The manifesto issued by the Duval ath.
lctic club seems TO mean business From
the way 1t reads one might iudge that ar
rangemcnts are complete for the fight.
II is addressed TO the public and says
that Attorney General Lamar, speaking
for himself and the governor of Florida,
having declared In letter to the In
ter-Occan at Chicago, that the Corbctt
Mitchell contest will not take place In
Florida. II is proper that we inform the
public that neither the Encouragement
nor the governor Possesses any judicial
powers. and to add that the states oili-
GERS, acting under the direction of the
chief executive. have refused to allow
any judicial determination by the courts
Of the .nw, which, u is claimed, the con-
test will violate, and to that end they
have originated the prosecution for the
purpose Of testing the law to be dis
missed; and we further say that the
chief executive Of the state, possessing
the constitutional prrrogntiye of asking
the opinion of the highest judicial tri-
bunal Of the state as to the construction
Of the statute, has declined 10 do so in
this case. The public is hereby assured
that the contest will positively take pace
as advertised: that no plans have been
formed nor steps taken land none will
bel by either the governor or the attnr-
ney-general To stop the contest, and tick
cts can be bought with perfect confidence
that 1t will take place under the con
tract assigned II is signed by Harry
Mason, the clubs president
