terly Attacked by Re-
publicans.

That the House Appropriations Com

Mann Republicans, indulged In bitter
attack on the Democratic rule, Whcn
they said would enable the House 10
avoid record vote on the slxty-nSe
year prohibition applying to the Govern
ment clerks and other drastic FEATURES
OF the bill.
At this point, Congressman johnson
of south Carolina informed the House
that there probably would DE COIL
promise on this legislation, and that tne
committee did not propose 10 stanu I'll, up
against the overwhelming crlue'snt
AGAINST the sixty-hve-year provision. AZ
the proper time, Johnson said, ne Woulp
Neffer a compromise proposition, when
would eliminate the sixty-hVe-year
clause and which will provide that SoSo
eminent clerks In Washington under tne
ella ssified service shall retire automoau-
cally in 1917, instead OF lsli' q
Five-year Suggestion.
Mr.. johnson also indicated that the
committee might compromised on me
ave-year provision of the bill, wmch
stimulates that Government employees III

service on an annual salary basis shau
be appointed for only five years.

I am a candidate for county judge Of
Marion county, subject to the demo-
cratic primaries. During the last
three years, while I worked as book
keeper during the day, l 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 administration 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, L ask you to take the trouble to
inquire as to who and what I am, and,
if from these inquiries, you are salts
fed flat I 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 ". E Smith.

ing toward those who expressed their
preference otherwise, l again respect
fully present my name to you as a can
ddate for the office of tax assessor for
Marion county.
My record for the past twenty-eight
years is before you, and if the same
justifies you in casting a vote my way,
I assure you that it will be duly ap-
preciated, and know that you will
never have cause to regret it.
1t would afford me great pleasure to

your hands for your worthy considera-
ton.
All I ask Of you is to be given a

To the Democratic Voters of Marion
County: l hereby announce myself as
a candidate for the office of county
judge Of Marion county, subject to the
democratic primary to be held on the
both day of April, and in so doing I am
not unmindful of the fact that I am
personally unknown to many Of the
voters of the county, but for the reason
that I have not the money to make an
active canvass of the county, I shall
content myself with placing my name
before the people as best / 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
fit to honor me with the office, I shall
endeavor to fully compensate by faith
full attention to the duties of the Of
fee, 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. I 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 1 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,
