is RUNNING AS AN INDEPEND.
ENT

Mr.. Cats has already started on
his campaign as an independent. By
not awaiting the result of the pending
proceedings to secure an accurate and
correct count in Hamilton, DuvaI,
Putnam, st. Lucie, Nassau, Orange
and other counties, he has practically
admitted that correct count of the
first and second choice votes will show
that / was in fact the real nominee of
the party in the late primary elec-
tion. For my part, I am perfectly
willing for him to run as an independ-
ent, for, judging from his public ut
terances on the stump and in the
press, he is not now democrat and
never has been.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-08-08
has stated that detective has discov-
cred that the boxes were opened at
midnight, etc.
PROBABLY ANOTHER PHILo
GUBB

If such is the case, the detective
should continue his investigation, and
ascertain who opened them and fur
nish the proof. Nobody would be
more interested or anxious than I
to have the offending parties brought
to justice and punished to the full ex-
tent of the law.

WHAT HAS CATS DONE FOR
FLORIDA

Has he worked for Florida and help
ed to bear her burden, or done any
thing to entitle him to be the chief
magistrate of this state?
All of these / submit are serious
questions which all true and loyal
democrats of this state should stop
and consider.

SOMETHING FOR THE
VOTERS To CONSIDER
Mr.. KNOTT PRESENTS HIS CASE TO THE DEM
OCRATS Of FLORIDA
To the Democrats of Florida:

To the Democrats of Florida:
Friday, August A, an article ap-
peared in the Florida Metropolis, 4pur-
porting to emanate from Cats advis-
ers, from which I quote the third and
sixth paragraphs, as follows:
CATS HAS TURNED INQUIsITOR
each county official in Florida, and
each nominee to county Office will be
asked the direct question whether or
not he is supporting Cats. Unequivo-
cal replies are expected, and, as a
matter of fact, will be more or less de-
manded, as the machine figures it is
in position to force the opponents of
Mr.. Cats from the cover of equivocal
answers to such questions.
The newly-formed, or newborn
effort is to be an aggressive one, TAX
ing the offensive in the political situ-
alton and is designed to force we'll
covered and subtle opposition from
county officials and officials-elect and
their individual followings out into
the light, where the 42-centimeter
campaign guns can be trained into
range and where the mortars or or
ganized influence can get into action.
WHAT is HIS MOTIVE?
What do these utterances mean !?
Are the democrats through their ex-
ecutive committees, to have no voice
in the selection of appointees Will
Mr.. Cats, if elected governor, trump
up charges against all judges who
may render decisions against him in
this contest, and against all sheriffs
and other officers who may perform
acts not of his liking, remove them
from Office and appoint his own
choice?
Again, have you investigated what
manner of politics this man professed
in the state from which he came, or
what manner of man he was there?

DEFENDANT WINS SUIT.
John B. Henderson, Directed by First
Jury to Pay $4,000.

The Supreme Court of Maine at
Augusta yesterday rendered an opin--
ion in favor of John B. Henderson,
of Washington, in suit alleging
breach of promise brought by Eliza
beth Garmong, who sought damages
of $25O,OO0.
In the lower court at Bangor last
year the jury awarded Miss Garmong
$4,000.
At new trial last spring the award
was reduced to $4,000, with the fur
thcr stipulation that this amount
should be paid only in the event that
the Supreme Court upheld Miss Gar
mong's contention that Henderson had
promised to marry her.
Henderson at one time resided In
Alexandria county, and several years
ago was the republican candidate for
Congress from this district.
