THAT'S THR MAN ron cOVRRNOR.

What Florida should have in her next
Governor is q man Of education sufii-
cient 30 use the English language cor
rectly and address himself intelligently
70 any and all public questions Of state.
A man who has been used TO thought,
study and action along lines Of great
public moment. A man Of mental
power. A man OF public experience.
a man Of absolute moral character and
upriRhtness not only In his own person
but n bis ideals. A man who would
not debase himself nor degrade the
high Office Of Governor, or q lower office
Of any sort by bribery, vote buying,
whlskey treating, OF any other low
down, Stun method Of gaining politi-
cal victory
IN fact, n man who will stand the
peer Of any Governor Of any State In
the Union, whom we ahall not be
ashamed OF or make apologies Tor.
Is there any such man around here Z
Let him stand up and show himself. --

Florida has had some that come
very near, n not quite up, 70 your high
standard, and two Of them are yet liv-
ing, Governors Fleming and BloXham.
The True Democrat believes others
could be furnished We believe Hon.
Fred r Myers, Of this city, or DR.. Il.
y. Grill, would come near what Is sorely
needed IN Florida at this time. We are
sure they would carry dignity to the
Governors office, and no FlOFidian
could or would doubt that either Of
them IL educated sufficiently TO use
the English language correctly and adj

questions Of State, etc They have
the "experisnce and moral character
and uprightness in person and ideals,
and n6 influence In the world could In
duce either Of them to do low or un-
clean thing for political victory Now,
let Florida select one Of the character
you mention IN the list above. Florida

They are good men, perhaps, every one
Of them.
That's just the kind Of man we

LETTER TO THOMAS PERKINS.
Tallahassee, Fla.


Dear Sir: II we sell DeVoe TO paint
your town, your road won't have so
much freight 10 handle.
II takes 10 gallons TO paint fair-size
house, and that house won't want paint
ing again for or 10 years. That's trne
IN a way; but people, you know, rather
like fresh paint, and they paint FOR
nothing but looks sometimes.
That house would take IL or 10 gal
Ions Of almost any other paint than De-
voc, and would have to be painted again
In half that time Ten years is very
long time for paint TO wear; and FIVE
isn't short
Which makes the most freight, 10
or 20-gallon paint or 10 year paint {?
But the l0-gallon paint Is the l0-year
paint; and the 20-gallon paint II the s.
year paint Which makes the most
freight
Ask your paint-dealer which he'd
rather sell, and which he could sell
most OF. Ask your painter which he'd
rather paint; whether good or bad paint
Ia good for his business; which Is good
paint, the 10 or l6-gallon paint; which
pays most freight, and which pays
most wages. Which will you buy your
self. the l0-gallon l0-yeaT, or 20-gallon
S.year, paint?
