and in which they were OveTthrown
and the state delivered To the control
of the Corruption Party 10y your ac-
ceptance of the office of senator"
When Mr. Mallory was elected To
the office Of United States senator
there was contest between the Chip
ley and anti Chipley forces.
The anti-Chipley forces were led 10y
Senator Call in person.
They were under his tutilege and
instruction.
Senator Call then denounced the
Chipley followers a. the "COrruption |
Faction" within the democratic party. /
After repeated ballots Senator Call |
lacked one or more votes of all cleo
ton and finally Senator MallOry's /
name was substituted in place of
Senator Calls and he was elected.
The same arguments, the same in
/ tluences, the same votes that were
/ back of Senator Call were back Of
Senator Mallory.

pies of the democratic party" being

been OverthrOwn under the brilliant
aud persistent leadership of Senator
Call how was it possible for these
"principIes" to have "been over
thrown and "the state delivered into
the control Of the Corruption party"

election rendered him by the Call a
faction of the party? !

of Representative Frank Pope follow d
ing Mr.. MallOry's election.

was a Floridian because in Senator N
election it could he an -

is impossible for any man to buy his 4
way into the United States senate 4
from Florida. 4
The election of Mr. Mallory to the 4
United States senate did not cost him q
he expenditure of dollar. 4
This being true, what becomes Of y
Calls charge that in Mr.. &
Nall RVS election to the United States 4
enate "the vital principles Of the Z
party were overthrow e
