His Pretty City is Named AfterRussias Gloomy BloodStainedCapital-

St Petersburg Independent-

Why St Petersburg Why not Plnellas or Maximo or Gulfbreeze orPalmville or some other name thanthat which Is associated with coldcrime czardom cannons cruelness andcaste

Why should this fair city be bur-dened

with a senseless name whichmeans nothing and burdens us withfalse reports and false alarms

CHOLERA BAD AT ST PETERSBG

Government Threatens to Place CityUnder Martial Law if Municipal

Authorities Fail in Duty

DIED IX IIFTKEX MINUTES-

Two Cases So Virulent that DeathResulted in a Quarter of an Hour

After First Symptoms-

St Petersburg Sept 20St Peters ¬

burg is in the grasp of the Asiaticcholera which already has exceededin severity and numbers the visitationof 1S9I5 The disease Is increasingdaily at an alarming rate and unlessthe authorities show in the future amuch greater degree of ability to copewith the situation than they have inthe past there is every reason to fearthat it will get out of hand

T r-

And the TimesUnion is but one of5000 daily papers of the United Stateswhich publishes matter daily of a StPetersburg date which may or maynot be applied to St Petersburg FlaIn all that long article of which theabove Is the head only one referencewas made wherein one would connectit with Russia and that was the nameof a government official-

If the cholera scourge now raging inRussia had not developed into a mat ¬

ter of international importance thefirst alarm which was sent broadcastwould have worked great injury to ourown city for some paper had datedthe article St Petersburg Fla It isprobable that later reports of the Rus ¬

sian scourge undid the false impres-sions

¬

os the first article At least wehope so-

The report which will be published I

tomorrow by dailies throughout theI

United States will give a furtherclean bill f health

Butdenials

shall we go through ages enter-ing

¬

Why not change the name of StlPetersburg-

Do it now while the city is young-It it grows and grows until it has

40000 or 60000 population which isnot at all impossible the applicationof stories between the St Petersburgof Russia and the St Petersburg ofFlorida will be more applicable thaneven now

There are but two Saint Petersburgin the United Statesone in Floridaand one in Pennsylvania

There Is a Maximo in OhioThere is no ther Pinellas than the

old discarded postoffice in Hillsboroa mile from our present city Eithername would be acceptable to the postoffice dr artment

Either name would have a signifi-cance

¬

lWe believe 95 per cent of the popu ¬

lation would agree on one or the other-of the names

If Mr Bryan Is Elected In November-

HeI

Will Not Stand for Re-

ElectionI

in 1912 I

Detroit Mich Sept 23The mostsensational development in the pres-ent

¬

campaign was the sending yester ¬

day by W J Bryan Democratic can-didate

¬

for President of a telegram toPresident Roosevelt demanding thathe produce proof that Gov Haskell ofOklahoma treasurer of the NationalDemocratic Committee ever was con-nected

¬

with the Standard Oil Com ¬

pany I

Copies of the telegram were given I

out for publication just before MrBran departure for Ann Arbor late

I

in the afternoonI

The journey to Ann Arbor was made-in hi < special car and upon his ar-rival

¬

there he was accorded a cordialgreeting To a gathering of severalthousand poi011 Mr Bryan speakingfrom the balcony of the Cook Housedirected his remarks particularly toyoung men discussing during an hourand a half the tariff the trust ques-tion

¬

the labor question governmentguarantee of bank deposits the Demo-cratic partys attitude on the injunc ¬

tion question and on contempt ofcourt trials and severely criticising I

Judge Taft for his characterization ofthe Democratic platform plank on thisquestion as loosely drawn

Aristocratic Parties Decadent-Mr Bryan aid that in every coun ¬

try in the world there would be foundtwo parties one essentially Democrat-ic

¬

and the other aristocratic And Iwant to impress on the mind of everyyoung man he said that every-where

¬

the Democratic party is thegrowing party mid the aristocraticparty is the dying party The Repub-lican

¬

party in this country he con ¬

tinued manifests several wrong ten-dencies

¬

The Republican administra-tion

¬

is today extravagant Those whocontrol it live in an environment con ¬

trary to economy They are surround-ed

¬

by tax eaters not tax payersAnother wrong tendency in that

party is to interfere with the right ofthe people to a free choice of theirPresident and to permit the bringingof the prestige of a high office to adictation of the successor to the pres ¬

idency I have commended the Presi ¬

dent when I believed his actions tobe for good but I believe that hisattempt to pick out his successor is adangerous precedent You may tellme that in this case you have greatconfidence in the Presidents judgment-but I want to remind you that youcannot defend a monarchy on the I

ground that a king is occasionally agood man And the precedent may

ibe used by a bad President and onceestablished can hardly be resisted I

He declared that a presidential suc-cession

¬

was scarcely less repugnant to I

free institutions than was a life tenureof the presidency m I

Criticised Cannons SwayMr Bryan criticised the despot

rules of the House of Representatives-and aserttd that the republican party I

had chosen rill its Vice presidentialcandidate the man who stood next to I

Speaker Cannon in the enforcement ofthese rules He then discussed theplank in the Democratic platform withregard to injunctions and trials for in-

direct¬

contempt of court quotingJudge Tafts criticism that the plankwas loosely drawn and was an attackon the judicial system

I shall commence today he saidto demand that Mr Taft withdraw

from his position in regard to theseplanks in our platform It is slander-ous

¬

and libelousOne Term Enough-

In the course of his remarks Mr i

Bryan reiterated his pledge that if j

elected he would riot be a candidate-for a second term-

PRODUCE THE PROOF

Bryan Calls on Roosevelt to Substan ¬

tiate His Statement That Has ¬

kell Was Once In the Payof Standard Oil I

Detroit Mich Sept 3The re ¬

markable spectacle of a presidentialcandidate rebuking the chief executive-of

I

the nation for making statementsdeemed to be unjustified was witness-ed

¬

yesterday when W J Bryan in atelegram to President Roosevelt de-fended

¬

Gov Haskell of Oklahomatreasurer of the Democratic XationalCommittee against the charge that hehad unlawful connections with theStandard Oil Company The telegram-is as follows

Hon Theodore Roosevelt President t

of the United StatesDear Sir In a statement given out

by you yesterday and published in thismornings papers you indorse acharge made against Gov Haskell ofOklahoma t othe effect that he was I

once in the employ of the Standard OilCompany and as such employe wasconnected with an attempt to bribe orinfluence Attorney General Mon net ofOhio to dismiss suits pending againstthe Standard Oil Company-

In indorsing this charge you attackthe Democratic party and its candi-date

¬

saying that Goy Haskell standshigh in the councils of Mr Bryan and I

is the treasurer of his national cam ¬

paign committee and you add thatthe publication of this correspondencenot merely justifies in striking fash ¬

ion the action of the administrationbut also casts a curious sidelight on
