Last Night's Play.
''The Girl From Rector's" played to
a small audience at the opera housw
last with, with Dorothea Sadlier and
Charles Walton In the leading roles.
The play was variously received, being
filled with unusual situations. The.
piece had its Initial offering in New
Jersey and was brought to Weber's
Music Hall simply for a metropolitan
try-out but its success was so gret, it
continued an uninterrupted run of
three hundred nights and played to the
biggest business in the history of the
house.
The story of "The Girl" Is that of a
young society woman of Battle Creek,
Michigan, who is Interested in every
charity there. For recreation, however,
she goes to New York and through oc
casional visits to Rector's earns the
title. When she returns suddenly to
her home she finds many of her metro
politan friends there, and entangle
ments ensue which are not explained
until just before the fall of the curtain
on the last act.

Patti Rosa.
Patti Rosa, daughter of the late
famous little actress of that name, is
leading support with the Lyman
twins brothers In their new musical
production, "The Prize Winners," which
will be here Jan. 27. When asked how
long she had been on the road she re
plied, "as long as J can remember,
with the exception of my years ai
school in the convent at Kankakee, In.
Ydu see, I was a little girl." she said,
"when mama toured through here in
Bob. 'Zip,' A Girl's Way, 'Little Miss
Dixie,' and her other successes. In h ;r
company at that time was Joe Caw
thorn, now one of our leading come
dians, George Boniface, Jr., later fa
mous In the Broadhurst farces." When
the subject of her mother's famou
collection of emblems which were noted
all over the country ai. that time, was
brought up, the younger Patti said.
"Yes. I have them all and am as prou'i
of them as a:iy king could he of his
crown."
"Here is one have always treas
ured," she raid, fondling. a, abeautifui
gold star, with an elk head set witu
diamond eyes. "It is from the Dallas
Lodge, No. 71, B. P. O. E., of which
mama was an honorary member. Be
sides this, I have these." she said,
opening her trunk and bringing forth
half a dozen more beautiful badges
and lockets which she placed on her
dressing table. "This large one is
from Denver," she said, pointing to u
large, handsome elk emblem with a
solid gold bar from which hung a gold
plate on which a large elk head was
mounted, and placed upright between
the antlers stood a miniature gold
banjo with head of pearl and gold
strings. "The other elk badge there is
from Portland. Ore. You see the little
Bible with the motto of the lodge -vrit-ten
on each page.

The Political Methods of W.
Exposed to the Democratic
In the Times-Union of Jan. IP, and
in many other papers, and also by
thousands of circulars. Mr. Blount
makes certain charges asalnst me
which savor more of mud-slinging than
anything that lias been said about him.
The charges are in the form of quo
tions. which I herewith answer, fully
and completely.
THE JIM CROW LAW AGAIN.
Mr. Blount says that I charged him
with inserting in the Jim Crow law an
amendment for the purpose of making
the law unconstitutional because he
was attorney for the Pcnsacola. Elec
tric Company. Those who read the
advertisement appearing in the Times
Union on January 1 will readily see
that Mr. Blount has misstated the
facts. The advertisement "ont.ains cita
tions from the records of the senate
and the supreme court, and no fact set
out has been denied by Mr. P.lount.
He has gone over the state claiming
to be a great lawyer, and the purpose
of the advertisement was to show that
being a great lawyer, he failed to dis
cover thai an amendment Introduced
by him was unconstitutional. I ex
pected him to make a simple and di
rect answer to a simple and direct
question. Instead of manfully admit
ting that he did not know the amend
ment introduced by him would render
the law unconstitutional, he evades the
question by making an attack on me.
and on my deceased brother, who de
fended this law in the supreme court
because his oath of office demanded
that of him. 1 might add. for Mr.
Blount's information, that his argu
ment in the supreme court was devoted
to an effort to separate this section,
introduced by Mr. Blount, from the
balance of the bill, so as to cause the
separation of the races in street cars.
It cannot possibly make any difference
whether Mr. Blount is the, author of
the amendment; the question is, that
the amendment introduced by him, a
great constitutional lawyer, rendered
an act unconstitutional, and to the In
telligent reader that fact will stand out,
despite his effort to cloud it in a maze
of countercharges and side issues.
all beholders, but I have rend thou
sands, yes thousands of plays, and 1
can 'number the good ones on my
fingers. I bought my new play, 'The
Woman He Married.' simply from read
ing it, and perceiving in it a deal oi
truth, underlying theories advanced m
its lines. And it is the truth that the
theatre-going public want now-a-daya.
In the last act of my new play, there
is an explanation of the truth, which
all are not able to perceive. The wife
who has borne abuse and neglect and
degradation from her husband opens
her arms and takes him back. I have
had women resent this last sacrifice,
and they to some extent condemn the
play because of it. Now to my mind,
it is a most consistent act. and to
every woman who sees it. it is the
great point in the play. Every good
woman and few indeed are the women
who have not a spark of wonderful di
vine goodness in them, loves her man
with a love that is big and unselfish
and purely natural. It would be as
unnatural for a woman who loves a
man to cast' him off for his sins against
her, as it would be for a mother to
turn her erring child from her door?
She can't do it. Her heart roaches out
in forgiveness and the bigger the heart
the greater the forgiveness."
Miss Harried is announced as one ot
the early bookings at the opera hous
one night, Friday. Feb. 3rd, and her
engagement here is being looked for
ward to as one of the most interesting
attractions of. the present season.
"T;e Firing Line."
At the opera' house on Feb. IS the at
traction will be "The Tiring Line.'' a
dramatization by Richard Walton Tnlly
of Robert W. Chambers's celebrated
novel. This promises t be one of the
i interesting theatrical events of the sea
! son and is eagerly looked forward to by
theatre-goers and book lovers as it will
be the first dramatized version pre
sented of any of Mr. Chambers's books.

