Death Of Hiss Stoutamlrs.

At the home Of her parents at Blox-
ham, Leon county, on the 26th day OF
May, 1908, the soul of Miss Carrie
StOutamire, daughter of ]. d. and Lou
Stoutamire, left her mortal BODY and
was taken to live forever with the
Lord" Carrie had been in declining
health for some time previous to her
death, but it came suddenly at last.
During the few days previous to her
death it was evident that as the mate
rial body was weakening, the spiritual
grew strong, and at the time the grim
terror summoned her she met it with
that fortitude that a christian alone can
exhibit, and relying upon her Savior
she entered the rest that is prepared
for the people Of God.
To know Carrie was to love her, and
her many friends manifested this love
by their attendance to her last requests.
Carrie was a dutiful and affectiOnate
daughter, and the loss to her parents is
a sad one. Their many friends extend to
them their sympathy and coincidence in
their bereavement, and hope that they
are cOmforted by the knowledge that
she now occupies a place in a higher
sphere of life. Bereaved and sorrow
ing parents, Carrie now one among the
spirits of the just made perfect, there
she awaits your coming, there she is
waiting for the time when you will be
reunited with her, where parting never
takes place. Where, after this fieeting
life is over, you and her and all your
loved ones will live throughout the ages,
Where the wicked cease from troub-
ling and the weary are at rest"

DO me Yoter, of FlorIda.

TO the Voters Of Florida: Gov
erncr Broward having published a
statement regarding my candidacy
and given some expressions which
would seem to require a statement on
my part, | would say:
The complete returns are not yet
in. Sufficient have been received to
show that no candidate for United
States Senator received a majority
Of the votes cast.
The two highest are Governor
Broward and myself, and the differ.
ence between the number Of votes re-
ceived by US, respectively, will proba'
bly, amount TO less than 1900 when
correct returns are In, and that diff
ference may be in his favor. A can.
didate must receive a majority, not
mere plurality, to be declared the
nominee. Nothing approaching a ma
iority has been received In this race
by any candidate.
Il propose to continue the contest
to the absolute, definite, final conclu.
sion. | have submitted my candidacy,
upon whatever merit / possess, to the
people Of Florida, during the past
four months, and the vote received by
me in the first primary is most graft
flying to all my supporters and to
myself. Although / worked day and
night, could only meet or speak to a
comparatively small proportion Of the
people.
Il shall now endeavor to see more
Of them, and communicate again with
them all.
Il have been assured by people IN
all parts Of the State that II l sue
ceed in getting in the second primary,
/ was certain TO win, because the
friends of the retiring candidates
would come to me as second choice.
Add those who favor me as their
second choice for this high Office to
the magnificent vote given me as first
choice, and my vote in the second
primary will greatly exceed a ma
jority OF the electors OF the State Of
Florida
The people Of the State OF Florida
must now determine between Govern
or Broward and myself whom they
prefer TO fill this high Office, and l
feel absolutely confident OF my oeing
elected and Of my success in the
second primary, which will take place
June 16.
Il am grateful to those who have
favored me thus far, and shall well
come all such accessions as shall
come. shall push this campaign Wig
orOusly and unTemittinglY, in every
legitimate and proper way to the end,
having faith In the combined 1udg'
ment and conscience )f the people,
and depending upon them and not on
any political faction, clique, ring or
machine, or on any corporate or spe'
cial interest whatsoever.
Il appeal to my friends all through
the State TO give me she same loyal,
patriotic and unselfish support that
they have given me in the first pri'
mary. and to all who now favor my
election, to Join us in this fight, and
am sure that we shall win a great
victory, not alone for ourselves, but
for all the people OF the State and

David Garrick.

