less than 80 per cent of the whole number interested

millions of people that have invested their savings and

that will result to the transportation of the

The eight-hour day without punitive overtime

aggregate of Sixty Millions of Dollars and an increase
Of more than 20 per cent. in the pay of the men,

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in Our respectful judg-
ment, eminently suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency of fair
arbitration and cannot be disposed Of to the public
satisfaction. in any other manner.
The decision of a Commission or Board of Arbi-
traton, having the public confidence, will be accepted
by the public and the social and financial rearrange-
ments made necessary thereby will be undertaken by
the public, but in less deliberate nor orderly
manner.
The railroads of the country cannot under present
conditions this enormous increase in their
expenses. If imposed upon them, it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank
ruptcy and imperil the power of all to maintain
their credit and the integrity of their securities
The immediate increase in COST followed by other
increases that would be inevitable, would substan-
tally appropriate the present purchasing power of
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment to keep
abreast of the demands of the country for efficient
transportation service.

REPUBLICANS
HEARD BY GOOD
SIZED AUDIENCE

Considering the character of the
weather last night, a very fair audi
ehce turned GU to hear the Republic
can speakers. The addresses were
made in the Heron Theater, the plan
to have an open meeting in the Park
having necessarily been abandoned.
me meeting was called to order by
Mr' ). l.. Skipper, who presentde Hon.
fienry w. Bishop, of Eustis, Repub-
llcan nominee for Congress in this dis.
trlct. Mr.. Bishop said this was his
second appearance in Lakeland. and
that he would therefore not ATTEMPT to
make a speech. He made a brief
statement of the reasons why he
should be elected to Congress, the
principal OF which, he said, was be-
cause he could, as Republican work
for and secure protection for Florida
products. At the conclusion of his
remarks, he introduced Hon. George
W. Allen, of Key West, candidate for
Governor.
Mr.. Allen, as he stated, is not an
orator, but he makes good practical
talk, and impresses one with the idea
that he has executive ability and force
OF character. He dwelt at length on
the proposition of boiling which he
seemed to think is the enimently prop
er thing to do. He cited instances
where the leaders, the big guns, of the
parties, such as Bryan and Roosevelt
had departed from the regular organi-
eaton paths, but had later been re-
celved back into the party fold with
open arms, and declared that the rank
and file ought to have the same priv
lleges and not be enslaved by party
law. The moral of all this of course
is that Democrats should disregard
their primary obligation and vote for
iGeorge w. Allen.
Hon John NJ Cheney, who is one
of the ablest men in the State. was
the last speaker. His speech for the
most part dealt with national issues,
and he severely arraigned the Demo
cratic administration, particularly
with reference to the Adamson eight
hour bill and the Mexican policy. He
also touched upon the tariff, which he
declared to be the vital issue between
the Republican and the Democratic
parties, and which directly affects
Florida. He made plea for the cleo
ton of the State ticket, at least two
of the candidates upon which he de-
clared had excellent chances of cleo
ton.
On the stage with the speakers were
Hon. J. L. Skipper candidate for
County Commissioner land Mr.. A. C.
Shaffer, candidate for County Asses
sor. Mr.. Allen made a plea for the
election of Mr.. Skipper, whose ability
and fitness he highly commended.
