My fight for success is single
handed and alone, aided only by in
dividual supporters who have been
given absolutely no promises and do
not hope for nor expect any Judicial

trust is reposed in all the people Of
every part Of the county, irrespective
of parties. If elected, it must be by
their free and voluntary support.
The direct primary law was passed
for the express purpose Of taking
political power out of the hands OF

where it belongs-in the hands of the
people. I have confidence in both
their fairness and intelligence, and am
submitting my candidacy to their fair
and impartial consideration.
Whatever those fighting me say or
do will not justify me, nor shall l un-
der any circumstances, make any other
than fair and honorable fight, nor
knowingly permit it to be done.
Success on any other plan would be
the most ignominious defeat.

STOCKTON AND RRoWARp
SPEAK At THE COURTHOUSE

Messrs. Jno. N. c. Stockton and Gov.
\. 3. Broward, candidates respectively
for the office of governor and United
States senator, reached Ocala from
Crystal River Saturday afternoon,
where there had been held big pic
nic and much speaking. These dis
tinguished gentlemen spoke in the
courthouse Saturday night to a good
sized audience, among them bevy OF
IL dies.
Mr.. John M. Graham, chairman of
the Marion County Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee, called the meeting
TO order and introduced Mr.. Stockton,
who made a good speech, concisely and
cioquently delivered, and as the Star
has already, on a previous occasion,
given a full report of his views, we
will simply say it left a good impress
sion. Mr.. Stockton is confident he will
be the next governor
By this time the chairman was ov-
ercome with the grave and response
bic duties Of his office and was COM
pelled to seek rest, and as the De-
mosthenes Of Marion county was on
hand, the Hon. Marion L. Payne, of
Fairfield, he turned over the gavel to
him and Mr.. Payne proceeded to in :
trcduce Governor Broward, which he
Gid in his usual interesting and strik .
ingly eloquent manner.
The governor in substance repeat
ed what he said at the same place a
month ago, but If anything made clear
or that he had virtually carried out all
the promises made when asked to be
elected governor.
His exposition of the vexed railroad
question and how to simplify 1t and
make it easy of solution so far as fair
and equitable rates are concerned, was
for the railroads of each state, thro'
their agents to give monthly accounts
Of all receipts and expenses. At the
end of the year strike balance. If
they earned over and above the ex-
lenses of doing the business and keep
ing the physical condition of the road
good and a fair interest on the money
invested in the road, then reduce the
rates. If the rates were not sufficient
to meet all equitable demands, then
raise them. Not to permit railroads to
issue bonds and sell them except to
extend. or better the transportation
condition of their roads. With this
information from all the railroads Of
the country before the interstate com
mission, that body could act intelli-
gently and with benefit to the shipper
as well as to the capital invested in
the roads.
He wanted the office of United
States senator because he believed he
would work hardest for the interests
Gf all parties concerned. He did not
have an unkind word to say against
any Of his opponents. He thought
Boards ideas impracticable, that La
mar had been well rewarded politically
and that Fletcher represented the
East Coast railroad
The governor told several amusing
anecdotes, one especially for the Ia
dies that made them litter good. The
governor left fine impression on his
hearers
