HON. w. A. BLOUNT
SPEAKS TONIGHT
Final Meeting of the Campaign
Will Be at the Court House

Forget for the time that he is leading
candidate for the U. S. Senate-remem-
Der only that Hon. w. A. Blount of
Pensacola is one of the few great men
and orators of Florida, and that as a
prominent Floridian, learned man, and
an eloquent, forceful speaker he is en-
titled to the courtesy of your presence
your hospitable welcome to the Gem
City.
The citizens who do this welcoming
act-this act of hospitality and courtesy
no matter what may be their views on
the senatorship-will be amply rewarded
by hearing one of the greatest speeches
in the annals of campaining in Florida.
The News trusts that this eminent
Floridan will be greeted by an immense
audience. He deserves it.
And the News has an inkling that the
''fur will fly" some tonight.
Mr.. Blount is just beginning to wake
up to the fact that his legislative record
is being asSailed with an eleventh
hour" attack at the hands OF Candidate
Bryan.
Mr.. Blount will learn the nature of
these attacks-theSe innuendoes-theSe
covert insinuations of Mr.. Bryan when
he reads this issue of the News. He
will answer them tonight and what
he will do to Mr.. Bryan will be plenty.
No matter what his enemies may say,
the private and public record OF w. A.
Blount is not of the kind that needs be
hidden from the public gaze-not even
in political campaign.
