their bodies were insensate mechan-

Caesar before the advent of the Chris

The delay in the paving of ouI

DEMOCRATS OF ESCAMBIA COUNTY
Pensacola. ia. Oct. s1. 1905.

Pensacola, Fla, Oct 81, 1908.
To the Voters of Escambia County:
Having been nominated by the
white Democratic voters of the county
of my birth for the responsible posi-
ton of represe NATIVE in the legisla-
tIlre of my native state, l consider 1t
meet and proper that / should at this
time issue a statement of my views on
ssfch questions of Importance to my
people as will probably be dealt with
by the legislature of 1909, to the end
that YOU may be fully cogniZant of
what I stand for AMI what to expect
of me in the probable event of my sue
cess at the polls on Tuesday next.
First-Shan the white people rule?
The essential and overshadowing
ISSUE in this campaign between our
Republican opponents and my running
mate, Mr.. c. l.. Virgins, and myself,
IS whether the white Democrats of our
county who participated in the pri-
mary of last spring, are going to re
deem their selfimposed pledges and
vote for the Nominees of their own
making. or whether they are going to
bolt the Democratic nominees and
vote for local Republican ticket for
the first time in their lives.
Ny running mate and myself are the
nominees OF the white Democratic
voters of our cOuIs&y- Our Republican
opponents are the nominees Of a com
mfttee composed Of negroes and white
men, with a negro as chairman.
.SeconsI-I1ocal Option.
The regulation of the liquor traffic
IS fraugid with many difficulties that
have arisen in the past score of years.
The trainers of the present ccnstitu-
sion or Florida fully appreciated this
fact. and wisely put the matter be-
yond the whimS and capTices of each
Eucceeding legislature by embodying
IN that instrument the provision THAI
the regulation of the liquor traffic
shall always be subject to the will OF
she people as expressed by their bal
lots. And no just person can object
TO this method of regulating the mat

humble Judgment is without authority

people from determining for them
selves by their votes whether liquor
shall or shall not be sold in this
state

legislature Of Florida proposing to
submit to the people the question of
whether liquor shall or shall not be
sold, / win vote to let the people vote
on, the question for themselves.
Third-Proposed New City Charter
1t Is almost certain that a new city

IRE of assisting in accomplishing this
result.
Fifth-COnvict Lease System.
BY reason of observation and ex-
perience about the courts OF our state
and having come i'll contact with the
system of leasing cOnvicts, ! have
come to know that the abuses of this
system make it in some instances,
little more than human slavery. Our
sister state, Georgia, the Empire
State of the South. has had to do with
this question quite lately, and | am
informed that such system of dealing
with the conyicts has been devised III
that state that the convictS are hui
namely treated and the state con-
tinues TO derive the revenue as form
erly. | SHALL favor a law that will Sc
cure to the state the revenue she is
justly entitled to through the convicts,
and will, at the same time, secure TO
the cOnvicts humane and cOnsideratC
treatment.
Sixth-Good Roads.
i believe that one way OF utilizing
the convicts would be 10 work them
on a co5Gaty Or state system of good
roads. In this way the convicts would
be in the Immediate charge and I'M
der the direct supervision of The state
and the public will receive a subStan-
tial return from their labor, and will
be relieved. in a great measure, of the
burdensome system of direct taxation

migrants of such character as will

my support.
Having submitted for your conSid-
Grafton my position on these import
