It'll as your democratic representa-
tive against all corners, be they re-
publican. socialist, prohibitionist, in
dependent or what not, and every
elector of this county, by participat-
ing in that democratic primary gave
to each of his fellow democrats and
to each candidate his implied promise
to stand to and abide by the result,
and on November 7th to stand true
to the democratic party and to its
principles, and to support its nomi-
nees in the general election. To
man of honor and of principle an i'm
piled pledge is as binding as an oath.
As is shown by their conduct, Mr.
Gordon, Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Priest
are men of honor and of principle,
and by abiding the result of the pri-
mary of June 9th and lending me their
active support to secure my election
in November are exhibiting to you ma
terial evidence that they are men of
principle and of honor, who are loyal
democrats, ever ready and willing to
abide and respect the will of their par
ty, and men to whom an implied
pledge is solemn, binding obliga-
toni
On November 7th, in the general
election, my name will appear before
you as the democratic nominee for
nrfA nd \
of the fact that on June 9Th the elect
ors of the democratic party actually
cast the greatest number of their
first and second choice votes for me,
and if I were not satisfied that on
that day they did actually cast the
greatest number of their votes for
me, assure you that would not be
now before you as candidate, as
would hold myself too much of man
to be still contending before you for
an office for which you had rejected
me.
AS compared with the sacrifice and
slaughter of democratic principles
and the destruction and disruption
and final defeat of the democratic
party in, this state, the matter of
which man serves you as your sheriff
for the next four years is of small
concern to me, and should be to every
white democrat of Marion county.
On June 9th, after the electors had
deposited their ballots in the boxes
and the polls were closed, it was the
duty of the clerks and inspectors to
correctly count and tabulate the votes
cast for the five candidates for sher-
if, and those votes we're correctly
counted as to numbers, but they were
not, correctly tabulated and credited
to the respective candidates for which
they were in fact cast. Small errors
were found scattered about over the
county, some in my favor and some
in favor of Mr.. Adams, but the most
material error found was that made
in the precinct of Pedro. According
to the ballots actually cast for sheriff
the vote was:

We cut the following excellent ante
election advice from the DeLand
News:
''In the meantime, keep cool. You
and / and the other fellow will have
to live side by side whether Cats or
Allen or Knott happens to receive
the most votes. And bacon will be
just as high whichever wins"

Cats declared in a speech at Plant
City that 1000 negroes were register
ed in Volusia county to vote for Knott.
Anybody but a blanked fool knows
there are not 1000 negro votes in any
county in Florida. There are only a
little over 1000 registered voters in
Volusia county, and at least three
fourths of them are white.

Cats assertion that he will employ
Goethals to drain the everglades is
about like Cats. Any man who would
believe it would be vastly ignorant. It
is to be doubted that Goethals ever
heard of Cats and it's probable that
he never will.

In Santo Domingo, the other day,
where our armed forces are doing
what Mr.. Wilson says it is immoral
for them to do in Mexico, there was a
bloody battle, in which several of our
marines were wounded and in return
shot some forty or fifty of their
dusky assailants.

A CORRECTION

As time passes there is less interest
manifested in Halloween. In contrast
to this fact there is more precaution
taken against the pranks the boys
generally play. Yesterday afternoon
many people could be seen depositing
their gates in safe places, and rid
ding their porches of everything NOV
able, chairs, flower pots, etc. The po-
lice force was increased considerably,
and men were placed in all parts of
town to see that no private property
was destroyed. Another thing, their
regular leaders were not here. Some
have moved their residence from this
city, while others are on the plains of
Texas Ocala Star, Nov. 1.
Editor Star: I think this an unjust
and should be corrected, as
the regular leaders are not on the
plains of Texas, but all that have not
moved away are in the city and the
reason they were not now active is in
your paper of October 81, 1916. I call
your attention to this through justice
to the boys who are men with back
bone enough to be on the plans of
Texas. Very truly,
Geo. C. Woods.
The Star accepts Mr.. Woods cor
rection, but it doesn't think any of
the boys on the border will be ag-
grieved with coupling them with Hal
lowe'en pranks. We've all been there.

who gave no reason for giving him
Self up, is held pending advices from
