To The Citizens of Sumter County:
| hereby respectfully announce ny
candidacy for the office OF Judge #
the City Govt OF Americas, subject e
the action of the Democratic primary
to be held on March 2ls1, 1912.
This being a judicial office, l can
not conceive that any particular IS
sues or stipulated platforms could be
involved, believing as l do that any
candidate who might go upon the
bench a partisan as to any issue or
platform would be unfit material for
the office.
If nominated, l pledge faithful al
legiance to the constitution and laws
of our country and an administrator
of justice, directed by such wisdom,
controlled by such moderation and
tempered by such sense OF mercy as
am capable of bringing to bear.
Respectfully,

MA YES THANKS TIE VOTERS

To the Voters of the Third Congress
stonal District of Florida.
i am deeply grateful for the splen-
did vote given me for National Dele
gate in the primary of April 30 and
the expression Of confidence which il
Indicates. This expression of conf
dence is all the more marked and
gratifying because, while you expressed
your preference for Mr.. Underwood for
president, you gave me, supporter Of
Woodrow Wilson, the largest vote of
all the candidates for delegate. / shall
therefore in obedience to my primary
pledge and to your wishes. support Mr.,
Underwood in the convention just as
/ would have supported Governor Will
son had you endorsed him.
In the first primary you elected
Judge ]. F. G. Griggs and myself as
delegates from this district You will
in the primary of May 20 vote for
FOUR candidates for delegates from
the state at large, and ONE candidate
for national committeeman.
Having elected Judge Griggs and
myself to represent you. 1 hope you
can help eject delegation at large
that will work with us for Mr.. Under
wood and for Progressive platform
and democratic success this year
IN selecting these men you will have
to choose for delegates between four
original Wilson men and four original
Harmon men. All of them, however,
are now for Underwood. The four
original Wilson men represent the
Progressive idea in politics. The four
original Harmon men represent the
Stand pat or Reactionary idea in poll
tics.
The importance of having the right
kind of national committeeman lies
in the fact that he will have to help
manage the national campaign for
president and he should be a man who
is in sympathy with the Progressive
sentiment of the party and who can
help wage a successful fight after tho
candidate is nominated. Mr.. Crawford
Is that kind Of man.
/ hope you can vote and ask your
friends to vote for the Progfessives.
They will be just as loyal to-Hdr. I'm
derwood as the Reactionaries will be
and they Will, in addition, be able to
help write a Progressive platform and
get ready for a winning campaign this
fall. can think Of nothing more dan
gerous to democratic success than that
the platform should be written by men
of the Judge Harmon idea in politics.
To insure the election of these candi-
dates you should vote for the FIRST
name for national committeeman and

In the interest of internal revenue
tax payers in this state In general and

would respectfully suggest that you
call their attention through the me-
dunn OF your valued journal to the
fact that these taxes become due and
exigible before the first of July, and

ties both civil and criminal for failure
to conform to the law. 1t is the de-
sire for the government and of this
once to acquaint tax payers with their
obligations with a view of assisting
them to avoid mourning the penalties
resulting from delinquency. Special
tax payers should understand that
while failure to make application for
internal revenue tax stamps within
the calendar month in which business
is commenced or continued, will sub
ject them to the statutory penalty of
so per cent additional yet the conduct
of business without a payment OF the
tax, even for one day, will involve
them in criminal liability and to the
payment of fine of not less than 500
nor more than $1,000, and imprison-
ment for not less than 80 days or more
than two years.
