D., cation With BlaCkSCOne) from felOn-
ro .ssoult and battery with without malice afore-
tboncht las the law books say on the Constitution,
made and provided by the Revolutionary Fahers-and
thew 1.-THE lawyers) oat strong on oratory-when
the galleries are crowded.
BUT
We are told by no less authority than the New
vork Evening Post real nice and conservative paper
'' THERE ARE AZ LAWYERS IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE RIGHT NOW
And that majority OF the torty-tWo are attorneys
for Trusts and Corporations
It plainly appears from these plain figures that the
lawyers have the big bulge on the rest of mankind
when it comes to representation in the higher branch
of the country's aw-making body.
Proportion is not only good rule to apply in fgur-
ing labor and hire, income and outgO and all other
things, but 1t is THE PARTICULAR rule most par
tcularly applied to representative government.
Leaving the other states to manage things for them
selves we will apply this rule to THIS STATE, and
see how stand
Florida according to r. G. Dun & Co.. has $500
business men. There probably some that Dun has
overlooked, so, let's call it ten thousand.
We have in our midst some twelve hundred lawyers
belonging to the State Bar Association. There are
some who don't belong and show liberal spirit
will put the humber of lawyers in Florida ut 1000
1000 is is of 10000.
So there should be is as many lawyers as business
men in the United States Senate from Florida.
At present there half many lawyers business
representing Florida IN the United States Senate
Thus is the equitable rule of proportion broken or
badly bent. Florida is not allowed but two senator's
and there should be II business and $40 of law
yer preserve the law of proportion from violation.
But the people of Florida not to be satisfied with $40 of
lawyer them in the United States Senate they demand
whole lawyer and extra good They have him in
the person of Duncan u Fletcher, whose senatorial
until 1915.
To the acuey dispoporionate situation home and
help down the professional preponderance in the Senate
where the lawyers have nearly fifty cent OF the
the people Of Florida must act wisely and haudgmen whet
ted to keen discrimination by the pending emergency.
True the professional habit of keeping the legal the
main chance TWO lawyers trying get the of
ONE business now in the Senate from Florida
JOHN N c. STOCKTON is NOT ONE OFsTtlESE
HE IS A CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
HE is BUSINESS MAN
He is quaid the representative of all the people of
Florida in the United States Senate.
He knows much about governmental affairs either of the
two lawyers who want TO increase the legal popuaono the
Senate
He has been the people by his p
years the firing line of the peoples fight for their rights than
either one or both of his opponents
Now this coming be heard and evidence submit
ted and briefs presented and arguments listened TO- and the law
OF proportion Observation-Disclosures is hereby given that this
shall be the slogan for this campaign
LETS PUT STOCKTON IN THIS TINE
Done and ordered by popular uprising openi concve this
present time. The Peoples Will, JUDGE.
