be filed and an opportunity afforded
for the slandered man to plead to

luded to by the term special inter-

No doubt the calculations of the
logicians of the Stockton headquar-
tiers is that the bare suggestion of
underlined monstrosities will by the
usually potent aid of Imagination
present such horrific images to the
public mind as to arouse the panic
fear of the voters and drive them in
an unreasoning drove to the shelter
of the camp of the grandfather of
ressivism-backwa But the
people have heard these underlined
and indeterminate innuenGoes so
often that they are beginning to de-
mand diagrams and specifications.
They are beginning to rather sus-
pect that that at which the goose
flesh rose on their bodies and the
hairs of their heads stood on end
was only the old halloe'en pumpkin
with a candle inside after all.

Considerable latitude must be al

are stating that Senator Fletcher

ed the realm of pure fiction They
are making statements that Senator
Fletcher disproves by the official re-

STOCKTON OR HIS FRIENDS
PULLED OFF A BAD STUNT

Tampa Times: If fair minded
unbiased and we'll informed state
pClitician-if there is one, to be
found in Florida-had been asked
two weeks ago which of the senatori-
al candidates had the better chance
in the approaching primary he might
perhaps have offered to decide it by
the flip of a coin; but today nine
read the signs and have no motives
for obscuring judgment will say
without hesitation Fletcher is going
to win hands down"
And this great Transformation in
the outlook has been brought about
by the action of the .'hoodooed" can
didate himself prompted and Undue
ed by the advice of his managers. 1t
all comes from the declination of
Stockton to meet Fletcher on the
stump. 1t was a happy thought-in
short, little less than an inspiration
that challenge to Stockton sent by
Fletcher. 1t placed the said Stock
ton in the proverbially difficult geo.
graphical position described as be
tween the devil and the deep sea,
and he was forced to choose between
two alternatives, either of which was
equivalent to political ruin; namely,
to meet Fletcher on the stump and
be routed horse, foot and dragons
and to refuse to do so and be brand
ed as a political coward by people
who admire above all things courage
and despise a gutter.
There is a widespread sentiment
that is being expressed by the people
wherever they meet that Stockton
should in common justice and fair
ness have met his antagonist face to
face and repeated in his presence in
plain language the substance of the
innuendoes that Stockton and his
friends have been circulating and
have allowed Fletcher an opportuni-
ty to refute them.
Instead the stock ISLANDERS of the
Stockton men, that Fletcher is a re
dictionary" whatever that may mean,
and that he allied with the special
interests" continue to be passed
around sub rosa without specific

PUT OCALA ON
THE SPORTING PAGE

Mr.. G. w. Hunter, manager of the
Ocala team, has received the fol-
lowing from Mr.. G. "a Phillips, as
sistant general passenger agent of
the Sea board, who is greatly inter-
ested in baseball affairs and desires
to help make Ocala baseball head
quarters for big team:
Jacksonville, Fla, May 1, 1914.
Mr.. C. W. Hunter
Dear Sir: | sent out a letter
some days ago to all our representa-
tiyes with regard to Ocala getting a
major or international league team,
also to Mr.. Connie Mack, manager
of the Philadelphia Athletics, and
Mr.. Mack wrote me on the 9th stat
ing that he would like to do any
thing he can to help us getting a
team at Ocala, but that the PROPOSE
ton as outlined in my letter would
not appeal to the International
league teams, and that to get one
Of the international league teams at
Ocala a bonus of $1,000 would have
to be offered.
He says that the proposition of
furnishing good ball grounds at
Ocala and club house with shower
baths and the team being able to get
good hotel accommodations at a reas-
enable rate might appeal to one of
the major league teams who could
AFFORD to take up proposition of
that kind, but an international
league team such as Baltimore, Buff
falo or Rochester would have to be
offered some kind of an induce
ment.
Let me know what you think of
this, and whether your association
could offer any money inducement to
get an international league team To-
Gated at Ocala, or simply continue
10 try and get a major league team
on the proposition of furnishing the
grounds and allowing the major
league team the receipts from the
exhibition games.
Yours very truly,
G. Z. Phillips.
This is an important matter, and
one that should be kept in mind all
summer and acted upon early in the
autumn. Southern practice grounds
are in great favor with the big
northern teams, and wherever they
take up their quarters they bring
much money as we'll as large
amount Of attention to the town.
Jacksonville, Tampa, ST. Augustine
and st. Petersburg have found en-
tertaining these teams a paying
proposition. Ocala can easily raise
the amount of money required if
our people pull together as they do
on other things. Lets go to work
and try to make Ocala famous on the
sporting page.

One of the funniest as we'll as
most pitiful things now before the

trying to give valid reasons why its

Fletcher on the platform. Oft

reasons why he should not meet an
other boy in contests of strength or
