Witness Who Swears Lie Struck
By Bolt of Lightning

Paris, Nov. s.-A dramatic
incident occurred in the Palace
Of Justice at Beziers in the mid
die of a Thunderstorm recently.
A witness whose yeracity had
been questioned by the judge
lifted his hand and exclaimed:
May l be struck by lightning
if l am not telling the truth"
The words were hardly out of
his mouth before lightning struck
the building and the witness fell
on the floor in an agony of fear.
He was unhurt, and rising to his
feet, he confessed himself guilty
of the crime Of which he had
just accused another man.

TO THE GOD-FEARING PEOPLE OF
FLORIDA:

"A cOnQlI1On now cOnIfOnCS Ine people OI
Florida, the like Of which has never been
known in this State.
Many of us are neither politicians nor
political partisans, but all Of the undersigned
feel it their patriotic duty to disregard all
existing party or fractional affiliations, and
to call upon all good citizens of Florida having
the right to vote in the Primary Election
June Is, to lay aside, for the time being at
least, all partisan feelings and join all the
God-fearing, order-loving, law-abiding people
in one united effort to prevent the otherwise
possible domination Of the Government Of
Florida by the liquor dealers of our fair State.
We respectfully state the following as facts
worthy of the careful and prayerful con-
sideration of the people Of Florida.
The Democratic Primary Elections in
Florida unquestionably and absolutely fix the
status of all State and County Governments.
In them are chosen all Of our Executive, Legis-
lative and Judicial officers. In them are
decided the governmental status so far as
law, order, peaceable existence and enforce
ment Of laws are concerned. Those who wish
government to be controlled by the moral
elements in society, for the moral welfare of
persons who stand for the moral welfare Of
the people, Those opposing moral government
and interested in debauching the people never
fail to be active in their own interests.
Never before in all the history of Florida
have the representatives Of the saloon inter-
ests so openly defed the moral elements of
society and so boldly organized to seize con-
troll of the government Of the State and so
many Of the Counties
Never before in all the history of any
Southern State have the saloon keepers so
openly organized and raised corruption funds
by openly assessing every saloon in the State
and sent authorized agents to the great distil-
lers and brewers of the United States solicit
ing enormous contributions from outside the
State to be used to influence the voters Of the
State in the election Of a Governor Legisla-
tors and other officers who will be under obi
cations to them and who will owe to the saloon
men their election to Office,
It is hard to conceive Of such case, but
it is an absolutely evident fact, and fact
which is not even attempted to be hidden, but
is openly avowed, that the saloon interests
in Florida have been thoroughly organized,
and have assessed each saloon Of the State,
and have collected in addition thereto enor-
nous sums of money from distillers and brew
ers beyond the limits Of the State, and have
concentrated their support upon one candidate
for Governor of the State, and upon candi-
dates for the State Senate and House Of
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-06-04

to do with the enforcement Of laws intended
to regulate the sale of liquors.
The people Of Florida could not believe the
extent Of that work of the liquor dealers until
they came face to face in contact with it at
the recent primary election, but the condition
then disclosed should arouse every patriotic
citizen of Florida to a thorough realization
that unless they. act together, and act promptly
and vigorously, the saloon interests Of Florida,
backed by the entire liquor interests of the
United States, will elect for four years as
Governor Of Florida the man whom they have
chosen as their candidate, whom they have
openly supported with enormous expenditures
Of money, and who if elected, will beyond
possible question owe his election to their
support.
We do not wish to say one word against
the character Of their candidate, Mr.. Gil
christ, and he, Of course, received the votes
Of many patriotic citizens who can not and
will not approve Of the methods used but no
one can deny that if elected he will absolutely
owe his election to the saloon interests, with
out whose assistance he would not have come
anywhere near election.
AS citizens Of Duval county we can
speak from personal observation and knowl-
edge Of the recent primary election in this
County, where they were perhaps more open,
more active, and more effective than elsewhere,
because of the fact that there are more and
greater saloon interests here, where we have
not only our former number Of liquor dealers,
but where we now have concentrated many
whiskey houses recently forced out of Georgia
and Alabama.
We know the facts recently made clear here,
and we appeal to the good citizens of Florida
to make clear beyond possible question June
49, that the saloon interests can not dominate
the people of Florida.
In the name Of morality and self-respect we
appeal to every voter at that election to
answer by his vote whether he is willing that
the Governor of Florida or any officer shall
owe his election to the organized work and
the monetary contribution Of the saloon keep
erS.
The Governor of Florida should not be an
ungrateful man. Few men elected to Office
fail to recognize throughout their official life
their debt of gratitude to those to whom they
know and the public know they owe their
election.
The candidate supported by the saloon
interests will owe his election to those who
elected him, and must be grateful to them.
The candidate opposed by the saloon and
elected by the patriotic people will owe his
Il Il
