LET OTHERS SPEAK.
The Palalka News has for several
weeks been devoting a large share of ils
editorial space to a discussion of the
proposed amendment to Article XIX of
the state constitution, which, if adopted,
will forever outlaw the beverage liquor
(the saloon) business in Florida.
It has also made it plain to all readers
of this paper that the entire campaign
against the adoption of this amendment
was organized, and is being paid for,
by the liquor interests of the slate,
whose manager is Pleasant A. Holt, one
of the most astute and unscrupulous poli
tician in the state, and who has not
hesitated to violate the laws of Florida
by paying the poll taxes ot dissolute
negroes that they may assist in carrying
the election against the amendment.
This week the News will give ils
readers some samples of what other
Florida editors arc saying about this
campaign of debauchery by the Jackson
ville whisky bunch.
The press and people in all parts of
the stale are aroused as they have not
been in years since 1876.
The intelligent negro, the man w ho
goes to the tax collector and pays his
own poll tax, has had a free, unopposed
ballot in Florida for years. There has
been and could be no objection to him,
and he knows it. But when the liquor
dealers of Jacksonville band together
and determine to make the negro the
balance of power in Florida, by paying
the poll taxes of thousands of the most
dissolute, degraded members of that
race, why, we know thai THE
DEMOCRATS WHO TOOK A HAND
IN REDEEMING FLORIDA FROM
CARPET-BAG AND NEGRO RULE
IN 1876, WILL ALSO TAKE A VERY
ACTIVE HAND IN SAVING IT
FROM WHISKY AND NEGRO RILE
IN 1910.
And assisting these old time democrats
and their sons will be the thousands of
white men who have come to the stale
since the days of its redemption.
Read what Frank Walpole of the
Manitee Record says regarding "The
Last Straw." Read the other press edi
torials by true and tried Democratic
editors men whose "SILENCE" can't
even be bought.
Hon. T. A. Jennings of Pensacola,
whom the Times-Union announced as
present and taking part in the recent
great (?) local (liquor) option convention
and who was elected a vice-president of
the association, was not present, but at
the lime, was touring Michigan in an
automobile. But the Times-Union need
ed the names of SOME men well know n
in the slate. R. B. Porter, representa
tive from Jefferson county, whose name
was also used, wrote the Times-Union a
correction, which it finally printed in
small type and placed in such an incon
spicuous place that few saw it. Judge J.
W. Perkins of DcLand, who was in
Jacksonville on legal business, was told
when he went to pay his bill at the
Aragon hotel, that the "Convention
Committee" had paid it. The Judge
indignantly refused to have it so, and
paid his own bill, stating that he was
not a delegate, and was not in attend
ance upon the meeting. Sheriff Lewis
of Jackson county, who was in Jackson
ville on business, was promptly put down
as a delegate, and his name published.
Sheriff Lewis told a reporter for the
Florida Journal that he was not a dele
gate, and that he was for stale-wide pro
hibition. But misrepresentation has ever
been the policy of the Times Union, if
by so doing it could cam ils money.
The Times-Union has published a let
ter purporting to have been written by
Jefferson Davis, in which the late Pres
ident of the Confederacy opposes pro
hibition. It was only a few weeks ago
thai several of the stale papers printed a
letter, claimed by some one, to have
been written by Christ. There is no
evidence to show that the letter pub
lished as coming from Mr. Davis is not
just as much of a "fake" as the one cred
ited to the Savior. No proof is needed
to put the latter in the "fake" class.
And the fact that there is nothing in the
official writings of Mr. Davis to confirm
the authenticily of this ami prohibition
letter, will be enough to convince the
average reader that it is also a "fake."
The News also received a printed copy
of the Jefferson Davis letter. It was
sent us by a COMMITTEE OF LIQUOR
DEALERS who are personally interest
ed in the defeat of prohibition. But the
Times Union has been proved to be a
"fake" promoter to the satisfaction of
the people of Florida, who will hesitate
before accepting the Jefferson Davis let
ter as authentic because of its source
the liquor interests of the United Stales
speaking through their official Florida
mouth piece, the Times-Union.
The Last Straw
From the Manatee Record.
The local optionlsls held a conven
tion last week in Jacksonville. If one is
to believe the published reports a big
crowd was on hand, and why shouldn't
there have been, when, it is said, the
coin for each delegate's expenses was
put up by the whiskey interests of the
slate; and again, why shouldn't the
whiskey interests put up the expense
money? The success of local option
directly benefits them, and Pleasant
Holt, the general manager, is smooth
enough to know that it was necessary to
put up the coin to get the crowd, hi nrc
we don't doubt for a minute but ihnt
each delegate's expenses was paid.
