The Palatka Times-Herald 10
a long editorial gives the advice
of a sage to the Florida press,
and creates the impression that
its rights have often been tram
pied upon and its generosity
taken advantage of, when it in
sists that the free advertise
ments of candidates for 81, 900
or $1,000 offices should be
brought to a sudden halt. and
that their puffs should command
the same figures as if they were
merchants after the trade. 1t
claims that after they have
landed in Office, in their desire
to win over enemies they forget
their friends until the next race
and then again resort to that
old familiar slap on the back

many a hard earned dollar with

trict, that / am, or will be candi-
date for congress in the coming
election. BY way Of explanation,
it isN proper for me to say, that at
one time, l did intend making the
race, but my friend, Hon. A. L.
Fox, of Clay, having announced
himself as a candidate for the po-
sition in question, l decline to run
against him. We are citizens OF
the same town, members of the
same bar, and the most cordial re-
lations have always existed be-
tween us, and. for these reasons, |
think my friends will fully justify
me in the course l have adopted.
| am not now or will be a candi-
date for congress in the coming
election. This has been fully un-
derstood between me and Mr. Fox
from the beginning. If | were IN
the race, he would not oppose me,
and | allow no man to be more gen.
erous to me than | am to him. l
am deeply grateful to my friends
for their great kindness in this
matter, and shall always strive to
be worthy of the esteem they have
manifested in their desire to place
me in this exalted position. Mr..
Fox is one of the foremost men of
the State and we'll worthy of any
position in the gift of the people.
and has my unqualified support in
this race.
FRANK A. CRITZ.
In the face of these facts l sub
NIT 1t to you, the people, to decide
whether Mr.. Fox's conduct in thus
entering this race after l have been
in the canvass for several months
is generous or fair.
Mr.. Fox states that recently,
however, there has been such a
general demand from every sec
ton of the state for my candidacy
AS to me amounts to a command
which [ have no right to disre-
gard"
| would like to ask you, each in
dividual voter, If you joined in this
demand or were in any way con-
suited about Mr.. Fox's candidacy.
1t there has been any such demand
from West Point or Clay county,
| have never heard of it. Mr. Fox
in his announcement seems &C. !ilinl
that the public good demaud@ his
services, to which | would reply
that this is matter about which a
man is very easily deceived. AS
to whether or not there is such
general demand for the services of
Mr.. Fox and as to whether or rot
the public good demands his SER
vices at this time, / desire to leave
to the verdict of the people a he
ballot box in the coming primaries.
| have an abiding faith il tbs
justice of the people and believe
they will demand fair play OF taose
who seek position at their hands.

State for their cordial and loyal
suppo and assurances of continu-
ed support, l am,
Very respectfully,

! deem it but justice to myself to
submit to you statement for your
consideration and judgment and |
am willing to trust to your fairness

volyed.
In the early part of 1896 Mr..
Fox and myself were both ayowed
candidates for the position in Con-
gress made vacant by the promo
ton of Hon. H. D. Money to the
Senate. Mr.. Fox came into nv
Office to SO adjust the matter that
we might not be candidates against
each other. After some conversa.
ton / asked him, what method of
adjustment he suggested and he
answered he would leave it 10 me
to say. Thereupon / told him
since he was generous enough to
leaye it to me to say how 1t should
be adjusted, l would withdraw in
his favor. And pursuant to this
agreement published card with
drawing iii his favor. Sometime
afterwards when | was in the legis-
lature at jackson l received a let
ter from Mr.. Fox stating that nv
friends in number of the coun-
ties were still withholding their
support from him with the expec.
tation that | was or would be q
candidate and in this letter from
Mr.. Fox he requested me to write
to my friends notifying them that
| was not in the race. And pursu.
ant to this request from him / pub.

the stable and sheds of Frank
Robinson were demolished and
crushed in upon his horses and
mules. These were not seriously
injured. Many cedar and other
ornamental trees were overturned

The greatest damage was done to
the business houses. The roofs
were torn up and partially blown
away on the houses of Messrs !.

these firms were damaged more or
less, and had to be removed and
protected from the drenching rain
that fell during the storm. The
cemetery was badly injured and
several costly and beautiful monu-
ments were overturned and brok-
en-. The beautiful pavilion in the
center of the cemetery was blown
down and badly wrecked. Our
people living in the track of the

damage was serious, however, and
