Senator Fletcher made his first
speech in Florida during the present
campaign at Fellowship, in Marion
county, yesterday. But Mr.. Fletcher
never made the slightest reference to
his candidacy. He addressed an au-
dience Of farmers and school children
and he talked to them about agricul-
ture and education. He made no
silly boasts, INDUCED in no ridiculous
promises, refrained from self-lauda-
ton. What contrast between this
modest gentleman and his loud,
mouthed, coarse-grained opponent.

The compromise was viewed as

Wood Disputes Claims.
Gen. Leonard Woods supporters,
however, were ready today to dispute
his claim. In the first place, they
pointed out. the letter is four years old
and conditions have greatly changed
since then, and second. they argued,
Roosevelt said that of the men in
public life Johnson was the one with
whom he was in closest sympathy.
Wood was not in public life, but that
did not mean that he and Roosevelt
were not in close sympathy, the Wood
supporters pointed out.
johnson is now setting out on the
windup of his pre-primary campaign
in the Dakotas. After canvassing the
treaty situation in the senate, johnson
decided to proceed with his campaign
on the assumption that "the worst
would happen and the treaty would
be ratified. He is, therefore, prepared
to tell his audiences that so far as he
is concerned that treaty ratification
will not remove the pact from the
campaign and that he will fight for