This much we do know: that it was the
plan to defray each delegate's expenses,
for it wis put up to ut that way. We
can see nothing particularly wrong j
about this, because we feel that the ,
whiskey interests, being directly bene
fitted, should bear the burden of ex
pense of the campaign. It is enough
for the delegates to add reseclabilily to
the cause. However, the editor,
although a local optionist, didn't bite,
notwithstanding he was urged to be
come a delegate and an cxecutiveman,
and was told great prominence would
be given him throughout the state and
his picture published in numerous pa
pers, to sny nothing of future political
prelerment.
All this and more was put up to the
editor, hence we naturally conclude
that the same story was told others.
The picture gallery, prepared before the
convention met, and published simulta
neously in the large dailies in the stale,
at least carry out this idea. We must
admit, however, that we were a Utile
disappointed in the picture end of the
scheme, which was lacked on to give
respectability to the cause. We were
told that Ex Governor Bloxham's pic
ture would be there, also Supreme Court
Justice Parkhill would furnish his photo,
but they didn't appear, doubtless for the
same reason that the editor's didn't ap
pear that he was a local optionist from
an entirely different standpoint not to
boost or stand sponsor for the saloons,
but solely because he honestly didn't
believe statewide prohibition would or
could accomplish anything more than
local option. In other words, the edi
tor is a local optionist in the interest of
temperance, and we believe it worth
more to the cause of real temperance
than slate-wide prohibition as national
laws now stand. But the saddest thing
done at the convention was when they
went down in Marion county and got
good old "Uncle" Henry Long, gray
haired and loitering on the brink of the
grave, to come up to Jacksonville and
accept the chairmanship of a conven
tion paid for by the whiskey interests.
This is the straw that breaks the camel's
back and puts the editor of The Record
squarely on the side of stale-wide pro
hibition. Pleas. Holt, you have gone too
far.
The Recent Local Option Convention
From the Kloridian.
The most interesting feature of the
meeting of these "gentlemen of singular
purity" however, has been omitted from
any of the accounts we have been able
lo find. It is being told all over Jack
sonville, though, and ought to find a
place in SOME chronicle of the times,
so as not to be lost entirely to posterity.
We give it in the words of the man who
told us:
"The meeting was called to order and
all the preliminaries gone through in
proper shape. Nominations were made
for Chairman and eventually, as the
stale has been told, Mr. II. W. Long was
elected. Then there occurred a scene
that should bring tears to the eyes of
any who had believed that gratitude
was a virtue gone out of existence, be
ing conclusive proof that gratitude is
still a plant most tenderly nurtured in
the bosoms of these various "gentlemen
of singular purity," for, as of one accord
and with one voice, the entire Conven
tion rose in its places, and offered a
vote of thanks to Mr. Pleasant A. Holt,
for his kindness in paying their transpor
tation from and to their homes, and
their hotel bills while in the city.
(N. B.) The only part of this story
that we know to be true is that Mr.
Holt DID pay the bills for transportation
and hotels, and if he was NOT publicly
thanked by the "gentlemen of singular
purity" he ought to have been. For
confirmation of this we refer any inter
ested inquirer to Mr. II. C. Griffin of
Dade City, Mr. Griffin was approached
by an "outsider" and taunted with being
the "guest" of Mr. Holt. He replied,
"Well, it was all right for them lo offer
lo pay my expenses; I travel on a pass."
"But your hotel bill is also paid" pur
sued the interrogator. This Mr. Griffin
denied. "Well, without asking any
more questions, or leaving my seat here
while YOU do," went on his tormentor,
"I'll bet you what you like that if you
will walk up to that desk, (Ihe conver
sation occurred in the Aragon Hotel)
and say that you arc a delegate to this
Convention and want to know what
your bill is, you'll find it has been paid."
"Taken," said Mr. Griffin, and went off
to get confirmation of his own state
ment. In a moment he was back, crest
fallen. "They said Ihere was no bill"
he announced in a "Chase-ned" tone.
And that brings us to the Hon. Frank
Chase, Duval County's representative in
Ihe Legislature. Said one of the curious
to Mr. Chase, "Say, Frank, now did you
fix it? Did you buy mileage books and
distribute them? Or authorize the agents
al various stations to furnish tickets, or
what? Tell us how you fixed it." Mr.
