MALICIOUSLY FALSE

Strongly resenting the speech at
tributed to F. A. Wood by the Jack

Wood said that Mr.. Farris is sup
porting Sidney j. Cats, the indepen-
dent candidate for governor, Mr..
Farris has sent the following special
dispatch to The Journal, denying the
allegation.
Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 5.-"The
statement of Frank A. Wood in a
speech at st. Petersburg Saturday
night, as reported in Sundays Times
Union, that spoke in Tampa Satur-
day night in behalf of Cats, is un-
qualifie6ly false.
81 have not been in Tampa since
last June, and have made no speeches
for Cats in Tampa or elsewhere. It
is reported also, that Mr.. Wood said
in the course of his speech that / am
cooperating with Mr.. George M.
Powell and doing everything in my
power to elect Cats governor, and
that he has the proof of this asser-
ton. l denounce this statement as
maiiciously false, and / challenge
and defy Mr.. Wood to produce the
proof that he claims to have.
"Mr. Wood also said, if he is quot
ed correctly. that am known every
where as the recognized representa-
tive of the whiskey element ! brand
that statment as an unvarnished lie.
81 have always been local option
list; believing this to be the demo-
cratic and most effective remedy
against the liquor traits. Mr.. Wood
courted the support of the liquor ele-
ment and claimed in Pensacola, Jack
sonville, Tampa and Key West to
/ have it. Cowardly hypocrite that he
is, he undertook to carry water on
both shoulders claiming to be a
wet man in wet territory and dry
man in dry territory, and judging by
the vote he received as a candidate

caught him in his double dealing.

LARGE AUDIENCE AT
THE KNOX CHURCH

At last nights services, Knox
Presbyterian Church was well filled
with members and number of visi-
tors, and those who were present
heard what was considered one of the
most impressive of sermons from
Rev. Mr.. Phillips, who, preceding this
part of the service, made statement
to those present bearing upon the
sermon of a week previous, which had
caused so much comment.
The statement, covering number
of phases of the question which had
been raised, was entirely voluntary
on the part of the young minister,
and it made deep impression, ac-
cording to expressed opinions after
the service.
