On last Friday Judge Cochran
and Elan B. Carlton both adj
dressed the people of Lily at the
school house on the political issues
of the day. Judge Cochran s
speech was well received and we
think he made a very favorable inn
preston and will no doubt poll a
good vote at Lily. On the other
hand Elan Carlton made a most
excellent speech in same though
going to extremes but the people
were not in sympathy with him or
his subject, County Division, but
gave him most respectful hear
ing. We are no admirers OF ELAN
Carlton, but we must admit that
Elan for the most part handled
his subject in a skillful manner
Messrs John Trawick and @. R.
Roberts have erected a new store
building near the bridge on Horse
Creek and have a small, well
selected stock of goods and have
already built up a flourishing trade
and no doubt will do much better
later on. We want to say that
they, Roberts & Trawick, are both
made Of the stuff that succeeds.

The following from the True
Democrat, Of Tallahassee, is good
sound advice that we recommend
to DeSoto county voters
snow, voters of Leon, watch out for
the closing tricks Of the campaign.
There are just few more days left, and
its always towards the close that the jobs
are put up, false charges made too late
for correction, use Of money, whiskey,
etc If you find candidate at any OF
them, set 1t down they are those you
should vote against. Candidates who
have the peoples interest at heart try
only 10 be elected by honest and legal
means. Now, just remember this

he island has always been a con
sentative democrat, and a good one
at that. If every aspirant for
public Office was as conscientious,
fearless, loyal, able and true as
Mr., Appleyard, this campaign
would be composed of the most
honorable set of candidates that
has ever aspired for public Office.
The imputation that he is the
candidate of a clique is one of
those tantalizing things that all
honorable men are compelled to
submit to when they seek to be-
come public officials, but If the
people who are endeavoring to
defeat him will treat him as fair as
lie will treat his opponents they
will Immediately apologize to the
public for the monumental fabn-
cations sent broadcast over this
state for the specific purpose of de-
feating one Of the most able men
in Florida for the position he seeks.

A CLOSING TALK
A0RINST COUNTY DIVISION
FROM NORTH DeSOTO

EDITOR CHAMPION: This is the
last week before the election and
I wish to add a few more lines
against county division
Our Wauchula friends have
thrown out bait to the unthink-
ing guaranteeing" the millage
will not be raised in the county of
Wauchula. They didn't say taxes,
for there is a reason WHYl
Our friend. the Hon. Elan
Carlton, whoops up a 500, 900
court house and Grams it down the
throats of his hearers till he scares
timid men and frightens women
and children at the awful catastro-
phe, BUT HE DOESN'T TELL
YOU THERE ARE TWO WAYS
TO BUILD SUCH A COURT
HOUSE. There is a reason WHY
One is that to build such a court
house the county must bond and
in such case EVERY VOTER IN
DeSOTO COUNTY WOULD BE
A VOICE TO SAY WHETHER
IT SHOULD BE BUILT OR NOT.
In the second place, to build such
court house a two mill tax shall
be levied, and in that case THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
if understand the matter, HAVE
A VOICE, and in that case
EVERY DISTRICT IN THE
COUNTY is REPRESENTED,
Wauchula with the rest.
Do you believe dear reader that
the balance Of the county would
endorse such a move even If Ar
| Cadia wanted II.
Now about the millage. The
Wauchula paper informs us of the
rate of taxes in such counties as
| Alachua, Volusia, Etc, he doesn't
tell you the population OF those
counties or the amount of property
assessed. Nor does he tell you OF
the schools, roads, etc. to support,
he doesn't tell you all this of Man
atee county, which has a less rate
than ours. There is a reason,
WHY?
pay taxes in both Polk and
DeSoto counties. In Polk county
the rate is 20 mills against our 20.
Polk county population is about
thribble DeSoto's and has much
more improved and valuable prop
erty. Polk county, our sister
county, is not given by the divis-
ion people as an illustration. There
is a reason. WHY
II seems to me Wauchula has
had a county commissioner for a
number of years. Our mutual
friend Bostick, now represents
them. Is it possible that he as
one Of the county dads has been
sanctioning this highway robbery
| by Arcadia that we hear so much
talk about. Is there anything in
regard to the county taxes that he
does not approve, and if so l am
sure we would all stand by him for
we consider him one of the worth
lest citizens in DeSoto county.
In conclusion let me say if di-
vision Fgoes" l will take off my
hat and bow cheerfully to the will
of the majority of the people, until
then Join Brother Keck and 'pel-
sist in saying can't see it. :"
