not one did not regard himself as an

lbOvc Joined us when we first entered

Even when sober he boasted of his
inc ancestry and, after he had liquor
,d up, it seemed hard for him to
cave that theme long at time. If
ne were not allawcd to boast of his
ancestors, he would not have had any
thing else to boast of, except his sue.
cess in marrying A rich wife-and
ne did boast Of that when hi, talking
machinery had gotten limbcred up.
HIS wife located him at the club and
tried to get him to come home 70 din
ner: He would draw affcctionatc
nothlngs to her over the phone and
ten her he was having an important
business conference, but would be
home shortly. Then he would come to
rs, suggest throwing poker dice for
another round of drinks and dcprc
catingly tell us how fond his poor
wife was Of him. The same thing
happened at supper time. They say
I'm vino vcritas." That may be so,
but, beyond doubt, what is in a mans
heart comes Off his tongue when Ii.
auor controls that tongue. Late in
the evening he confessed he thought
he had rather lowered himself by
marrying a rlcbian, even though she
was wealthy.

to South Carolina politics. Except
ing the friend who had taken me to

an intelligent conception of the po-

issues, determined their views. The
Tillmanites were unuttcrablc, not be-

cause they were not Of the class of
the speakers. They admitted that
there were some men of fine family
prominent in the Tilman movement,
but not one of them was given credit
for sincerity. The undivided iudg-

the principle and such men were bit
terly denounced as class leaders.

why he did not go into politics, and
he expressed the opinion thaht at that
time he did not think gentleman

Carolina unless he sided with the

How Dade Vote Elected
Hayes To Presidency

Its lucky thing for Woodrow Will
son that Dade county has progressed
to such a remal kable extent during
the last thirty years, for if conditions
were the same in this county as they
were in 1876 there is possibility that
Wilson would be boaXed out of few
Florida electoral votes, just as Sam
iel j. Tilden was in the memorable
race with Rutherford Hayes, when
Hayes received 1876 electoral votes and
Tilden 1884, Old residents of this Sec
ton remember that 1876 battle, and
can still tell of how a kerosene lamp,
falling off the table of the Dade coun-
ty voting place, scattered the ballots
to the four winds, and of how the
steps that followed gave republican
candidate sufficient votes to elect him
president, from democratic county
In 1876, when Hayes and Tilden
staged such a remarkably close race,
luSIc was OI1y OliC NotlDS pioSC Al
Dade county, and that was near Mi
ami or Mama, as it was called then.
This place was on the Michael Zaris
property, near the w. B. Ogden place
northeast of the city. The Hayes-Til-
den race was closer than the Wilson
Hughes race, but where it took days
to decide the outcome of the 1916 race
it took months to decide who won in
1S76-and in 1876 it was Dade coun-
ty that caused all the trouble.
Evan Recalls History
Colonel j. w Evan voted in Dade
county in 1876, and tells an interest
ing tale of just how this county kept
the whole world on the anxious seat
for three months. w. II. Gleason was
the Hayes manager in Dade county at
that time. Mr.. Gleason was also
county clerk, assessor, collector, no.
tary public and general poobah of the
whole vicinity There were only a
few votes in the one Dade county pre-
cinct. but it so happened that the race
was so close that the Dade votes
swung the whole deal
In the evening of election day in
November, 1876, kerosene lamp on
a table in the local voting place was
knocked from the table No one is
able to swear what caused the lamp
to fall, but some of the old timers
knowing that Mr.. Gleason had some
thing to do with everything in the
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-11-21

county, were of the opinion that he
naturally had something to do with
the lamp However, the fall Of the
lamp caused the ballots to be scat.
tered to the four winds of heaven, and
when things were cleared up, the bal
lots were missing.
All the time that the clerks and in
spectors in Dade county were trying
to figure out what should be done the
people of the county were waiting on
the local returns, because they were
NEEDED to decide the close race. Mr.
Gleason made a trip or two to the
capital-and it was slow travel with
out railroads. He was finally dele
gated to get affidavits from Dade coun
ty voters as to how they voted, and
after weeks of delay he arrived and
did so. Colonel Evan tells of how
Gleason got seven affidavits from men
WIN NOtSu lOI I1dyCo. Dul uoh
know what he did with the Tilden
affidavits," said Colonel Evan. The
seven Hayes votes were finally taken
to the capital were entered for Hayes
and Florida's vote went to the repub
lican candidate. The local votes gave
him 1876 electoral votes, while Tilder
had only 1874, and Hayes was declared
elected.
Dade county got great deal of no
toriety out of the Hayes-Tilden mix
up. But although the Wilson-Hughes
race was an exceptionally close one
the democrats carried the county solid
this year-and there were no Gleasons
or KEROSENE lamps to bring the coun
ty into prominence again.
