BURKE IS BOSS
OF the Fag End of the Democratic
Executive Committee, Which
Met in His Office
Especial to the Starr

Jacksonville, Oct. 3O.-The widely
advertised meeting of the minority
members of the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee was held in this
city Saturday. The committeeman did
not meet in the customary meeting
place of the committee as had been
announced in the published stories,
but gathered in the Cats campaign
headquarters. 1t was indeed a minor
ity meeting. Two members of the
committee and three proxies were
present. Resolutions were adopted
calling for the state committee to rem
der an accounting of the expenditure
of the fund in the hands of the COM
mittee's treasurer. The state COM
mittee will not pay any attention to
the demand. There are ffty-two mem
bers of the committee. At the last
meeting Mr.. Cats was able to muster
eleven votes; at today's meeting,
Ludicrous Demands
Jacksonville, Oct. 30.-Geo. P. Ra-
ney, chairman of the state commit
tee, issued the following statement
regarding the ludicrous demands of
the Minority:
AT the August meeting of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee the accounts of Mr.. R. L. Eaton,
treasurer, were examined, audited
and approved by subcommittee ap-
pointed for that purpose. On Sep
tember 1916, Mr.. Eaton, the treasur-
Ell of the committee, published in the
Tampa Daily Times an itemized state
nent of all receipts and expenditures
from June 18th, 1912 to August II,
1916, showing a cash balance on hand
of $3,264.22. By reason of the fact
that the meeting of the state COM
mittee held on August 7th was the
fourth during the present year, it was
ordered that the actual travelling ex-
penses of each member of the com
mittee in attendance at the last meet
ing should be paid by the treasurer
Some of the members have not yet
availed themselves of this but / pre-
sumo that the cash in the treasury
was reduced several hundred dollars"
+ Section 20 of the Primary Election
Law authorizes the use. of money in
the treasury for the purpose of meet
ing legitimate expenses and main
tanning the party organization and
the state campaign committee will,
of course pay no attention to the ride
ulous demands set for in the resolu-
tions adopted by two members of
the committee and three proxies. At
the next regular meeting the accounts
of the treasurer will of course again

NOT A WOODPECKER

No, Maud, the noise you hear, like
giant woodpecker, pecking on a
metal barn door is not what it seemeth
to be, but the pneumatic riveting ma
chine bradding the heads of the big
half-inch steel rivets in the plates of
the tank on top of the 1856 foot water
tower. There are several thousand OF
these rivets to be BRAIDED. The work
If done with hammers by hand would
be endless. The riveting machine
operates with compressed air, taken
to the top of the tower in a line OF
hose and works like an overgrown
destist's automatic hammer.

Official Report of the Proceeding al

Whereas. the tax assessor has filed

ness) be treated fairly and justly
Only under such conditions can busi-
ness pay living wages or compete
with foreign manufacturers.
| In this respect again the present
administration holds policy entirely
opposite. 1t has viewed business en-
terprise with suspicion, and has made
the government brake to stop the
wheels of legitimate industrial pro-
gress. 1t has treated the business
men of this country as though they
were suspicious characters. 1t has
assumed that capital and labor are
natural enemies. In four years it has
put this country further on the road
to class war than has been accom-
plished in generation before. The
men who stand with me believe in the
honesty of the American working
man, they believe no less in the hon.
esty of the American business man,
and they believe that the common
good is to be found not in class war
but in mutual justice and fair deal
ing, not as between capital and labor
in the abstract but as between men
and men.
You know the road we have travel
ed this last four years. Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Daniels are it's monuments of ex-
ecutive inefficiency. Our murdered and
forsaken citizens in Mexico reveal a
conception of American citizenship
plain enough to see but a new one for
American patriotism to adopt; the
monument of class bitterness raised
by this administration throws sim
lister shadow across our political hor-
izon; the unjust accusation against
business men has left. bitter taste in
our national life. If you prefer this
path it is plainly marked. And the
end of it is class war
You ask what road I propose to
travel? These are the milestones
which mark it-an executive response
BILE to the whole nation, cabinet
chosen from the ablest Americans, a
foreign policy that stands courteously
but firmly for American rights, flag
that protects the American in his law
full rights wherever his legitimate
business may take him, preparation
for trade competition which shall
protect all groups of American work
men, a government oversight of busi-
ness which will fearlessly eliminate
abuses, but will act on the assumption
that the average business man is
honest, and finally a domestic policy
whicn looks to industrial peace, and
to sound and permanent prosperity
based upon the development of Amer
ican trade and the building up of Am
erican industries.
We Americans are in one boat. You
cannot strike blow at our group
without injury to all. Common justice
and fair play will settle our difficult
ties if suspicion and bitterness are let
alone. These are the principles by
which propose to be guided.
