COLONEL TooMER AND Mr.. BRY
AN IN OCALA

The above named gentlemen of
Jacksonville addressed the people of
Ocala and vicinity in this city from
the band stand at II o'clock Saturday
morning.
Hon. E. l. Wartmann of Citra acted
as master of cereomnies and intro
duced the distinguished speakers.
Colonel Toomer was first introduc-
ed, and Mr.. Bryan spoke last.
We shall say in the outset that this
paper had no stenographer on the
grounds, and if it bad been so fortu-
nate it would not have had the space
TO print the remarks of the speakers
in fuu.sso it will be forced to- print
only its impressions Of the speeches
made by them.
Both gentlemen appeared to be in
III humor, and seemed to have a spe-
cial crouch against the unoffending
newspapers OF the state.
Colonel Toomer said that the Allan
ticaCoast Line Railway owned the con-
trolling stock of the L. & n. railway,
and burdened all the sins of the latter
railroad which were many and griev-
Gus, on the shoulders of Mr.. Blount.
That the A. c. L. also owned a sub
stantial interest in some of the daily
newspapers Of this state, and it was
for that reason that the vote of Mr..
Nat Bryan in the first primary had
been suppressed, and was refused to
be given to the people.
Now, it is fact beyond contradic-
ton. that the daily newspapers of this
state printed the election returns COM
piled by those in Mr. Bryan's employ
ment at his campaign headquarters.
They could do no more than that.
This paper wired to the Bryan head
quarters to wire at its own expense
Mr.. Bryan's compilation of the cleo
tion returns, but no notice whatever
was taken of the telegram.
Mr.. Bryan said that ever since he
had made his announcement as a can
didate for the United States senate he
mad been hammered and denounced by
the newspapers.
1t is a fact that nearly every news
paper printed in Florida reaches our
exchange table, and we examine them
quite carefully, and we have failed to
see single attack made upon this
young man. On the contrary, the
of the state have treated
him with great tenderness and consid-
Grafton.
Mentioning the things said in praise
of Mr.. Blount: His beautiful home life,
his probity of character, etc, which
Colonel Toomer did not deny, some,

The congressional library building
at Washington City is admitted to be
one of the finest if not the handsom-
est buildings in the world. 1t is built
of New Hampshire granite, covers
nearly four acres of ground, and rep
resents an expenditure of over $6,OOO,-
600 1t is the product of American
talent, art and workmanship, and in
richness and harmony of adornment
stands today as Americas highest
architectural achievement.

When Mr.. Duncan U. Fletcher was
a candidate for the United States sen
ate against the late Hon. Napoleon B
Broward, the "curb-stone" politicians
made many of the same charges
against him that they are now making
against Hon. William A. Blount, yet
since Mr.. Fletcher has occupied a seat
in the senate not one word of criti-
cism has been made against him. The
prophesies of the noisy curb-stone fell
lows have never been realized, and
Mr.. Fletchers record in congress has
met with universal approval by his
constituents in this state. History
will repeat itself in the case of Mr..
Blount He will illuminate the sub
jects under discussion in that august
tribunal, and will shed luster to his
state and the citizens of Florida will
be proud of his achievements. The
thoughtful, conservative people of the
state, almost to a man, will vote for
him.

Ransom in North Carolina, and their

Ransom in North Carolina, and their
.eo-laborers in other states. and with
them the destruction of the hope OF
democratic supremacy in the nation
perhaps for all time to come.
1t seems to us that the lesson OF
history should impress itself upon us
and that we should put to the front
those who are to control the state and
nation our most conservative, thought
full, patriotic and ripest scholars, and
not be guided and controlled by the
noisy agitators who are filed with
spleen, prejudice and venom and
have not. had the time nor the incli-
nation to study the great problems OF
government.
Florida has the opportunity to send
to the senate of the United States &
man who would easily take rank with
some OF the greatest statesmen Of the
past, who has given profound study
to the problems and intricacies OF
government, who is acknowledged to
be a great constitutional lawyer, who
is profoundly attached to the south,
her institutions and her traditions,
and if elected would be wise in coun-
sci, moderate in judgment, firm in de-
bate, and would WELD an influence
that would give prestige and luster to
the section he represents.
Why not do it?
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1911-01-20

| he said. regarded his as the bright
particular star in the legal armament
of Florida" but, said the colonel, there
are others. That he himself had had
the distinguished opportunity & meet
inc Mr.. Blount before the supreme
court of the United States and gained
very substantial and easy victory
over him.
Colonel Toomer had a great deal 10
saw of the turpentine industry, and
Mr.. Blounts unsavory connection with
it. He was shocked and grieved that
Mr.. Blount should have defended Mr..
Shotter and associates of Savannah,
whom he denounced as band OF
crooks"
He said that the depression in the
turpentine industry some years ago
was owing to the law, or want OF law,
governing the same. and when the
friends of the industry tried TO get a
bill through congress correcting the
evils surrounding it that the bill felt
the poison fangs' of Blount, and the
measure was defeated.
Who was the man trying to get this
bill through congress? Was it not
Senator Taliaferro? Did the turpen-
tine men regard him as their benefac-
tor? Did they show their gratitude
by voting for his reelection? ASK
him.
If our understanding is correct, the
industry is operated under the same
law now that it was when it was at
It's lowest ebb. Under the operations
Of the same law the barrel of rosin
that brought one dollar then brings
ten dollars now If it was the law
that caused it's depression, why does
the same law now cause its imitation?
Colonel Toomer was also shocked
and grieved over Mr.. Blount's cOnnec-
ton with Judge Swayne, and the part
he played as a witness in the i'm
parchment proceedings. Mr. Blount
also showed a great deal of venom in
some cases that were tried before
Judge Swayne, in which some very
excellent citizens of west Florida
were cruelty outraged and punished.
All these matters are familiar to
the people of west Florida, and no
man ever received a finer endorse
ment than Mr. Blount received at
their hands. Surely, if Mr.. Blount is
the bad and cruel man painted by the
two orators yesterday he could not
have received such a flatteTing en-
dorsement at the hands Of his neigh
bors in the first primary.
Mr.. Bryan said that the large part
of Mr.. Blount's plurality in the first
primary came from the big majority
obtained in his own county. He said
he would have the people to know that

The esteemed Tampa Times says
that all Mr.. Bryan and his friends ask
or have for long time asked is that
he be let alone. Well, why does he
keep on the firing line? Mr. Bryan
has not gone into seclusion. On the
contrary, he continues active in his
efforts to dictate the policy of the
democratic party and unfortunately
his efforts are not in the direction CT
peace and harmony. He refuses to

rate statehood. Texas has an erea of

then, all communities are not like Tiff
