I am a candidate for county judge Of
Marion county, subject to the demo-
cratic primaries. During the last
three years, while 1 worked as book
keeper during the day, I studied law
at night and January last I went be-
fore the supreme court and was ex-
amined upon twenty-three branches of
American law Zone of which was Am
erican law of administrator and was
admitted to practice law in all the
courts of Florida. This fact will as
sure you that I am competent to per-
form all the duties of county judge.
Now, my friends and fellow demo-
Gratis, I ask you to take the trouble to
inquire as to who and what 1 am, and,
If from these inquiries, you are salts
fed that l am competent and merit
your support. I will appreciate your
confidence and will, If elected to the
office of county judge. never betray
your trust. w. E Smith.

Judge of Marion county, subject to the
democratic primary to be held on the
Goth day of April. and in so doing I am

content myself with placing my name
before the people as best I can. I have
no influential or wealthy friends or
relatives on whom to rely for support
in furthering my candidacy, but rely
entirely on the wishes of the people as
expressed at the polls. should they see
it to honor me with the Office, shall
endeavor to fully compensate by faith
full attention to the duties of the Of
fice, should they see fit to refuse me
the office, I shall accept their choice
without criticism, as my struggles and
disappointments in life have been too
many to allow 1t to deter me in my
efforts to meet with success in my
chosen profession. 1 am not a polite
ian within the meaning Of one con-
stantly seeking an office, and am now
asking for office only for the reason
that I feel capable Of filing it to the
satisfaction of all, and that it will ma
terially aid me in many ways in my
profession.
1 assure those who see fit to support
me of my sincere appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
VIM. NJ. Gober.
