the sum at which the Outlook values

Early in the campaign and before

publication got an accident policy OF

MAURA-sc SCOTT WEDDING
ON OCTOBER q,

Few announcements have been re-
ceived with greater interest and pleas
ure than that of the approaching mar
riage of Miss Helen Scott Of Atlanta
to DR.. Frank Rutledge Maura, which
will take place on Wednesday, October
23rd. to be very quietly celebrated at
the home Of the bride-elect's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John R Scott, AZ Ponce
de Leon Place, Atlanta.
Miss Scott is a lovely, petite blonde,
who has added to the charm of her
beauty much grace and cordially Of
manner, and during her residence in
Pensacola, though but a school girl,
made many friends in the older set
as well by her beauty of character.
DR.. Maura is a physician of promi-
nence and has won distinction in his
profession. He is a graduate of Tu-
lane, and Immediately after his gradu-
alton in 1898 saw service in the Span
ish-American war, entering as a lieu
tenant, and acting as assistant surgeon
throughout the war, going first to Cuba
and later being in service in the Phil
ippines. On his return to the states
he had an important position with the
quarantine service in Florida, and Is

Roosevelt's national headquarters and
he sent to Chicago for literature to
distribute among the white Democratic
voters of the state. Pleasant Holt
gave him a list Of Democratic voters
and Anderson and Holt were working
tremendously together to send out this
literature to the white men Of Florida.
Among the literature was Theodore

and a lot of other Bull Moose stuff
showing that Roosevelt as Progress

But there was other literature that
the Bull Moose headquarters sent to
Florida which is being secreted by
some of the Florida Bull Moses.
Some of these have fallen into my
possession, and 1t fully sustains my
charges that the Bull Moose favors the

Decent White Men Should Think. q
I appeal to southern men-to de-
cent white men from every state who
have made Florida their adopted
home, to study closely the above para
graphs. Mr.. Roosevelt endorses the
platform which denounces race dis
elimination in cafes and public amuse-
ments. He says that your wives and
daughters are none too good to sit
side by side in a theatre with a greasy
negro male or female and watch a
performance; he says that your wives
and daughters should sit at the same
table with negroes in hotels. restau-
rants and soda fountains. He en-
dorses the platform published above.
Read it again and then contemplate 1t
seriously.
I appeal to our Democratic orators
now making a canvass of the state,
appeal to our Democratic editors to
call especial attention to this platform
of which Mr.. Roosevelt says: Il am
delighted with It."

been fooled by the cry Of progressive

they should place no confidence In the
