from Mr.. Claude L'Engle, editor
of the Tallahassee Sun, II request
to quote price for thirty inches of
displayed advertising and three
columns OF reading matter to be
used in behalf of j. N. G. Stock

Punta Gorda, FlaY
May 9th, 1908.
Hon. Claude LEngle,
Tallahassee, Fla.:-
DEAR SIR:--l beg to acknowl'
edge your esteemed favor of the
23rd asking for rates for thirty
inches of displayed matter and
three columns of reading matter
in advocacy of the candidacy of
Hon. j. N. g. Stockton for gov
crnor, and in reply beg to respect
fully decline TO accept the propos-
ed matter at any price
My reasons for declining are
that General Gilchrist, whom you
are attacking uniustIy, is my
friend and | am supporting him
for governor, because ] am CON
vinced that he is in every respect
we'll qualified for the Office and is
worthy of the support Of any and
all citizens Of Florida.
Further, your attacks on him,
for the publication of which you
would use the space you desire,
are based on the false assumption
that he is in league with the whis-
key and corporation elements to
control and govern the State in
their interest; for you say in your
letter to me, "The question now is
whether or not whiskcy and the
saloon element shall dominate the
State administration"
You know there is no such CUES
ton; that no class, element or fac
ton can control or dominate Gil
christ against his conscientious
convictions of what is right.
You yourself said in the Sun sew
eral months ago that "the corpor-
ations do not want Gilchrist, be-
canse they know that they can't
control him." and that was and is
true, but now you charge him
with being the corporation candi-
date.
/ believe you know that YOU
can't control him, and that is why
you are opposing him and sup
porting Mr.. Stockton.
At any rate, / shall not permit
you or any one else to use The
HERALD in making the false
charge against General Gilchrist
that, if elected governor, he will
he controlled by the whiskey ele-
ment and the corporations.
If these elements are supporting
him, they are doing SO because
they very correctly believe that he
is a fair and just man and will
treat all interests with justice and
imparti~lity. Do you think he
ought to reject their support be-
cause they may not be rs good
Christians as you think you arel
Wouldn't II man running for
Office be a great "crank" if he an
nounced that he did not want the
votes of the employees of rail
roads, the keepers of saloons,
poker players, cigarette smokers,
and all others who do not go
to church every Sundayl Will
Mr.. Stockton make such a
declarations
Fraternally yours,

sUBLIMELY RIDICULOUS

M q live in an age when all the
w gilt is being rubbed on the gin
~ gerbread. A year ago the
Sublime Porte sent the United States
an equally sublime minister. He was
clothed In purple and fine linen. Jared
sumptuously and was an all-around
good fellow. He brought with him to
the United States two steeds Of Araby,
valued at $4,000 apiece. These steeds
are now in the hands of the gieours.
One of them he presented to firm of
cigarette manufacturers whom we do
not propose to advertise. The other
he pawned with Homer Davenport, the
only millionaire cartoonist on earth,
and the artist gave the sultan's rep
resentative enough money to take him
home. Why he should be anxious to
return home we cannot conjecture.
He may be bastinadoed or bow
stringed, but after being dead broke
in the United States he seems to re-
gard the possibility Of personal ia
tality with cheerful indifference. But
see how fate has turned the tables on
the erstwhile naughty ones on earthi
The representative OF sub1imity is
staked by the man who draws funny
pictures. The emissary of the sublime
is on his uppers and the apostle of
the ridiculous comes (for value re-
ceived) to the rescue.
