West one Of great
joy to his supporters and one OF
great apprehension to the Admin,
istration.

WOULD REPUDIATE
WILSON POLICY
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Agitation in
congress for action warning Ameri-
cans off armed ships of belligerents
grew to such proportions today that
Democrats of the foreign relations
committee voted to canvass the senti-
ment of the house on the several res
olutions of this nature. Sentiment in
the senate also seemed to favor some
action, but at the end of the day of
tension word came that, President Will
SON still is opposed to any action by
congress, believing he would only be
embarrassed thereby in the negoti-
atoms with Germany.
Despite persistent suggestions to-
day that the situation had reached a
point where the government might
define it's attitude in communication
to Senator Stone of the foreigns re-
lations committee, and that the time
fixed when the United States expects
Germany to abandon her intention to
sink armed merchantmen without
warning, it was officially stated to-
night that no final position will be
announced until Berlin is heard from.
All the excitement today was in the
Democratic ranks and a score of con-
gressnen announced they favored
warning Americans, even If IL IN
volved the administration policy if
thereby they thought war could be
averted.
Republican Leader Mann is said to
sympathize with President Wilson.
The president is said to be determined
that all pending negotiations be set
tied shortly. Tomorrow may bring
the German reply, which is expected
to maintain its right to sink armed
ships. Democratic leaders are de-
tern1ined to prevent discussion of
the question tomorrow.

PETITION ASKS
FOR CHARTER
BOARD OF CITY.
Will Be Circulated In City
Asking For Election to
Name Fifteen.
SIGNATURES 90 PER
CT. VOTERS NEEDED
NJ. E. Morey Has Drawn Up
Petitions and Will Place
Them In Stores.

Petitions, asking for an election TO
name a charter board of the city,
will be placed In number of stores
and business places during today.
They will, as the law requires, be adj
dressed to the city commissioners,
and when those behind the movement
secure the signatures of twenty per
cent of the qualified voters of the
city, the petitions will be presented
the commissioners.
Hon, M. E. Morey drew up the Pc
titions yesterday. He said last night
that the idea was to have the cleo
ton at the same time as the general
city election on June 5, so there would
be no extra expense and that besides
the petitions placed in business
houses and other public places sew
eral would be circulated.
The petitions read as follows:
''To the Honorable Board of City
Commissioners, Pensacola, Escam-
bia County, Florida:
1--WE, the undersigned qualified
voters Of the city of Pensacola, Fla,
petition you to call an election for
the purpose of electing a charter
board, composed of fifteen members,
as provided by chapter 6940, laws Of
Florida"
The last legislature passed the
Farriss bill giving to cities the right
to elect charter boards and after do
ing so amend their charters TO suit
the majority, thus obviating the ne
cessity of going to the legislature to
secure amendments. This bin not
only places the matter of charter
amendments in the hands Of the peo-
pie but also relieves the legislature of
lots of work in handling charter
amendments for various cities in the
state. The membership of each char
ter board is fixed by the population
and under this system Pensacola
would have a total Of fifteen mem
bers who would be elected at large.
It is estimated that about four
hundred signatures will be necessary
to the petitions to secure the election,
this being figured on the basis Of
1000 qualified voters within the city
In the 1914 state and county primary
there were total Of 1871 qualified
to vote in city precincts.

New York, Feb. 23.-Four finger

Mrs. Julia Heilner was murdered in
her home in Brooklyn in April, 1915,

eating Joseph F. Hanel, the woman's

Hanel, who was arrested in Balti-
more yesterday, was expected to be

ed he would not fight extradition.
The finger prints on the beer bottle
were compared today with those

police, according to the police experts,
tally exactly. Detectives who have
been on the case declare they place
no value in HanePs confession that
he robbed Mrs. HeiIner, but that a

cation of this story has convinced
them the 'paI" never existed.

jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 23.-Speak-

opening address of his campaign for

committee in prescribing tests to pre-

Senator Bryan declared that it is
his intention to charge Governor
Tranmell with abandoning the du-
ties of his office to further his po-
litical ambitions, with using his ap-
pointive powers to pacify secret po-

Chipley, Feb. 23.-Two interesting
travellers registered at the Chipley
hotel last Friday, Foster and Clark,

phasizing an individuality seldom

lish language appalling to a naere
native whose vocabulary, naturally
limited, reduced to the minimum of
eyes, sab" and "ah don't belong to

Foster and Clark remained at the
Chipley hotel for day, during which
time they entertained house guests
and transients with vivid descriptions
Of their travels. One held a cham
pionship for a pedestrian tour around
the world. He had legged it valiantly
and looked the part. One had written
books, including sTramp Thru
Canada" and was gathering literary
material for another book, under
espionage of "Everybody's.'
Be that as it may, they failed to
'tcheck out" at the Chipley hotel and
hiked il over to the white House, -
also of Chipley.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that the
travellers had left the "White House"
early in the morning also, sans check
ing out sans good bye sans anything
but the soldier-like Exit comprising
their self inflicted baggage.
Messrs. Shivers and White, re-
spective1y of the Chipley and White
hotels, boarded Ford and overlook
the travellers some miles up the rail-
road track doing a marathon to Cot
tondale. They experienced the un-
usual sensation Of speeding backward
on their tie-strewn path, this time
with wheels under them.

Intimates That Combined

Washington, Feb. 23.-Interna-
tional consideration which has caused
the general navy board to advocate
the strongest navy in the world by
1926 instead of second place fleet
as had been the policy since 1903 will
be disclosed in executive session to-
morrow to the house naval commit
tee by Rear Admiral Badger, mem
Der of the board.
When Representative Stephens of
California today asked if the board,
in changing its policy, did not have
in mind the possibility that the coun-
try might face simultaneous enemies
in the Pacific and Atlantic, Badger
said he could only answer in secret
session.
He said however, that strong fleet
in the Pacific is the only protection
there, as slides in the Panama canal
made it impossible to use the canal
for fleet purposes probably for a
year. He expressed the opinion that
should the United States adopt the
two power standard Great Britain
would not alter her rate construction
until the gap between the two fleets
was materially reduced.
The senate army bill to provide the
regular array peace strength at one
hundred and seventy Thousand as
against one hundred and thirty-five
thousand proposed by the house bill
was practically completed by the SEN
ate conittee The war strength of
the regulars will be two hundred and
