Toomer Takes The Stump.

VIM. M. Toomer, candidate for Con
gresham at large, spent Wednesday in
the city and on the evening of that day
addressed a fair.Sized audience at the
Orphem Theater. Mr. Toomer Is a
really cute and Immediately dressed
little man and presented most dignifi-
ed and altogether stunning appearance
as he stood before the footlightS. He
is an impressive talker. His history,
either written by himself or with his
approval, is probably familiar TO most of
our readers as il is just now occupying a
conspicuous place in the leading news
papers of the state. Other, and much
more entertaining portions of his life
story, and of which Mr.. Toomer seems
not 10 be especially proud, are being
told in the same newspapers by Mr..
Claude L'Engle. The voters, while
not paying much money, are taking
their choice, and this choice seems TO
be largely in favor of the Claude
L'Engle version.

We also have vivid recollection thai
you have belituled with your verbal on,
I Slaughts every Governor that Florida
has had for sixteen years, characterizing
the late Francis P. Fleming, man held
in respected memory by every Floridian
with the possible exception of yourself,

denominated the late Governor Brow

the vialS OF your illtempered abuse
upon him; Ex-Governor Jennings you
have publicly proclaimed to be "sneak
and a coward" and recently in the
halls OF Congress you reared up on your
hind legs and for sensational purposes
referred TO the present Governor of the
State as "pin head" How have you
the assurance, Sir, TO stand before an
intelligent Florida audience and say that
you have never "Slung mud2" How can
it be possible in the face of such things,
commonly known, for you to indite in
your letter TO The News, which we have
through courtesy, and through courtesy

can you assume, with the knowledge of
guilt that would mantle with shame the
face of less shameless individual than

JUDGE HASKELL
STRONG FOR
HILBURN

To the voters at the second priamar,
election of the Democratic party, il
Putnam County:
We should realize that we have al
opportunity to render a valuable servic,
to our fellow citizen, Hon. Samuel ]
f1ilburn, who is a candidate for Con
greSS from the Second District
Very few men ever reach that prom
inence in public life where such an op
portunily is their good fortune.
Very few men OF Putnam County
have ever been favored with that polili
cal prominence, that has made il posi-
BILE for them TO be considered as factor
in such race.
Justice and unSelfsh pride in the sue
cess and prosperity of our fellow citizen
who seeks your aid NOW, ought TO de
mand that aid, as fair expression oil
your appreciation of his achievements
and the honor that will come TO Putnam
County, by his election.
Perhaps know Sam" as well as any
man in this county; and ! clearly recall
the time, nearly 20 years ago, when he
displayed his shingle" here at Palatka,
and begun the practice of his chosen
profession.
No financial backing was his; no Soc
ial prestige; no alliance with established
business; everything was ahead, TO be
won, and only that essential factors
necessary to permanent success, his; the
capacity and determination 10 succeed.
And Sam" has succeeded; as to
which, his real friends rejoice; and
those who are not, cannot say may;
am of opinion that the qualities that
most conSpired to this end, were keen
mentality; an honest and determined
purpose TO deserve the appreciation of
his fellows; his industry; and his fidelity
10 those whom he represented.
No man in the positions he has held,
at the bar; as private citizen; as a SER
want of the people; as man who HAS
DONE THINGS, but would have run
counter 10 the interests OF many; and
ii is not surprising to me that everybody
is not favorable to his laudable ambition.
We are apt TO worship at diStanc,
and not do fair justice 10 those whom
we see every day.
The fact is that we have right here at
home ''the peers" of any in our fair
Florida
Sam" Hilburn's campaing in this eff
fort of his life, must command the atten
tion and respect of every fair minded
voter in the district, and we should
fully appreciate that his election means
much to u.s..
For myself subscribe TO being one
who is not jealous of anotherS PREFER.
ment; or success or prosperity, and if
had any such conditions of mind, for
the greater and more important reasons
above, should lay them aside and vote
for Mr. Hilburn.
The time is short; the duty plain;
vote for Hilburn.

IN preparation for the election in No

1t transpires that three State COM
mittees. those of the republicans, demo-
Gratis ana progressives. will conduct
a vigorous canvass from now on until
the date OF the national election, and
MAINTAIN active headquarters with
branches In different parts of the
State.
Tho State democratic committee at
a meeting In Montpelier decided to
canvass the situation thoroughly In
connection with every town commit

Will be made to get out the vote.
The republicans have announce their

HON. ALLEN N. FLETCHER, GOV.
ERNOR.

The election Of Hon. Allen M.
Fletcher as governor by the Legisla-
ture in joint assembly last week by
the han lsome majority OF 65 over all
rival candidates closes an episode in
which national politics obscured State
ana local issues to a marked degree.
The situation was without parallel
In Vermont. In 1902 conditions some :
what resembled those prevailing IA
the State campaign of 1912, but the
local republican bolt that year result
ed simply in the failure of the peoplc
to elect Gen. Mccullough governor all
the other State officers having been
elected In September.
This year the placing in the field Of
a third term State ticket resulted IN
the failure of all the candidates on
the republican ticket to secure an
election at the polls The people OF
Vermont now fully understand the
animus behind the attempt to show
Mr.. Fletcher to have pulled down the
ticket. when as matter OF faot the
outcome was due to the injection of
national politics INTO the State cam
paign. Mr.. Fletcher and Mr. Plum.
ley as candidate for speaker received
support so nearly equal that 1t Ia
manifest practically the full party
strength was polled for tho Governor
despite assertions that he would be
knifei In the secret ballot
The result shows that Vermont re-
publicans are honorable men as we'll
as thoroughly loyal to their party
and are not given to promising to do
one thing publically while determine
or determining to do some other thing,
and not let the people know about II
until afterward. as Mr.. Roosevelt SAYS
he thought he was helping the repub-
l'can candidate for the governorshIp
Of Maine to do Under the circum-
stances there Is every reason for con.
graduation upon the happy outcome
Of the governor election in Vermont.
Few governors ever entered the ex
ecutive chamber at Montpelier with
less campaign pledges to redeem than
has Mr.. Fletcher. In point of fact
ne Ia under haniicapping obligation
to no man. and az a result he II left
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1912-10-10

entirely free to do what he believes
to be for the best interests of the peo-
pie of Vermont.
Now that we know Mr.. Fletcher is
to be governor for the next two years.
we can repeat what we have already
sard about his determination TO give
in him. without engendering any sus-
picion that 1t Is said for effect upon
any contest,
From a somewhat intimate relation
with Governor Fletcher we are able
to say that he has privately repeated
many times his desire to see Vermont
flourish and develop Turing his admin
istration as never before. ana n the
Legislators of all parties carry out
the pledges made in their state plat
FORMS he will have the united sup
port OF the Legislature in most OF the
great works ne has under considera-
ton for the uplift OF Vermont.
Our people are In no mood to brook
further remissness on the part Of any
legislator in the matter OF meeting
the popular demand for remedial ami
legislation. and we are
confident Governor Fletcher VIII have
the hearty and enthusiastic co-opera-
ton OF our lawmakers In seeking to
promote the development of the ma.
terial resources of our State as we'll
as the educational. social and Indus
trial progress of our beloved common
wealth
