If the letter published ia an
other part IF this paper from
Pleasant Holt to Chairman Price
Of the State Executive Commit
tee is not a forgery and untrue,
then it shows a condition in the
politics OF Florida which should
not be'tolerated longer by the
people. To Claud L'Engle, can
didate for the United States
Senate, is due the credit for
making the letter public. We
30 not know how L'Engle got
hold of the letter. His methods
may have been disionorable or
they may not have been, bat the
TACT remains that the letter is
public property aud if it be a
true copy of the letter which it
pprpOTts.to be the democrats of
Florida should demand forwith
the resignation of the Chairman
Of the State Committee. Holt
Is we'll known as a shrewd pol
itician and as one who stops at
nothiug to carry his point. He
S the accredited manager of the
whislley interests 10 Florida and
is engaged in wagiug the fight
against the adoption of the pro.
posed Prohibition amendment.

cratic Executive Committee i:

We have a right to comment
on Price for two reasons:
First -Holt's letter begins by
acknowledging one from Price.
Maybe it was in answer toPrice's
letter; but maybe not. Anyhow
there is an all-sufficient justiti-
cation, and that is the second
II Price was opposed to or re-
scented the methods suggested
by Holt, why has be not said so?
Why has he not resented the
bold, barefaced inquiries as to
the methods and means of vio-
lating the primary election law
he is in honor Piled ged and bound
to carry out both in letter and
in spirit.
The edIlor of this paper is no
prude, We've done those things
we ought not to have done"
We've voted for Taliaferro, ire
quented bar.rooms and been to
the races.-'And there is no
health in u.s."
But while we confess to these
frailties, let us tell you right
now, the whiskey, the race track
and the business Senator in
terests are going just a little too
far.
We used to tell a story OF two
girls riding bicycles. One asked
the other; Are you cushion
tired or pneumatic-tired?" She
answered: ooh, l am damned
tired?'
And that's just the way we
feel about the whiskey men Of
this state running our politics.
And We tell you again that when
it comes to a line up, we are 60
ing to be found with both feet
standing upon the side of deceu-
cy and morality.
Some of us here really believe
Mr., p. A. Holt is the guiding
star Of all three of these inter
ests. Mr.. Cassidey seems to be
running Senator Talaferro's
part of the show, and being a
splendid business manager of
the business senator" we hope
his contribution" has now gone
in, and that Mr.. Holt will not
he forced to worry over it any
longer.

"PLEZ HAVE WRIT ALETTER"

the Price-L Engle episode from
the Jacksonville Floridian:
We've read Paul's Epistle to
the Ephesians, but Plez's Epis-

l say unto thee damditfittassant!
Well, what do you know about
this?
Really, didn't yer thlnk"Ple2
zy" had better sensef
Aud Mr.. William HINES Price.
What we are trying to perco-
late through the density of our
craniums is why the aforesaid
| Mr.. william Hines, or the Hon
orable william Hines Price,
Chairman Of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee Of
the democratic State of Florida,
should have resolved himself
into a common tool and puppet
and hireling and PIMP for the
dissemination of a corruption
fund to debase and debauch the
democratic voters of Florida.
Mr.. Price, you'd better be
going while going's good"-For
the first thing you know we are
gong to tell something about
you, you might not like.
Oh my, how we used 10 rave
aud rant and paw the air about
"those dark and dismal days of
reconstruction"
And so,-instead of singing
the old coon song, "Bill Baily,
Wont You Please Come Home ?"
we shall send down into the
pits of hell our supplications to
the radicals and republicans aud
scalliwags and carpetbaggers,
of whom we have so forcefully
talked in the past, and ask
them to send US up even the
worst of their number as a par
agon for the Democratic party
as now organized in Florida.
This kind of writing may be
awtuIly indiscreet on our part,
We don't own a gun! and
even a SON. Of -a-gun' is jus. a
little too expensive for our pres
ent income and environments.
But do you know, somehow,
we just simply can't keep out of
a scrap? We like it, and if
there's one going on, we'll come
mighty near getting into it.
We'd get into it more often if
The Floridian could only come
out more often.
But say, isn't it awful, Ma
bels'that such a condition of af-
fairs should exist in an enlight-
ened state like this3
Here's the generally heralded
and universal conceded hireling
and dissemination of a corrup
tiou fund To debase and debauch
the minds, bodies and souls of
the voters Of Florida, with the
brazen effrontery of all the an
