and now in their eagerness to elect
Gilchrist they even insinuate these
two. Yet, Stockton has never been
proven guilty of one dishonest, or dis
graceful act, either legally or morally.
The Tampa Tribune six months ago
declared that Stockton was a man of
irreproachable character and integri-
ty. but now IN its utter eagerness to
elect its corporation candidate, is
abusing Stockton numerically. Peter
knight, the famous corporation lob
byist, is even writing derOgatory let
tiers of Stockton, so eager is he to
elect his andidate-Gilchrist. Even
Gilchrist sent out, or il was sent out
for him, false literature damaging to
Stockton's character in reference to
Stockton's paving contract with the
city of Jacksonville. and we heard
Stockton accuse Gilchrist of sending
out this literature, nor did Gilchrist
deny it. but practically admitted the
untruthfulness of the literature. The
Times-Union also is printing some
similar false literature to Gil
christ, but since Stockton. has
been indicated of the charge
the Times-Union has lacked the
spirit of fairness to say he has
been indicated. 1t all only goes to
show that the corporations will resort
to anything, even to running a mans
reputation, if necessary, to elect a
corporation candidate. Won't the peo-
pie ever wake up, and vote for can
didates who represent the common
peoples interests, instead of being
fooled into voting for the corporation
candidate?-Fort Myers Breeze.

Indignation and Denials
That Are Unnecessary.

General Gilchrist and his urbane
manager, Mr.. La Fontisee, are waxing
violently indignant over this Liquor
campaign proposition and are deny
ing that either of them has paid for
any Liquor to be used in the cam
paign or is instrumental in any way
On having it used.
The denial is altogether superhu'
Gus. No one has charged General
Gilchrist with buying any whisky or
with using it in the campaign.
There have been charges and there
is abundant evidence, however. that
The Liquor men are everywhere sup
porting the candidacy of the DeSoto
county candidate. That is the real
point In the matter, and that is fea'
ture of the campaign that no one
Noes or can deny.
Now, why are the Liquor men SO
unanimous for General Gilchrist?
What are they supporting him for?
what do they expect in the event OF
bis election?
These are all pertinent, relevant
questions. Neither the candfdate MOI
his manager nor his newspaper back
ers have answered these questions.
They may bubble about the amount
of Liquor money being used. 'ine~
may assert and prove that General
Gilchrist himself is not paying foi
any Liquor--no one expected that he
was paying for it and no one has
charged him with doing it, They
may assert and prove that he is an

The Tirnes-Union's
Luciicrous Plot.

About the thinnest scheme and one
of the most laughable exhibitions OF
political humbuggery that mas ever
appeared in the state of Florida is the
attempt of the corporation interests
to make it appear that they them
selves are now supporting Governor
Broward for the United States senate.
The following from the Tampa
Tribune reveals the fimsy plot:
The Tribune feels considerable con-

Sitical attitude of it's highly esteemed
contemporary, the Jacksonville Times

fare on Napoleon Broward Just at the
critical moment when 1t rests In the
balance whether the great state on
Florida is to be represented IN The
Jruited states senate by demagogue
without genuine political classifica-
zion or BY a sterling democrat, like
Duncan u. Fletcher?
To appreciate the full force of this
auht,e but laughable, proposition it
need only be noted that the support
of the Tinres-Union for any state
candidate has for years been consid-
cred a serious handicap for the can
didate. Into such political dfsrepute
has that paper fallen throughout the
state of Florida that is support Is
feared by every man who aspires to
ofice and is regarded with general
suspicion by the voters at large

of Governor Broward's strongest
cards in this as well as in preceding
scampaigns-

in his own dear Florida a great and
shining example as lead to his own

Governor Broward has his enemies