This laughable comedy was played
Friday night by local talent, aided and
coached by Mr.. and Mrs. Edouard
D'Oize, who have become such favor
ties with the Tallahassee public.
AS David Garrick, Mr.. D'Oize shone,
as usual, the bright, particular star. "
This versatile actor seems to fit every
part, whether of tragedy or comedy,
and his coming always insures a full
house.
OF the amateurs. the principal parts
were played by Mrs. Chas. Cay, Mr..
Walter NcGriff and Mr.. Laurence A..
Perkins, Jr. The audience was pre-
pared for the excellent acting Of the
two former, for their talent was well
known, but the way in which Mr.. Per-
kins handled his difficult part was really
wonderful in one who was making vir-
tually his first appearance on the stage.
Although Mr.. Perkins in one or two
minor parts had given his friends a
glimpse Of what he could do, still they
were not wholly prepared, and expert
rienced the qualification of a pleasant
surprise.
Beautiful Mrs. Gays impersonation
of the young heroine was worthy Of a
professional, as was also Mr.. McGriff's s
impersonation Of the dissolute young
nobleman. The minor characters, too,
were excellent, and made a fine sup
port for the more prominent four.
This entertainment, given for the
benefit of the Tallahassee Base Ball
Club, was such a success that, by re-
quest, il was repeated in a Saturday
afternnon matinee.

AS TAFT SAYS
IT is AGREED
That Nominee May Choose
Ills Running-Mate
A Preference tor DOlliver
Whose Friends Oppose
His Nomination.

Chicago, June 1S.-The presidential
candidate viii be permitted to name
his running mate, if he desires. No
sooner had the convention adjourned
today than Taft's immediate support
ers set to work to ascertain his wishes
regarding the candidate for the vice
presidency. They wired him direct,
and pending a reply, refused to voice
any opinion as to the probable out
come of the balloting. As a rule, the
Taft men manifested a willingness to
abide by the secretary's wish, but
there We're those among them who
took the position that delegates should
be permitted to cast their votes ac-
cOrding to their own predictions.
For the first time there was an
active propaganda in the interest of
Sherman, of New York. 1t was stated
positively that he would have the sup
port OF the entire delegation from his
own state. 1t was stated by Wood
ruff that ne would get oklahoma solid
and have votes from many other
states. He specifically mentioned,
Pennsylvania, Illinois. Michigan Indi-
ana, Colorado and many Of the New
England states.
There was also renewed talk in the
interest of Dolliver. There is a grow
ing belief that Taft will declare for the
Iowa senator. and it is freely predicted
that he viii be nominated in case the
secretary's. preference should be made
known before the beginning of the
balloting tomorrow.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1908-06-19

Much as the question Of Delivers
nomination has been discussed. and
many as the assertions of denials as
there have been concerning the atti-
tude of the secretary of war toward
him, there is a strong impression that
the Iowa senator is the real preference
of the nominee for first place. Most
of Taft friends are willing to accept
Dolliver, if he is indicated by the sec
retay, even though the nomination
should make as much trouble in Iowa
as has been predicted. The Iowa men
have not prepared a movement in be-
half of their candidate. but they are
actively engaged in heading it off
They held a meeting during the day
and declared for Cummins, but when
they began to canvass in his behalf,
they did not find general encourage
ment. There is still talk in favor of
Fairbanks.
There is some resentment among
the Taft people over the sighting al
lusions to their methods made ty the
vice presidents friends in the speeches
in the convention today, and it, is
evident that unless the Taft men be
come convinced of the wisdom Of re-
nominating the vice president in the
interest of the ticket he will not be
chosen. There are those among Taft's
friends willing to say that Fair
banks could do more for the ticket
than any one else, and they contend
for his nomination even in the face
of criticisms and differences of OPT
nion. Those nearest the secretary
were apparently not among those who
had this view.
There is no intimation tonight but
what Massachusetts will present Gov
ernor Guilds name in the convention.
Lodge is slated to make the nomi-
nation speech, and it is said some
member of the Michigan delegation,
among whom Guild is popular, will
second the nomination. A number of
men sought out other
New England delegations tonight and
urged concerted action in behalf of
Guild. They met some encourage
nent, but no actual promises, it is
We're given. None of the
New England states held meetings
tonight although it is said some of
the states will seek to agree upon a
candidate when the delegations come
together in the convention hall tomor-
'Ow. New Hampshire's sentiment
seemed to tend toward Fairbanks, al