HIS CHARGE OF MUD SLINGING.
The only charges that have bec-i
m?rlc against Mr. Blount consist ot
citations of and excerpts from public
records of the State of Florida. These
"eharg"S- wore tirst published in the
Times-Union of January 1, 1911, nine
days before t h primary. They had
been made on the stump long before.
I know th:it Mr. Blount hnd seen the
published charges by Tuesday, January
because he undertook to answer
them at the Duval Theatre, in Jackson
ville. He now says that they were
eleventh-hour charges. and that he dirt
not have an opportunity to answer
them. Notwithstanding all this. Mr.
Blount did publish, in a great many of
the weekly newspapers, a reply as long
as the charges themselves, accusing me
of. mud-slinging and stating that
charges had been made against him
which he did not have time to answer.
AVhy could he. not have answered the
charges as easily as he could write ano
publish this advertisement, which ap
peared 1n the same papers with the
charges?
MR. BLOUNT'S ABSENCE FROM
THE SENATE.
The senate journal of 1905, at the
bottom of page 321. contains the fol
lowing: "Mr. Blount asked to be ex
cused until Tuesday next. Thu request
was granted." Thi was on Friday,
April 28. 1903. At the end of the sps
i sion of that day the senate adjourned
j until Monday. May 1. On Monday,
j May 1, Mr. Blount was not present
j (see page 32S). On Tuesday. May 2.
! AT ri tnt ifu mil nrfvent 4 a d-
S3S). On Wednesday, May ?, Mr.
Blount was not present (see page 346).
Mr. Blount was present on Thursday,
May 4. Thl? is what the record shows.
Will Mr. Blount deny the truthfulness
iof the record? In addition he was ab-
sent other days, but the argument is
directed to this particular absence be
cause the records of the United States
court for the Northern District of Flor
ida show that on April 29. 1905. Mr.
Blount filed a bill in that court seeking
to enjoin the enforcement of an or

ducing freight rates. I argued that

,.ra::c- to h apartment and found the
case for th railroad commission j
against Mr. Blount, who represented j
the L. & N. I challenge, liir.t to deny
tliat these records ere properly ituoted.
This has been the published charge,
although Mr. Blount would have you
beliexe otherwise. He says that I have !
charged that he was absent eiehteeh
days and devoted most of that time to I
enjoining the railroad commission from
enforcnig a 0-e-nt rate over the L.
N. railroad. No such charge has ever
been made. Pur Mr. Blount's informa
tion, I will state that he can find, on
page 42R of the twenty-fourth volume
of Florida supreme court reports, his
argument for the 5-cer;t rate over that
railroad. That h-ts been the charge,
and Is the only charge, as to passenger
rates. He denies any responsibility for
the present 4-cent rate, and I accept
his denial, notwithstanding the fact
that his name is signed to the bill for
injunction which was granted in Aprii,
1903, by Judge Don Pardee, who re
quired a bond to protect the people in
the "enormous" sum of $2,."00.
L. & N. IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Mr. Blount wishes to know what
proof I have that the L. &- N. railroad
is in this campaign. The best evi
dence is the fact that Mr. Blount, who
has been their attorney for twenty-six
years, is a candidate for United States
Senator. I have not- charge 1 that the
L. N. railroad had contributed to
Mr. Blount's campaign fund, and it waa
unnecessary for him to deny something
that had not been charged. I do chargn
that most of the officers and attorney
of the L. & N. railroad are supporting
Mr. Blount actively, and not only the
officers and attorneys of that railroad,
but the officers and attorneys of other
railroads for instance, Mr. Peter O.
Knight of the Seaboard Air Line at
Tampa. If Mr. Blount wants the evi
dence of this he can see It in my
office. Also supporting him Is Mr. Frea
T. Myers of Tallahassee, attorney for
the Georgia, Florida and Alabama rail
road. In which Mr. Blount's friend, Mr.
T. A. Jennings, is interested, or was a
short time ago.

CONCLUSION.
Ii, c.in. lusion, T call the attention of
those on whom Mr. Blount bns Imposed
the duty of reading hin charges, and
my answers, to this fact: I have not
made any new charges. I have not
made, any charges not had ed up by
sufficient proof. I do not propose to
mane any new charges. Every charge
that has been made was made on the
stump many times before being pub
lished in the Times-Union on January
1. I am endeavoring to confine this
campaign to the real issue. Involved,
which is: "Shall the Corporations and
Vested Interests Control Our Politics."
and Mr. Blount Is adopting a method
much in vogue among his kind, tu
cloud the issue by making count r
(harges. He must realize that the
people who repudiated corporate dom-
tnation or J- lortoa pontic inst .mno are
becoming aroused and will repudiate
him on January 31. He sees the ava
lanche in front of him. and is availing
himself of any method that may occur
to him, or to those who advocate him,
to stop it. He no doubt has ample
funds to circulato the unfair and un
dignified advertisement to which this 1
an answer, and he realizes that. I am
' unable financially to give th answer
;the same publicity. But I believe I can
! depend upon the patriotic voterof the
Estate, who cannot be Intimidated, nor
i bought, nor fooled, to rebuke such"
methods, and to remember that by their
votes on January 31 they will afcoose
between a representative of conUrate
land vested interests and a representa
tive of the people.