Chase grinned a rather sickly grin, stuck
his hands in his pockets and slowly
spoke: "I don't reckon its any use to
lie to YOU, so I'll tell you. It don't
make any difference HOW we fixed it,
but we FIXED it."
When the Convention had adjourned
and a large number of Ihe "gentlemen
of singular purity" had returned lo their
homes, a few of the choice and leading
"spirits" decided to celebrate the suc
cess of their efforts to "save Article 1)
of the Constitution of the State of Flori
da," and incidentally to put the Stale in
Ihe hands of the Whiskey Trust, with
Ihe negro voters they have qualified
holding the balance of power. Of
course the celebration had lo be some
thing unique and truly representative
of the occasion, and pursuant to this
idea there was seen, late that night,
moving joyously, if not hilariously,
through the Red Light District, of which
Ward street is the most noted thorough
fare, a magnificent parade of the deni
zens of that district, and at their head,
steadly and dignified, but thoroughly
enjoving the situation, THE MAYOR
OF JACKSONVILLE, a "soiled dove"
hanging to each arm, while not far be
hind and similarly escorted, came the
handsome and able presiding officer of
the Convention of "gentlemen of singu
lar purity " Mr. William Himes Price's
law partner, Hon. Amos Lewis of
Marianna.
The Liquor Dealer's Circus.
Krom Live Oak democrat.
Down at that Jacksonville convention
last week of the "local oplionists," as
Ihcy call themselves with fine uncon
scious humor, the voice was the voice
of Jacob, but the hand was Ihe hand of
Esau. We were deeply impressed with
the beautiful array of pictures of t'le
gentlemen so nobly and unselfishly con
secrated to the great work of saving
"personal liberty" and the "sacred right
of local self-government," to the dear
people of Florida, as printed in the
Times-Union and other temperance or
cans. and we admit that those gentle
men arc prominent and reputable cili-i
zens not engaged in the liquor traffic. I
But behind each face in that lovely art
gallery it was not difficult in imagination i
to see the grim mug of the liquor dealer
himself, the chief party in interest, lo I
perpetuate whose traffic in Florida that j
Jacksonville convention was called, no
matter how cunningly that purpose was
sought to be veiled under the specious
phrases of local sell government and
personal liberty. Mr. Liquor Dealer
was entirely too smart to put in an actual
appearance in the convention or lift his
voice in its proceedings, for that would
have been "a dead giveaway," and at
once made the issue sharp and clear of
the liquor traffic, bald, naked and de
fiant, against all the better element of
society. He kept In the background,
but Ihe circus was his and he was quite
w illing to waive any parade of his per
sonality in view of the substantial bene
fit that might accrue to him if the people
could be made to swallow the cant and
tommyrot about the sacred right of local
self-government promulgated by his
convention.
Two to One For Amendment.
From B rait ford County Telegraph.
From Ihe best information the Tele"
graph has been able to gather Bradford
county will give the prohibition consti
tutional amendment a majority of almut
two to one. Pretty much everybody
who voted for prohibition under the
county option law will vote for state
wide prohibition and a great many per
sons w ho voted against county prohibi
tion will vote for state prohibition.
Bradford may be counted on to do her
part.
The Uiue A Meaaure and Not Men
From the OeSoto County Xewe. -
The contest is over an amendment to
the slate constitution only that and
nothing more.
The issue involved is recognized of
tremendous importance to the state, and
lo ils every interest.
The liquor traffic is already outlawed
in over Ihirty-four of Ihe forty-six coun
ties. If the amendment fail, the saloons
continue their deadly work, not only in
Ihe wet counties, but to every other
county to which they ship and sell.
If Ihe amendment passes, the liquor
traffic becomes an outlaw all over the
stale.
Pass the law and Florida no longer
becomes the refuge and dumping ground
for the crowd outlawed in Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina.
Pass the amendment and the several
counties will have no more county op
tion contests. It will be a matter of
law- enforcement, without the backing
of blind tigers by rich and powerful
liquor and business aggregations in Jack
sonville, Tampa, Pensacola and other
wet counties.
Pass the amendment, and we make
prohibition the permanent and slate
wide policy of the commonwealth. Sub
sequent legislatures, elected by the
liquor interests of America, cannot
change the policy.
Defeat the amendment and the same
liquor forces now crying "local option,"
will organize to extend the wet terri
tory aud make the whole map license
and black.
The leaders have been chosen. For
months Ihe liquor men have followed
the plans and lead of one "Picas A.
Holt." That he is shrewd and unscrup
ulous as to means, no one denies. He is
ihe gencral-in-chicf of all the wet forces.
