the active work now being done will
swing the district into the Smith
column on April 20.
Already there is disposition on
the part of the Palmer followers
to refrain from backing up their
claims with financial arguments. It
became known here today that sew
eral wagers of 500 each offered by
the supporters of Senator Smith have
been declined by some of the most
>, belligerent and active members Of
the Palmer contingent. Many old
heads among the local politicians
are letting it be known that they
would not be averse to backing their
judgment in terms of currency, and
their offers thus far hove not been
accepted by the opponents of Sena-
tor Smith.
That the senior senator immeasur=
ably strengthened his position by
his recent speech here is the unnan-
imous opinion of his campaign lead
ers. Even his bitterest opponents
concede that he advanced his cause
substantially, winning over to his
side men who have never before
been counted as among his support
ers. The situation since his appear

friends say.

other speakers will deliver campaign

AT GAINESVILLE.

Several thousand people went to

to appear on account of an attack Of

undecided, he said, whether Mr.. Fai
mer would speak in Americas Thurs

this enga cement also. The Savannah

Palmer's friends hope to have him
speak there later.

audience at the auditorium Tuesday
night by Eugene r. Black, who stated

news OF Mr.. Palmers illness was re-
ceived with expressions of regret by

ANTWERP, June 25 (by Associated Press) The Belgian Olympic Games, Committee is endeavOring to arrange for special trains, bearing spectators, to steam along the banks of the Brus- sols Maritime canal during the pro- gress of the rowing of the Seventh Olympiad.
 While the contour of the lands ahout Trois Fontaines, the village se- } lected as the starting point and at Marley, the finish, provides something of a natural amphitheater for spec tators, the committees would like to utilize railway tracks for observation trains similar to those run at the Poughkeepsie and New London regat- ta in America.
 The rowing events, all 2,00O meter races, are to be held August 27 to August 29 and will include souls, Hdouble sculled bots without cOxWaine, pair-ored boats with coxWain, four pared boats and eight cared boats with coxwain. All the boats are to have outriggers.
 That part of the canal selected for the race is about kilometers from Antwerp and there is very little cur rent.
