PALATKANS TO HEAR
PERRY WALL SPEAK
Business Man Candidate For
United States Senate Here
Saturday Night.

Hon. Perry G. Wall of Tampa, the
business man candidate for United
States Senator, will speak in Palatka
Saturday night, April /, at 7:30.
Mr.. Wall will discuss the various
planks in the platform upon which he
is making his race for the Senate and
will also deal with the great ques-
tions of the day which call for the
consideration of Congress. He will
tell his hearers why he is a candidate
for the office and will compare his
qualifications and his platform with
those of his opponents in tilc contest.
The campaign that is being made
by Perry G. Wall is arousing the
kcenest interest in all parts Of the
State. Wherever he has appeared he
has had an attentive and Gpprecia-
tive herring and has made a distinctly
fvorahle impression. The people to
whom he has spoken have been quick
to realize that his candidacy is based
on the high plane of public service
ard that he is injecting into the poll
tics Of Florida something gratifying
" new in its departure from the
hackneyed plea Of the professional
politician.
Mr. Wall makes most interesting
speech, and the citizens of Palatka
and vicinity will undoubtedly turn
out in large numbers to hear him on
Saturday night. His is 4 most en-
gaging personality and he is always
glad to meet citizens of Florida per
sonally and to discuss with them any
questions in which they may be con-
cerned. His platform is appealing to
the sound sense and judgment of the
reople Of the State and his presenta-
ton Of lis case is worthy of the clos
est attention. A special invitation is
extended to the ladies to attend the
meeting. Adv.

ties. 1t was published in the Feb.
ruary number of the Masonic Journal
Mr.. Wilkins had a dollar, so he said
he guessed he'd pay
A little sum he'd borrowed from a

Then Gray he took that dollar, and he
said: 1T seems to me
I'd better pay that little debt l owe to
McAfee";
Then McAfee the dollar paid upon q
bill to Smart;
By Smart twas paid to Thompson,
and by Thompson paid to Hart.
And so that coin kept rolling as a
very busy "plunk,"
Until it paid Indebtedness amounting
in the chunk
To more than forty dollars, and it
may be rolling yet,
And all because this Wilkins thought
he better pay little debt.

THE PREP AREDNESS
PROGRAM

As showing the enormity of tn,
preparedness program of the Inter
ests," and not as President Wilson ad
vocates, we cite the following, writ.
ten by William Jennings Bryan in the
March number of The Commoner:
The taxpayers are now able to
sit in Judgment upon the prepar-
edness program. The army ey-
perts ask for 500 millions for the
first year and 219 millions per
year thereafter. This is for the
army.
The Navy board, according to
Admiral Fletcher (see press dis
patches printed March 9TH asks
for one billion and a half to put
the navy in proper shape, and
then $50 millions per year there
after to keep it up. This is not
for an 'incomparably" greater
navy that will EQUAL any other
navy afloat by 1925, but it is
for a navy to equal other navies
as they are NOW-not as they
will be after we spur them on by
our new policy.
In other words. the Army
board and Navy board now de-
mand that the annual appropria-
tions for army and navy shall be
MORE THAN QUADRUPLED.
and that we shall permanently
spend OVER ONE BILLION
per year on army and navy.
THIS IS MORE THAN TWICE
THE NET INCOME RECEIVED
BY ALL the farmers of the Unit
ed States from all their crops
and yet the jingoes think that
any man who objects to the pro-
gram is a "white-livered cow

Term of Congressman

Orlando Reporter Star: Repre-
sentative Frank Clark has bill be-
fore congress to increase the term OF
the congressman to four years. It
is surprising that such a measure was
not enacted long ago. 1t is certain
that most congressman are in favor
of such change, and if the people
look at it sanelv they also will ap-
nrove it. While it may be argued
that two year term in office is toe
much for some men, we must all agree
that congressman hardly has time
to take good look around him Dur
ING that period, and there is next to
nothing that he can accomplish for
his constituency aside from the petty
fetching and carving which might he
done by any clerk. In this district
we have case in point. Congress
man Sears took his seat in December.
Before he gets it warm he has two
opponents in the field agains. him.
If he remains in Washington his cam
didatorial interests will undoubtedly
suffer, and if he comes to Florida to
make a campaign he will be charged
with neglecting his duties.
