STATEMENT REGARDING POPE
is SAID TO BE TRUE

Myrtle Grove, Fla, June 2.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
In find in last Sundays Journal, May
Fl, where s. T. Williams. of Pine Bar
rem. Fla, says that Frank w. Pope is
TO deliver a speech in Pensacola on
Monday night. and wishes to call the
attention of the public to the fact
that several years ago he made a
speech in Pensacola when he was a
candidate for governor of the state Of
Florida and that he ran on the indie
pendent ticket against General Perry.
He was defeated in the race the ar
ticle said. and Pope carried the negro
vote. having been endorses nv the re-
plBblicans. That he ran on both the
tickets and that his speech is TO be
made in behalf of Albert Gilchrist,
candidate for governor.
Mr. Editor, ] want to say TO the
voters of Escambia county that some
of Myrtle Groves oldest voters say
that Mr.. WilliamS's statement is true
/ was not in politics at that time. as
I was too young. but if the statement
is true, which ! believe ii is, / ask
every voter on the 10th lay o. this
month, to mark his ticket as I intend
to do. and that will be for Stockton
for governor of the state of Florida
Mr.. Editor. will YOU please ask Jas.
MacGibbOn, candidate Cor clerk of the
circuit court. through the columns of
your paper why Mr.. Bingham is so
much interested in his campaign? I

not do so?

$3.50. Of this amount, 1,2i3 came
from Hilsboro and 1889 from Duval
county-or a total of ISIS votes
from the two biggest liquor hOtbeds
in the state. that leaves only So
votes to be accounted for-and there
were enough people, many times over,
who hadn't woke up to the situation
at that time to account for that. The
St Lucie Tribune gives also some
very instructive figures on the result
as follows:
The Times-U Mon and other news
papers of that ilk, are paTading the
fact that John n. c.. Stockton fai ed
to get majority of the Jacksonville
and Duval county vote. Jacksonville
is the hot bed of the corporations
and whiskey interests and it is well
known fact that much money was
used to defeat Mr.. Stockton there.
To offset this let's look at the returns
from DeSoto county, the home of
Gen. Gilchrist. Gen. Gilchrist ran 10l
votes behind the ticket. That means
that 101 men in DeSotO had SO much
county pride that they would not vote
against Mr.. Gilchrist, and too much
conscience to vote for him. OF the
"a precincts in DeSoto county, Mr..
Stockton carried of them with a
majority of 50 over both Mr.. Browne
and Mr.. GilchIst, or a majority of
154 over Mr.. GdlchTist alone. The
precinct of NOcatee gave Mr.. Stock
ton a vote of So ito Mr. Gilchrist'S 16.
Arcadia gave Mr.. Stockton 29S to 30
for MIR. Gilcm-ist-and be it remem-
bered that Arcadia is the county seat
of DeSoto-GilchriSt's home county.
All in all, it is quite evident that
when people get thoroughly awake
| to the source of the great part oil
the Gilchrist support there will be a
| good many reversals of position. The
evidences to that effect are growing
every day.

Il I needed and addition to the
strength of my belief in him as a man

These people living in the western

the smartest politician what ever
happened. They always give MAORI

people all the time, and KehOe got
majorities in many of the western

The race for congress in the Third
district Is a race in which are two
good men. cannot compare them to
the disparagement of either in point
of character and moral worth.

A POETS TRIBUTE
TO THE WEST.

Robert v. Carr, the poet of the
Black Hills, formerly a Denver news
paper man. is boosting the west
down in Indiana, where he is travel
ing as the representative of the In
ternational Live Stock exposition.
Here is a tribute to the West.
written for the Terre Haute Star by
Carr:
Mature has so many beautiful
and varied expressions in the West
that the most ardent Westerner
hesitates to attempt to give his i'm
pressions of his home country. 1t
seems strange to me that Americans
go to Europe without first seeing the
attractive and interesting features Of
their own country. 1t is certainly
very odd that people will cross the
Atlantic to roam around lot of mil
dewed ruins instead of visiting the
Black Hills, the Yellowstone park
and the Grand canon of the Colo
rado, works of the Almighty that the
puny efforts of man cannot even
start to initiate. Before you take
that European tour go West. After
that Europe will seem tame to you
and the remains of the moth-eaten
kings without interest. The West
does not merely want the tourists
money, she wants to be understood
and appreciated. Come out and see
u.s."
{ Then the Westerner wrote the fol-
lowing appreciation of James Whit
comb Riley:
He don't play no game fer fortune,
Ner throw a rope for fame,
Or think no chunk O. marble
Will stand saddled with his name,
But jes' sings plum sweetly
That makes us say an mean 1t,
We love Roley out our way.
He don't think he is better
OF them that be unknown,
But sez he kin remember
When he rode the trail alone,
With none to hand him bokays,
An none to up an say,
"Our hearts you've roped, Jim Riley,
Fer we love you out our way"
