JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September 49,
With Democratic leaders declaring
that there will be slight detection from
the accustomed maiorities in November,
there is yet information offered on
many sides in Florida that disgruntled
and easily led members of the party
are being worked upon by the Repub-
lican emiSSarieS and are nervous and
diSquieted. Evidences of underground
propaganda are everywhere and among
the most pronounced demonstrations Is
the appearance in the mail Of thousands
of copies of an alleged newspaper"
bearing the imprint Of small town in
North Carolina and filled with attacks
upon Gov. Smith
Since the appearance her of DR..
Straton, the noise of Smith opposition
has increased, but there also is evidence
of new acceSsions to the Democratic
fly. The regular" Republican party
has opened an Office in Jacksonville,
but is not yet making any visible effort
to muster forces. It was claimed day
or two ago that no money had been
sent to pay expenses, but this did not
apparently worry the men and women
in charge. The placing Of nominees OF
the Republicans on the ballot for Sena-
tor, governor and State Offices is not
regarded as anything more than a
gesture. They will probably get the
usual 20 per cent of the total vote,
although effort is being made TO bring
out the Democratic strength at the No
vember election-instead of the usual
so per cent as compared with the vote
on the Democratic primary. Registra-
ton in Florida is the heaviest evel
known and it is understood to include
many women.

and proved true. The revelation is
made in The Outlook, national
weekly magazine, in its issue of Oct.
81.
Governor Alvan T. Fuller, who
sent Nicola Sacco and Yanzetti to
their death in the electric chair
August %, 1928, has been asked by
The Outlook to inspect the affi-
davits and proof.
Sacco and Vanzetti, when arrested
in Brockton May 5, 1920, were ac-
cused not only of committing the
South Braintree murder holdup, for
which they were electrocuted, but
also the Bridgewater attempted
holdup. Sacco established clear
alibi, but Vanzetti was tried and
convicted. Thus he entered his joint
trial with Sacco on the South Brain
tree murder charge as convicted
man, with Is years sentence hang
ing over him. The same judge, Web
ster Thayer, who tried Vanzetti in
the first case, presided over the
second.
Both Proved Innocent.
Jack Callahan, newspaper man
who Is years ago deserted the UNDER
world, is responsible for obtaining
the confession of Frank Silva, a one
time professional holdup man and
the affidavit of Jimmy Mede, in
1917 owner of cigar, bootblaek and
taxi-stand in Hanover St., Boston,
a rendezvous for criminals. Mede's
affidavit backs up Silva's confession
in every detail Both are free men.
Every fact in Silva's confession has
been proved by Callahan and other
Outlook investigators, resulting in
the magazines complete assurance
that Vanzetti was innocent.
Thus the most dramatic labor case
in American history since the Chi
cago Haymarket anarchists were
hanged in 1887, enters final stage.
1t remains now for the real Grim
inals in the South Braintree murder
to confess, in order to vindicate the
