THE CHAMPION Office has caught up Vi
politics and will now turn their attention TO u
duction of that famous inimitable, unexcelle
tistically Neat Printing. We have done
deal Of this work during the past few mont
owing to the extraordinary rush of work haw
unable to give it the painstaking care that has T
for our printing so wide reputation.
Those editors who have nothing but unkic
slanderous filings for Governor Broward protab1
it their duty to advise him as to what he shall c6
not do but it is too much to expect that mn
blood in his veins will take the advice Of his MJ
foes. They might better save themselves the u
of attempting to dictate to one in every way a
of managing the affairs PERTAINING to the Gosed

The Starke Telegraph editor, in rectiH1
reasons why Gichrist should be elected CN0
said, When DeSoto County went dry seveh
ago the Punta Gorda voting precinct gave tie
dry majority in the county. Mr.. Gilchris ~
Punta Gorda and his neighbors say that the Il
dry majority in that precinct was largely due
personal efforts in favor of prohibition.
Starke editor hits the truth as seldom in the 4
his article as he did in this his word should'
taken under oath. Punta Gorda, out OF %
two hundred votes, thirteen years ago, gave q
twelve dry" votes. This is not heresay but
from the offical records in the Court House al
dia. The prohibitiopists Of DeSoto County haS
to learn that General Gilchrst ever worked to-
hbtion in their midst. At the election
Wauchnla, Pine Level, Arcadia, Zolfo Avon
Bowling Green, and Owens each gave more
votes than Punta Gorda. We trust our editor
as much as in them lies, stick to the truth
they might find some good things that are true
about the General.
