When this inventory of Mr.. Blount's
political effects was taken we fear
that all his pockets were not searched,
as he must have had hidden away
somewhere a plan for protecting pine
apples and camphor trees. No man
should be sent to the senate from
Florida who is not fully committed
to the cause Of pineapples and cam
phor.-Richmond (Va.) Times-Dis-
patch.
Gained New Supporters.
By his speech in Starke Monday
night Candidate Blount pleased his
original supporters and gained some
new ones. His speech was an intel
ligent discussion of national issues
and a Egnifed presentation of his
candidacy for seat in the United
States senate.-Starke Telegraph.
History VIII Repeat.
When Mr.. Duncan U. Fletcher was
candidate for the United States SEN
ate against the late Hon. Napoleon
B. Broward, the "curb-stone' politi.
clans made many of the same charges
against him that they are now making
against Hon. William A. Blount, yet
since Mr.. Fletcher has occupied seat
in the senate not one word Of crit.
cism has been made against him. The
prophesies Of the noisy curb-stone fell
lows have never been realized, and
Mr.. Fletcher's 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
state, almost to a man, will vote for
him.-Ocala Banner.
West Fiorida's Time.
Jacksonville has in Senator Fletcher
worthy representative in the United
States senate. He is abundantly able
to care for the interest of that city
and section Of the state Tampa and
south Florida have Sparkn1an to look
out for and guard our interest West
Florida should have a man On the
scene, and by their vote In the late
primary. have shown that they. think
Hon. w A. Blount the proper man for
the place Let's be magnimous and
help them to put him in at the pr.
mary on the 31st.-Braidentown Jour.

Official Count Nailed 1t.
Colonel Toner IN his speech in this
city said inferrentiauy that the L. &
n. railroad controlled Blount; that
the A c. l. controlled the L. & n.
and that the A. c. l. also owned a
substantial interest IN some Of the
daily newspapers of the state and that
was the reason he Bryan vote in the
first primary was suppressed and
kept from the people, when 10! and
behold! the official figures make
Blount's majority greater than any
newspaper in the state claimed for
him. Toners speech in Ocala made
votes for Rlount and If those forty
seven speakers that Mr.. Bryan is
going to flood The state with On next
Saturday don't do any better than
Toomer, BlouEt will hsve an almost
unanimous vote.-Ocala Banner
Vote Proves Sentiment.
The big vote cast for Mr.. ". A.
Blount for senator OF the United
States IS a very bright compliment
paid to this talented gentleman, who,

Of our people. and the large vote he
received. proves it.-Titusvi!le Advo-
