me True Democrat offers TO It's
bfothren Of the State press for their
consideration the name Of Hon. 7. J.
Applsyard, Of Lake City, FOR the posi-
ton OF State Comptroller. His interest
IN everything for the advancement Of
his State and his personal character has
won for him an enviable reputation
We know Of no man In the State that is
more worthy or more able to fill the
Office. White Springs Herald.
Sc. Augustine Record says: "The
Tallahassee True Democrat makes q
nomination that will be seconded by the
newspaper fraternity Of the State with
hearty good will, "
Key West Democrat Colonel T. ].
Appleyard's announcement for State
Comptroller should meet with favor in
this county. While Secretary of the
Senate he was always friendly to Mon
roe cOunty's interest, and in his paper
he has never lost an opportunity to say
q good word for Key West. If such
things are appreciated he will poll q
large vote here. Monroe county will
rally 10 the support of Mr.. Appleyard
and will give him good vote.
The name of Thomas ]. Appleyard
has been mentioned as a candidate for
State Comptroller. If he doesn't get
the solid vote of the press gang Of Flor
ida, then we are no prophet-provided
Of course he makes the race.-Perry
Herald.
Gadsden Times:- The True Democrat
offers TO it's brethren Of the state press
for their consideration the name Of Hon.
T. ]. Appleyard, Of LRSe City, for the
position Of State Comptroller. Like
other newspaper men Of Florida, he has
given considerable Of his time and his
limited means TO those things that tend
to the development Of the state. His
recent exhibit at the State Fair at Tam
pa Of the resources of the northern sec
tion Of the state, in placing his own
county's resources on exhibition, should
give him the support Of every man.
Politically, during public life Of over
twenty years, he has been clean and up
right. No man can point TO dishOnor-
Ole act Of his. He would be a strOug
nan and would make a good officer.
What say our brethren of the state
press? Who seconds the motion of the
True Democrat?
y The True Democrat is wise in putting
Bro. Appleyard's name before the peo-
pie, and at this stage of the game we
are betting dollars TO doughnuts that
Tom Appleyard Of the Lake City Index
will be the next comptroller. And why
shouldn't he be? There is no one in
Florida better qualified to fill the Office;
no one in the entire state who has fought
the battles of Democracy Oftener and
asked as little in return?
Mr.. Appleyard is a man for the far
mer and business man also; he is not
corporation man, neither is he dema-
gOgue; he is simply Tom Appleyard,
the next comptroller of the state of
Florida.
The Plant City Courier says: We
like Mr.. Appleyard personally but have
often disagreed with him politically,
but IL it comes to choice between APP
pleyard and the present incumbent,
here's 70 Appleyard and may he win.
The Times Union says: Hon. I. ].
Appleyard Of Lake City for the Office
Of state comptroller has met with the
endorsement of all the state papers
whom it has reached.
Washington Verdict:-The Tallahas-
see True Democrat suggests by way of
a change in the cabinet officers the
name of Thomas .Appleyard for comp
trOller. Well, If a change is to be
made, Colonel Tom would make a good
successor, and should he become a can
didate would find many willing pencils
Of the craft to help boost him along.
He is held in high esteem by the press
fraternity Of the State, and we doubt
If any aspirant would receive stronger
support from the newspaper boys than
he.
The DeFuniak Herald quotes our par
agraph and says 1--WE do" in seconding |
the nomination.

this very important position, and should |
he become q candidate his MANY friends
throughout this state would doubtless
work hard for his election.
Many Of the States most influential
papers have already taken the Oppor-
tunity TO endorse Mr.. Appleyard for
the position mentioned. II he can be
induced to enter the contest he will GER
tainly- prove a potent factor, for few
men stand in higher esteem and have
