AM I,,us Bsfors the Primary.

The summary suspension Of Mr.. ]. w.
Perkins from the office of solicitor of
the Criminal Court of Record by the
Governor upon malicious and false
charges made by the Executives con-
temptible tools in this county, will be
an issue before the primary, and moth
ing will prevent it, The Record is not
injecting il into the campaign; it is
already there and live one, too.
In his suspension without even an OPP
portunity to defend himself, was not
only an injustice to and a humiliation
Of Mr.. Perkins, but an outrage upon
the honest people Of Volusia county,
the seven or eight hundred who voted
for and elected him with no opposition.
Notwithstanding he had no opposition
he ran ahead of the ticket-a compli-
ment paid him for his sterling worth
and his answering fidelity to duty.
The prompt acquittal Of w. G. Can
mons, the principal in the Orange City
case, by jury, before a judge from
the GOVERNOR home county, prose-
cuted by an appOintee Of the Governor,
assisted by one of the ablest criminal
lawyers of the State; the failure of a
grand jury, after a thorough investiga-
ton, TO find any grounds to sustain the
sion, absolutely and completely exoner-
ates Mr.. Perkins of any of the charges
preferred against him. The Governor
is aware Of the fact, but has shown no
disposition TO renstate the officer he
unjustly suspended.
Now let the Governors nincOmpOOps
of this county, the parties who assisted
the Executive to set aside the will of
the people, go before the Democratic
primary in an attempt to justify their
and the Governors act in suspending
Mr.. Perkins. They will not do it they
dare not do it.
Mr.. Perkins must take his case before
the Senate TO get redress, to have the
odium and humiliation put upon him
and the people who elected him, re-
moved
1t is we'll known that Senator Sans,
who is a candidate for reelection, shares
with Mr.. Perkins and the people of
Volusia this humiliation and outrage
unwarrantedly placed upon them by the
Governor at the behest Of his bench
men in this county, and will DO what
he can, when the case comes up in the
Senate, to right the wrong inflicted
upon Mr.. Perkins and the people who
elected him to the office. - Vousia
