Generalities are without value.
Blanket criticism is worthless.
What we desire to know, what it
is fair that the electorate should
know, are the exact details of
your disagreement with Presi-
dent Wilson. What has he done
that you would not have done,
and what has he failed to do
that you would have done or
propose to do? Honesty and
patriotism demand that you put
yourself upon record in such
manner as TO permit people to
/ Judge you as they are now able
to Judge President Wilson. For
example:
Would you have filed in
slant protest against the invas-
ion of Belgium and backed up
that protest with the United
States Navy?
PIT is arrant nonsense to talk
about action that would have
prevented the Lusitania tragedy.
The vague advertisement did
not appear until shortly before
the hour of sailing. The occur
renee was one of those things
that civilization has made the
world regard as incredible. The
only honest question is this.
Would you have made the dis
aster the subject of diplomatic
negotiations or would you have
broken relations with Germany
at once?
3-Would you have urged
upon Congress an embargo upon
the shipment of munitions to the
Allies?
Would you urge universal
compulsory military service?
5-You are frank in stating
that Huerta's morals were of no
concern to America. Does this
mean that you would have
recognized Huerta?
Gas matters stand to-day,
would you be in favor of inter-
vening in Mexico?
Does your attack upon the
Wilson shipping bill mean that
you are in favor of ship sub
sides?
s. You speak enthusiastically
of the rights of the worker. Does
this imply that you endorse the
Clayton thrust Law and the
Seaman's Bill? Or will you urge
their repeal?
9---What are your specific
complaints against the Federal
Reserve Law?
10---As Governor of New York.
you opposed the Income Tax
Amendment. Does this antagon-
ism persist? Do you or do you
not believe in paying for prepar-
edness out of a tax on incomes,
inheritance and munitions?

BRYAN IN 1920

The dinner announced to be given
Dec. 8 at Washington, compliment
tary to William Jennings Bryan,
promises to be of more than ordin-
airy interest to the general public.
The dinner will be given by the
National Democrats, and President
Wilson and the Democratic members
of the House Of Representatives and
Senate will be included in the list of
guests,
The particular significance of the
occasion is that at that time Colonel
Bryan is expected to define his posi-
tion in regard to the announcement
made by him in his various speeches
recently that he intended to devote
mis- time to working for National
Prohibition.
While speaking in the interests of
the Democratic party in the recent
national campaign, Col. Bryan ev-
erywhere spoke for prohibition, al
though doubts were expressed by
many as to the wisdom of such a
course.
Those favoring national prohibi
, ton. of course think these speeches
aided in securing the victory for the
Democrats, while Others are of the
opinion that Wilson's majority
would have been greater had they
not been made.
At Denver, Col, few days after
the national election, Col. Bryan
said: Prohibition is sweeping the
country. 1t will be a presidential
campaign issue in 1920 if a consti.

WHAT IS NEWS?

The Lakeland Advertiser, in the
following timely article, admirably
expresses the views of reputable
newspaper men everywhere, as well
as the great mass of the American
reading public:
Just what constitutes legitimate
news is a subject that is open to
question and the success of a news
paper largely depends on the ability
of the man in charge to distinguish
between matters that are of general
public interest and legitimate sub
jects for public discussion and mat
tiers that are solely personal and as
such are not of real interest to the
public except in as far as they pam
der to a morbid curiosity that
amounts to nothing but meddle-
some prying into purely personal af-
fairs. No public service is rendered
III airing scandals, no moral uplift
is given the community by dragging
into the public gaze the purely per.
scnal affairs of any person or fam
lily. The genial, public-spirited
newspaper man recognizes this prin-
ciple and be it said to- the credit of
the fraternity at large that as a
class they are a clean-cut set of real
gentlemen, and live largely by the
golden rule, doing unto others as
they would others should do unto
them. The press of Florida is, as a
whole, to be congratulated on the
high plane on which it is conducted
and can well afford to be contemp-
tucusly silent when they are as
sailed by scandal-loving muck-rak-
ers who have no sense of the COM
mon decencies of life and who, in
hope of thereby gaining a few dirty
dollars, combined with longins
i for notoriety are willing to dras
themselves through the slime Of
scandal whether it be real or the off
spring of their own filthy minds, ant
who have no regard for the truth a,
truth. They are a blot on journal
ism and a positive detriment to thu
community unfortunate enough Il
have them as soicurners.

The many friends of Mrs. Timothy
Alderman were shocked to learn of
the death, which occurred at her
home on Reynolds street, west about

FLORIDA coNFEREN OF
THE METHODIST CHURCH

Seventy-thrd Session Will Be Held
In OcaIa Next Week With Over
200 Ministers in Attendance
Cd. B. Sweat

The seventy-third session of the
Florida annual conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, South. to
convene in Ocala on Wednesday, De-
cember 6. is looked forward to with
peculiar interest by the hosts of Wes-
lev. both in the state and out of it.
It is doubtful if the little handful OF
preachers who composed the first con-
ference held at Tallahassee in 1S45,
when Bishop Johua Soule presided,
looked forward to that historic gath
ering with keener interest than the
200 preachers regard the approaching
session of the conference. The Flor
ida conference was organized in the
same year in which the first general
conference of the Southern Methodist
church was held.
Ocala is to entertain with the usual
hospitality. DR.. j. G. Gross, the pas
tor-host, is one of the popular preach
ers of this conference. The commit

THE RUTHERFORD
GREATER SHOWS

Conjured like an enchanted palace,
seemingly out of the depths of the
earth, the giant canvas pavilions
which house the Rutherford Greater
Shows, stretched their great white
way at the fair grounds today, wanted
nothing more than the music of the
bands, the organs, the bark of the
concessioneers, and the chug-chug of
the motor demonds. -
The booths of the concessioners
ranged the groud today. Hot dog
sandwiches, peanuts, chromatic lem
onade, teddy hears, snookiookum dolls,
popcorn and confetti, and all the re-
quirements that go to make up a
genuine fair. Weird and wild were
the shouts and shrieks of the hawkers
in their attempts to catch the atten-
ton of the public and dispose of their
wares. Strong voiced, they maintain
ed an ascendency.
Fifteen big attractions make up the
ensemble of the Rutherford Shows,
comprising the new and astounding
Coney Island $4,000 Whip, the mys-
tifying submarine, Simpsons Southern
| Songsters, in what is claimed to be the
best plantation show ever seen in
Florida; Daredevil Watkins, assisted
| by Mrs. Watkins and Buck Taylor in
automobile races in the drome 80 feet
wide and 45 feet deep. DR.. Osler's
Ten-in- One show exhibiting some OF
the greatest wonders of the world;
Lenoor McCurdy's realistic days of
'49 Camp" Evelyn Brooks, greatest OF
all illusions, "That Spider Girl" Carl
Luther's World of Wonders, including
the half monkey, half girl, freaks OF
nature, DeAmmon's Musical Comedy
and last, but not least, Curtis old
fashioned one-ring circus and wild an
imal exhibition, including Harry
Shields goat and school of trained
monkeys.
The shows open up for business at
10 a. m. tomorrow. Ed. R. Salter, who
last visited these parts as manager OF
the late Stuart Robson, is the publicity
impressario for Col. Rutherford.
