The State Editors on
Hilburn.

IN tnlS, appears Inc announcement OF
Hon. Sam ]. Hilburn for congress from
this, the Second district. Weinvite our
readers to scan it carefully and we feel
sure they will be unable TO find flaw
in il.
We hope, and believe, that Sam Hill
burn will be elected.
Because, he has the ability to repre-
sent US efficiently and well.
Because, he does not wear railroad
corporation collar.
Because, he is honest and you can de-
pend on him TO do what he says.
Because, he is progressive democrat
and believes in government by the
people and the election by the people
of all public officials from United States
senators TO constables.
Because, the people of his home, Pa
latka and Putnam county, have thor
oughly tried and tested him as private
citizen, legislator and senator, they have
weighed him in the scales of honest ca
pability and measured him with the
yardstick of faithful public service and
he has shown sixteen ounces TO the
pound and to be all wool and yard
wide.
We will not knowingly help elect any
man TO office who does not believe in a
government by the people, nor one who
wears railroad corporation collar.
Sam Hilburn is the man who will
serve the people.
Give him the opportunity TO do So-
Jasper News.
Col. Samuel ]. Hilburn, candidate for
Congress from this district, was at De-
Land Wednesday, accompanied by MIR.
S. A. Baker, of Seville. Col. Hilburn
is making a thorough canvass of the
district, and says he feels indeed much
encouraged over his prospects for sue
cess at the primary; that he is quite GER
tain of winning the nomination at the
| first primary. Mr. HilbuIn is state sena-
tor from Putnam county, and one of the
cleaneSt and best men in Florida, and
yolusia will give him big vote.-De-
Land Record.
Candidate Clark challenges his op-
ponentS TO meet him in debate, the
challenge being published in the Jack
SonviIie papers, and then when Candi-
date Hilburn replies through the same
medium Clark says it is political bun
comb. Now, honestly, Mabel, isn't
Frank a peach.-Lake City Index.
S. ]. Hilburn has accepted Frank
Clark's challenge for joint debate, and
R. Hudson Burr says he is ready, too.
The congressional race in the second
district promises TO be a very lively
fight. Hilburn has already begun send
ing out literature and Burr will begin
next week. Clark has press bureau
working overtime in Washington and
ne has one advantage over his oppon-
ents. He gets alleged news matter
booming him for reelection, in the
Times Union and the evening paper
free. The TimeS-Union is willing, of
course, and the other don't know when
it is being worked" TO fragile. Huff
aker knows the ropes, laughs in his
sleeves and thinks how dead easy it is
TO pull one over journalistic nincom-
poop. This race promises TO be close
lin this district. Hilburn has developed
much unexpected strength, while Burr
gets votes when he gets busy. Clark an
the other hand has no superior as cam
paigner-Dixie
And Clark and Hilburn are TO have it
out on the stump together, and there
will be pretty hot times between them,
as both are fighters and eloquent speak
erS.-DeLand Record
