A LITTLE PLAIN TALK

1t is all over now and the lucky ones
are to be congratulated and those
whose political banners are trailing
in the dust Of defeat have our sym

THE PUNTA GoRDA HERALD ON
GlLCHRIST'S VICTORY

It was not really Gilchrists victory;
it was the triumph of truth over false
hood, of political decency and Simon
pure democracy over machine poll
tics, factiOnalism and several other is
sues having no place at all in the
code Of JeffersOnian doctrines.
For this let every true democrat,
every honest patriot, sincerely re
joice.
Gilchrist viii use the powers of his
great Office, not in the interest of
himself or any pet scheme he may
have, not for the benefit of a coterie
of special political or personal favor
ties, but in the interest and for the
benefit of all the people All the pow
ers of his heart and mind will be de-
voted faithfully, honestly, unselfshly
and consciendously to the service of
his beloved state.
Being broad-minded and liberal in
all his views and at the same time
firm and answering in his convictions
Of what is right, he will make the
state one of the best governors it has
ever had.
Like the lamented Governor Perry,
he has no friends to reward. no enc
mics to punish. Notwithstanding the
rancor Of the campaign, the Outrag-
eous vilifcation to which he was sub
jected, his greatness of mind and
heart excludes all malice or resent
ment towards those who opposed him.
He feels sure that a large majority
or those voting against him were act
Uated by conscientious motives and
he respects them for their honesty
and patriotism He will prove to
them that he is the kind of man that
his friends said he was.
His triumph as said in the begin
ming. is not a personal one, but a vic
tory of and by the people in behalf
of good government. and he so re-
CARDS it. Viewing it in this light. he
Will use his utmost endeavors to make
his administration one of which even
his most bitter opponents. as well as
his best friends. will approve as con
ceived and carried out with the sole
view of promoting the best interests
of Florida.
No one. therefore. need feel appre-
Aensive as to what the policies Of the
Gilchrist administration may be. He
declared that he would not deceive to
get votes; that he would not play the
hypocrite. even for the sake of win
ming the high Office, and that he
would not reward the unworthy al the
expense Of the state. As he is man
of his word. and is moved only by the
most laUdable ambition. the people
may rely upon it that he will serve
them faithfully and well and at The
close of his term they viii be glad
TO accord him the plaudits which he
is sure TO deserve.
Finally. every patriotic citizen can
cordially rejoice in The gratifying
fact that Gilchrist's triumph wipes
out factionalism in Florida.-Punta

Secretary Taft, the republican part

Secretary Taft, the republican party
nominee for president, is a Unitarian
in his religious belief. Mr.. Duncan
L. Fletcher, senatorial nominee to
succeed Hon w. II. Milton, likewise
holds to the same belief. 1t was used
against him in some of the counties
in the recent primary. but apparent
ly did him no harm. A mans relig-
ious belief ought to be sacred to him
and ought not to be the subject of pO-
litical detractiOn.

a newspaper can have wonderful
influence in this direction if it per

But, going back to the story told of
the Manufacturers Record, it reads
something like the following:

asked to see was the great French
philosopher Not here" ST. Peter
said, after looking through the list.
