four speaking engagements now, will
make only a limited number of speech
es and no extended canvassing of the

ment made here. His speaking cam

The presidential candidate outlined
his views on stump speeches in the
following words:
Il am not going to make any eX-
tended stumping tours. There will
not be any large number Of speeches
away from New Jersey, II is the gen
eral judgment that this is the most
effective way 10 conduct this cam

most effective method Of conducting a
campaign. l may make a considera-

we met as members of the citizens
committee to try to settle the street

That have never asked Senator
Bryan nor any other member of the
Florida delegation whom he expected
to endorse for any federal appoint
ment; neither have I told them about
my own preferences.
That my friends come to see me at

months, and among those appeared the

Good old Uncle Peter L. Durisoe of
Conner is indulging in some reminis-
cences these days. Mr.. Durisoe came
here from South Carolina in 1866, and
SO lacks but four years of having been
in Marion county half a century. He
remembers well the days of recon
struetion, when the country citizens
had to come all the way to Ocala TO
vote, and says the boys and girls of
today have no idea how rough life was
then. Mr.. Durisoe sends cordial in
vitation to the Star to be represented
at Oklawaha Bridge church tomorrow,
on which date Mr.. Edward NJ Hender-
son, son of County Commissioner Hen
derson, and graduate of the Ocala
high school, will be ordained to the
work Of the ministry. It is not possi-
BILE for the writer to attend, but he
hopes some day soon to visit that
favored section and meet its hospit-
able people, whose names, if not their
faces, have been familiar to him the
last dozen years.
