"ouR sos".-HE LES LAFFs."

Hon. r. w. Davis home paper, the
Palatks News, says that the
caption to this article is being trifie
overworked by the Florida newspa-
pers, and that it has done and is
doing Mr.. Davis very grave injustice
and he is growing exceedingly weary
tit.
We can readily understand this
to be true, but heg, respectfully, to
suggest that Mr.. Davis is largely
responsible for it and could early and
easily have corrected it if he had seen
proper to have done so.
Mr.. Davis says that to be governor
of Florida is the highest ambition of
his life and he made an announce
ment of his candidacy for this high
office months ago, but, accompanied
his announcement with no declara-
ton of principles-he stands before
the people OF Florida on no platform
except the very ridiculous one Of
"Our Bob"-he ''jes' lsffs f"
The people of Florida do not know
whether MIR. Davis belongs to the
Bryan wing of the democratic party
or is in sympathy with the "reorgan-
iZers.n
1t is not known whether he fsvors
the maintenance of the several little
colleges of the state as charges upon
the state treasury or favOrs their con-
solidation into, say. two institutions
of respectability and strength-one
for the male and the other for the
female youth of the state.
1t is not known whether he thinks
Mr.. WALES was entitled to the full
amount of the compensation his
friends claimed for him or whether
he was sufficiently paid in the sum of
SIS, 900 finally voted to him by the
legislature.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Davis
| is aboard the Stockton or the Talia-
ferro band wagon nor is it known
whether he is sympathy with Frank
Clark or Jim Bars for congress.
Indeed, no one knows how Mr..
Davis stands upon any of the nation
al or state issues and when voter
asks to know where and how he
stands along any of these lines and
thinks that he has a right to know
and ought TO be correctly informed,
the newspapers friendly to Mr.. Davis,
simply reply that
"Our BOb"-he ',jes' laffs."
These newspapers are making Mr..
Davis campaign ridiculous and he
owes it to himself and to his friends
and to the high position he is seeking
to place his campaign on higher
grounds.
He should have q heart to heart
talk with the voters of the state and
take them into his entire confidence.
