Many papers last week contain
ed picture of Hon. d. G. Gillett,
president of the Tampa Board of
Trade, and accompanying the
picture were expressions of de-
served commentator for Mr..
Gillett's unselfsh and successful
efforts in behalf of the interests
not only of Tampa, but of all
South Florida. This unanimous
and well merited boost for him
moves us to inquire, what office is
he seeking? There are two at
Tallahassee, for which he is well
qualified; and if he wants either
of them, he can get plenty of
newspaper support.

Col, Stovall of the Tampa Tri-
bune, couldn't wait until Monday
to publish his cogitations, and so
he inserted some of them in his
Saturday paper. Amongst the
best of them were the following:
The State press is right in agree
ing that the State Committee
isn't. Reported that Villa has
married again, which shows that
he doesn't care a rap how much
trouble he has. Some of the can
didates seem to be having a hard
time thinking out just what they
think about those resolutions.

THE German government has made

Women Voters Have at
Last Hit Upon the Plan
That Will Bring Results

| With the knowledge that one-third OF
the votes necessary to elect the next
president are cast by the suffrage states,
the voting women of the west will enter
politics by creating the Woman's party
which will have in its platform but one
plank, the passage of the Susan b. An
thony federal amendment which enfran-
chises all women irrespective of race,
creed or color.
The policy of the Woman's party will
be to hold the party in power respon-
sible for the passage of the amendment,
and the whip they hold over the Demo-
Gratis is that unless they pass the amend
ment before next November, they will
vote against their candidate for presi-
dent.
Four million women are now enfran-
chised which is number not to be over
looked or set aside with jocular remarks
Mr.. Roosevelt considered it of enough
Importance to assure the suffragists that
he was "for it.
The organization behind this party is
the Congressional Union with headquar-
tiers in Washington, which has worked
for several years to educate the voting
women of the west to a realization OF
their responsibility and power toward
helping their unenfranchised sisters OF
the east, and organizing them into
whole for the creation of this party.
When the amendment is finally passed,
the Woman's party will 60 out of exist
ence and each woman will again be free
to vote as she pleases.
Unless the present congress passes the
amendment, the voting women say that
thew will do to the Democratic party
what the Progressives did to the Repub-
licans in 1912.

This is a blow to militarism, as such,
but leaves free the American man or
youth to live up to his highest concep-
ton of loyalty and patriotism, be it mill

duty which is his, from desire not COM
