For the Legislature.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Some time ago there appeared in
your paper an article stating that now
is the time for the office (meaning the
leislator's office) to be seeking
the man and not the man the office
l beg to say that the Office has
sought and already found the man.
That man is Mr.. E. l.. Wartmann, of
Citra, who so ably represented Mar
ion county in the last legislature. Per-
haps no man, who ever sat in that
body for only one term, exercised a
larger influence.
If Mr.. Wartmann should be return
ed it is needless to say that he will
exercise a much larger influence than
he did during his first term, for the
reason that he will be more familiar
with the rules and will be better
known and and will have a wider and
more extensive acquaintance.
If Mr.. Wartmann shall consent to
again become a candidate, he win have
very little if any opposition in his
canvass. c. j. D.
