Democratic campaign managers
are trying to evade the charge that
under democratic administrations the
control of the important committees
is in the hands of members from
the south. They acknowledge that
the important chairmanships are
held by southern members, but as
sert that a majority of the members
are northerners, They are silent
on the fact that safe majority OF
each important committee is demo-
cratic and that a majority of the
democratic members are from the
south, so that by holding a demo-

the democratic membership, they
can control the entire committee.
Take. for instance, the house com
mittee on rules, which holds almost
absolute control over the vital ques-
tion whether any important bill shall
have consideration at all. That
committee has eleven members, Of
whom seven are democratic and four
republicans. The seven democrats

which had bewilCt2el' him since he
had regained his senses. He had just
to why he had not been shot after the
fight in the Office and left there.
The reason that the spies had taken
him prisoner and carried him away
was that he had shown that he had
learned certain of their secrets. If
they had killed him or left him in the
office building their act would have
operated only to direct more attention
toward that office, and they would
have lost all opportunity to trace
through him the location of the fault
in their chain of secret agents. With
Jim prisoner and in their power they
could force from him-or apparently
they were determined to try to force
from him-what he knew about them
and how he learned 1t, so that they
might mend their chain where it was
broken or at least take precautions
against the break bringing greater
danger to them Till they could dis
cover where the fault was it was plain
that they must move with extreme
caution and at too great risk.
Jim's teeth clenched and his hands
strained as he recognized this situa-
ton. Bole brought to his lips the glass

Jim caught a loop of the rope which

Among the evidence offered by the
Cattites that Knott had some of the
ballot boxes in Madison county stuffed
is the testimony of one Cats sup
porter, who was an Inspector of cleo
ton, that after counting the votes he
put the ballots loosely and in disorder
back in the box, and that when he box
was opened for the recount the bal
lots were laid neatly in order. Now,
we all know the reputation of the
good people of that part of Florida.
They are fine folks and not given to
sin, but they do not consider stufing
ballot boxes a sin. They are like the
pirate captain who kept a copy of the
ten commandmentsswith those against
murder and stealing marked out,
tackled up on his cabin wall. They are
not in least amateurs in the art of
manipulating ballots. If one of Mr..
Knots friends had opened that box
and found the ballots in disorder, he
would have put them back just like
he found them. It is much more likely
that one of Cats friends opened the
box and carefully arranged the tickets
in order to create the impression that
some adherent of the other side had
been tampering with them.

The yarn told by Candidate Cats,
to the effect that the school authori-
ties of Pensacola, at the instigation
of the Catholics, prohibited singing
hymns and offering prayers in the
public schools of that city, and which
was proven lie by dispatch from
the city attorney of Pensacola to the
Palatka Times-Herald, was told by
Mr.. Cats in his first speech here dur
ing the campaign. The old Latin pro-
verb says: "Falsus in uno, falsus in
omnibus" A funny thing about this
matter is that there has been such
regulations introduced in the schools
in some northern cities, but they were
aimed against Catholics and not
against Protestants. In many dis
tricts of cities with large Catholic
populations, both teachers and pupils
being of that church the religious ex-
ercises at the opening of school were
naturally of Catholic turn. This
aggrieved the Protestants and in
many schools in the big cities they
have had all religious observances cut
out. 1t is hardly necessary to remind
our people that in the schools of Mar
ion county all the hymns sung are
from Protestant hymn books, the
Protestant Bible is exclusively used
and all prayers are offered by Protest
ants, and this is done without any OPP
position or comment from the Cath
olics, Jews and non-church members
who pay a large proportion of the
taxes that keep up the schools. All
these people have got along together
very well ever since we had any
schools, and will continue to do so un-
less incendiaries like Cats succeed in
setting them against each other

Oklahoma City, Dec. 15.-Following
up his statement Of yesterday TO the
effect that he would attempt TO push
through the coming Legislature a bill
for the creation Of state market COM
mission, State Representative Paul
Nesbitt, of McAlester, today declared
it was up to the producer to take hold
and make the suggested plan a sue
cess.
If the bill is enacted into law, the
producer must standardize his product,
and make it as nearly perfect as pos
sible. "The man who is permitted to
ship through the state organization
must obey rules relative to growing,
cleaning, grading and packing or he
cannot partake of the privileges of the
state organization. In other words
we are going to say to the producer,
"The state is going to assist you in
getting your products to market, but
We cannot market inferior products
so you will have to prepare your pro
ducts as we direct so that we canmeet
thte competition of the world
He referred in particular to the
Ozark country. "They have not awak
ened yet to the new age of marketing,
continued Nesbitt 'They are begin
Mug, but as a whole the Ozark eoun
try is asleep. They don't prune and
cultivate their orchards as they should
They don't spray as they should, and
as a result they are producing inferior
fruit-so inferior in quality and infe
rior packing and marketing that the
Pacific coast producers are selling
fruit almost under the shers Of tn,
