Paaa Business Men Endorse Sam. J. HILbJRN For Congress
THE PRIDE OF
OLDssPUTNAM
To THE VOTERS OF PUTNAM
COUNTY:

COUNTY:
Long before the days of
the present generation, Old
Putnam County attained a
standard of loyalty which
has never been shattered by
clique, party or factional en-
tanglements. Her standard
has been the highest aim to-
ward maintaining the dignity
of democracy. d Her sons have
labOred and fought, some
times against heaviest odds,
to maintain that dignity and
have always been victorious.
They have upheld that pres
tige established by their fore
fathers and to-day Putnam
county's sons number among
the representative m en-
wherever they may be found.
Putnam's staunch Demo-
cratic ranks have stood un-
-fiinchingly before the fires of
more than one battle and
each time her sons have
come out unscared, eager
for another fight to prove
the worth of their county.
Our local fights are among
ourselves and we wish the
best man all the success due
him, but when a question of
National Importance pre-
sents itself, one that every
loyal-hearted county man
should feel interested in, es-
pecially when we find one of
our own sons fighting to
place his county in the fore
most ranks of the National
Capital, then it is time for
every loyal hearted citizen
to assert his power to assist
in upholding. the pride and
dignity of his county.
Old Putnam's loyal Demo-
Gratis have stood together in
the past and they are not
lukeWarm now. The final
count will tell the story on
the 30th, for to-day old Put
nam is facing a proposition
whereby she will be adver-
tised over the state as main
tanning her old standard of
loyalty, or the press outside
of the state will put her down
as a people parted from the
old precedent established by
her pioneers and unable to
uphold her standard.
Do the good people of our
county want such advertise
ment over the state and
nation? No, a thousand
times no!
The business men, in their
paid advertisements in this
issue, have voiced their SEN
timents and as fair, public
spirited men, let's 60 to the
polls on the 30th, and cast
our votes for Sam. j. Hilburn
for Congress. Let us put
Palatka and Putnam County
on the National map. Let's
put in Putnam'S SOn-lay
aside all petty feelings

a GREATER DISTRICT-put

asserted to-day that existing treaties could
not prevent preferential toll rates for
American-owned vessels.

said that We must pay tolls on our

that all ships Of all nations shall he treated