He is still at the helm. His brain is di
recting the campaign. He wrote the
Price letter, photographed in the Flori
dian, showing he was helping to elect
the legislature. He has qualified venal
negroes to help defeat the amendment
regardless of law and democracy.
The Iue Clearly Stated
Krom Brooksville Southern Argus.
Why do they try to cover up the issues
with misleading verbiage? In plain En
glish, Ihe contest is between prohibition
and Ihe saloon, between the dry and the
wet, between temperance and drunken
ness, and between the prosperity of Ihe
many, the whole people, and the few,
the saloon keepers temperance and vir
tue on one side, drunkenness and vice
on the other. These are the great op
posing primary principles, all others are
secondary and not germane lo the pres
ent campaign. Local option, local self
government and personal liberty are
only brought in to muddy the water,
like a cuttle fish, lo mislead voters and
cause them to vole against the principles
of their higher and better nature.
Are you tor the amendment
and state-wide prohibition, which means
stale-wide sobriety, or against the amend
ment and in favor of stale-wide intem
perance? This is the issue stripped to
the skin. It is up to you and your con
science, Mr. Voter.
USEFULNESS.
It is a great satisfaction at the
close of life to feel that you have
lived not for yourself alone, but that
you have been useful lo others.
You may be assured also that the
same feeling is a source of comfort
and happiness at any period of life.
Nothing in this world is so good as
usefulness. It tends to the improve
ment of your own character.

Florida Christian Endeavor.
It is a fine "call to arms" in temper
ance battle in the last Palalka News, so
vividly given. May the exhortation go
home to many hearts and wake up many
slothful minds of so-called Christian
citizens.
Stale President Linn has recently is
sued another of his excellent official
bulletins. In this message strong refer
ence is made to the Prohibition ques
tion now up before both old and young
Christians.
The State Union will soon have for
circulation a song leaflet containing
some temperance hymns and the Chris
tian Endeavor Song, "Florida for
Christ," and "W'c are Florida's Juniors."
Mr. Linn in St. Petersburg is pushing
the publication of this leaflet and it is
hoped that all our societies will make
good use of it in coming months.
Rev. E. J. Young of Bartow wrote us
recently about the possible organization
of a Presbyterian society in his church.
Literature and information asked for was
sent to him from our office, and now
we arc waiting to hear of results. There
has been no Endeavor society in Bartow
(and some other towns) for several years,
most of the young people belonging to
denominational organizations.
District convention time is almost
here! The first will be a rally held on
Oct. 19th in Stuart, far down the East
Coast for that section of the State. Mrs.
C. S. Hancy of the entertaining place is
assisting the district president, Miss
Clarke, of West Palm Beach, who is
making a nice program for ihe occasion.
It has been a very long time since an
Endeavor convention or rally has met as
far south as Stuart.
' Southwestern district meets in the
Palm Avenue Presbyterian church in
Tampa, Oct. 29-31., of which Ex-Stale
Pres. Winnard is paslor. the secretary
of this district is Miss Aurora L. Miller,
in Ruskin, and State leader Alexander
Linn is president of Southwestern.
There will probably be a convention
or rally for the Northern end of East
Coast district in the vicinity of DcLand
later this fall.
Lake and Sumter district meets at
Tavarcs, in November. David Coffin,
secretary is busy planning for the event.
For Orange and Osceola district En
deavorers the convention place is the
beautiful college town, Winter Park,
and the meeting is to be held in Novem
ber. Northeastern district is anticipating its
annual meeting to be held in November
al Jacksonville, the societies of the
Local Union joining in entertainment,
though the sessions will probably be
held in Ihe 1st Christian church. If
these planncd-for conventions all suc
ceed it should put Christian Endeavor
on a higher level than ever before in
the history of the State L'nion.
The proposed Prohibition Amend
ment is lo be the war cry for each C. E.
gathering this fall. And now before
Oct. 8th we should try to get all the
voters possible to qualify if not already
having done so. After this step keep
encouraging the doubtful ones to vote
right when November 8th comes. We
can also help by gelling the church
members to throw their influence more
strongly among the weaker brethern.
We can help by doing all we can for Ihe
Stale Anti-Saloon League and Stale W.
C. T. U., and by aiding in making suc
cessful visits to our local towns of such
visitors as the famous "Slelson Quar
telle," and Miss Taylor with the helpful
Alcohol exhibit of Ihe W. C. T. U.
Olhcr good temperance lectures will

even the Junior Endeavorers can do if
we work "heartily" as unto the Lord."
