shall not run for office
Louis and Henry.
More than 200 years ago LOUIS XIV
said: am the state
Our friend Henry Kelly might al
most saw. I am the municipality.
Are you going to stand for that sort
There is one man on this ticket that
I wish to say something for. When 1
was on the bench 1 knew him as faith
full servant I do not antagonize Pey-
ton Edwards, for whom 1 have q high
regard. But I know that Ed Bryant
(ApplauSe) was a faithful, honest,
efficient officer. No stain attaches TO
him All men looked alike to him ex-
cept the man who was not Mt Tor jury
service and Ed Bryant never broughss
him to court. know as matter OF
recent history that when called to the
witness stand to testify as to the AFFAIRS
Of the police department of the city
place, and his family's bread and but
ter, like a truthful man he told the
truth. (Applause.)
Continued Power Dangerous.
Long and continuous power becomes
dangerous. That is why we do not
want third term. A man becomes
master instead of servant 1t is the
duty of every man TO take an interest
in politics. Clean the local offices, and
then the state and national onlceS
will be clean. Do it and you have
government by the people and for the
people. It is your duty, regardless OF
as you believe to be best. not for your
own interest, but best for the people
and for the municipality"

judge Goggin, the next mayor Of FL
Stepping to the front of the stand.
Judge Goggin said: Il thank you for
your cheer and your high esteem but 1
came before you, not as candidate for
for the public good"
W. B. Ware then announced meet
ing for next Thursday evening at
CleYeland square, when the campaign
would be closed with speeches by r. V.
Bowden Charles owen, Dan Jackson
and others. He also said that judge
Eylar had asked him to go to Austin
to work for the court of appeals and
said to ask Kelly if he was not SpoheS-
man of the committee. He also an
sWered a note sent to him from the
audience asking II Socialist votes would
be counted. He explained that as it
was a Democratic primary, only Demo-
cratic votes would be counted. But

eve are going to beat this bunch
on the 27th," Ware continued. We are
going to beat them in the fall We beat
them at Houston and we will beat them
next spring and until they are all out"
Ring Credits.
Judge Leigh Clark was the next
speaker. In a sarcastic tone he pro-
ceeded to read a long list of ring
credits" which he said they were en-
They say that they are entitled to
the credit for the building of the Mills
building" judge Clark said. Il know
that the hardest obstacle Horace B.
Stevens had to overcome in getting Gen.
Mills to build was the high rate of
taxation in the city and county.
They claim the credit for the Pear
Alright. I think that James G. McNary,
of the First National bank, did more
than all the ring to secure the mills.
The Sewer Plant.
"The ring is entitled to the credit
for the sewage disposal plant. Haugh-
teri We all know of It or if We go
down the county road. will know that
the sewage disposal plant is a menace
a monumental and abortive failure.
I will not say that this is due to the
dishonesty of any combine but I must
conclude that it is due to the incom-
potency of the ring. Yes. SOS. 600
worth of incOmpetency. Yet they say
that we have never proved a single
charge. 1t is difficult to prove a self
evident fact. If you go down the county
road the atmosphere made malodorous
by the gases from the sewage lake will
be proof as strong as the holy writ, for
it smells 10 heaven.
More Ring Credits.
1.-THE ring is also credited with
paying 100000 or 100000 more than
they should for the waterworks; also
it is entitled to all the credit it can get
for the way it has been run: also for
the disease breeding water holes in the
streets after it rains; also for the own
ership of the red light district within
two blocks of the business section;
also for the payment of $4,000 to Park
Pitman for indeXing the county books.
The ring is also credited with the
books of the city. The auditors say
that by the double entry system of
bookkeeping thousands of dollars will
be saved per annum. It must follow
then that the city has lost thousands
of dollars
Some More Ring Credits.
''They are entitled to credit for the
unsanitary condition of the county
Jail. which has been reported by the
grand jury for the water bills soaring
