VIM. M. GOber for County Judge
To the Democratic Voters of Marion
County: I hereby announce myself as
a candidate for the office of county
judge of Marion county, subject to the
democratic primary to be held on the
30th day Of April and in so doing I am
not unmindful of the fact that I am
personally unknown to many of the
voters of the county, but for the reason
that have not the money to make an
active canvass of the county, 1 shall
content myself with placing my name
before the people as best I can. I have
no influential or wealthy friends or
relatives on whom to rely for support
in furthering my candidacy, but rely
entirely on the wishes of the people as
expressed at the polls, should they see
fit to honor me with the office, I shall
endeavor to fully compensate by faith
full attention to the duties of the Of
fee, should they see fit to refuse me
the office, I shall accept their choice
without criticism, as my struggles and
iisappointments in life have been too
many to allow it to deter me IN my
efforts to meet with success in my
chosen profession. 1 am not polite
ian within the meaning of one con-
stant1y seeking an office, and am now
asking for office only for the reason
that 1 feel capable of filing it to the
satisfaction Of all, and that it will ma
terially aid me in many ways in my
profession.
I assure those who see fit to support
me of my sincere appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,

AN OPEN LETTER

Mr. s T. Sistrunk, Ocala, Florida,
Dear Sir: Some time ago | addressed
to you an open letter on the subject
of your unqualified pledge to me not
TO be candidate against me for clerk
in 1912. This letter was published in
all the county papers; it was not
sprung" on you just before the pri-
mary. but was published months ago,
giving you full opportunity to make
an open reply, in public, which you
have refused to do.
After coming TO me- as a friend, and
inducing me to put off my own can
didacy for clerk upon your absolute
verbal word of honor, supplemented
later by an unqualified written obH-
CATION, you almost at once. not
months, but years, before the primary,
went to work canvassing for your re-
election as clerk. without the slightest
intimation to me of your change.

James r.. MOOrhead for Tax Assessor
To my friends who supported me in
the campaign of two years ago, I ex-
tend thanks, and with the best of feel
ing toward those who expressed their
preference otherwise, I again respect
fully present my name to you as can
didate for the office Of tax assessor for
Marion county.
My record for the past twenty-e light
years is before you, and if the same
justifies you in casting vote my way,
I assure you that it will be duly ap-
preciated, and know that you will
never have cause to regret it.
1t would afford me great pleasure to
make a personal canvass and meet
you in your homes, but time and means
forbid, therefore will leave my claim in
your hands for your worthy considera-
ton.
All I ask of you is to be given a
chance, and I will prove to you that 1t
does not require years of experience to
become a good assessor. It is unfair to
measure my corn in some others half
bushel, besides a new broom does sweep
| mighty clean. James r. Moorhead.

myself as a candidate for the office Of
county Judge of Marion county, sub

trust this venture on my part will not

believe myself to be fully competent
to perform all the duties connected
with the office. I have knowledge Of
bookkeeping and, as to my efficiency
in this line of work, 1 can refer you
confidently to one of the largest busi-

before the supreme court of Florida
and was admitted to the bar to prac-
tice law. 1 am just a Marion county
boy, claiming the privilege our govern
ment grants to each individua1-the
privilege Of seeking and holding office.
Now, my friends and fellow demo-
Gratis, 1 ask you to take the trouble to
inquire as to who and what I am, and,
if from these inquiries, you are salts
fed that I am competent and merit
your support, I will appreciate your
confidence and will, if elected to the
office of county judge, never betray
your trust.
I would be glad to canvass every
precinct in the county and thus meet
each and every voter face to face, but
this; on account of meager funds, I
cannot do, so will have to ask you to
give my candidacy due consideration
and. if you find that 1 measure up to
true and perfect standard, you will
cast your vote in my favor.
Very truly yours,

PROF. BRINSON'S REPLY
TO MIR. McCULL

Editor Star: In your issue Of the
1st inst. your Berlin correspondent
Mr. S ]. McCully, indulges in a crit
icism of the management of the Eel
lowship school under the present ad
in the Berlin items. Had
he consulted the trustees of the school
why the school ran but six months the
present term. 1t was agreement
made between them and the county
board last summer in order to enable
the district to as nearly as possible
extricate herself from the embarrass-
ing financial condition into which she
had been plunged while Mr.. McCulty
was on the board of trustees This has
been largely accomplished though
there is still a deficit of nearly 500.
Also during the last few years the
number of eligible pupils in the com
munity has largely decreased owing to
removals and growing out of school
age The county board for the last
term favored them in the fact that
it paid their school from county funds
S5 per month more than they were en-
titled to have under the regular ratio
and also allowed their assistant TO
continue during the term after .he
average monthly attendance ran be-
low the regulation requirement.
We shall be glad when the Fellow
ship school regains it's former strength
and Will be as liberal as possible, but
lit is expecting a little too much to
look to the county admistration to fur
|nish both money and pupils.
