ed and believed in and but for whom
this land would probably now be
monarchy. The speaker said that ne
was rightfully and honorably entlt-
led to his title as Father OF His Coun-
try.
He pictured Lincoln as rising from
his lowly position in birth and en-
vironment to that of president OF the
nation and of taking on his shoulders
one of the greatest burdens the ma
ton has ever been called on to carry
and also carrying it to safety. For
this Lincoln was rightfully entitled
to the title of the Nations Saviour
and will last in the memory OF Amer
leans forever. He praised the G. A.
R. for the part they had taken in
gaining the end. for which Lincoln
had bled. z....t,;.
=. Again holding out Washington and
Lincoln, the speaker reiterated their
lack of education and harked his hear
ers back. to view the two greatest
inches in Americas Hall of Fame. He
cautioned the school pupils that the
education which they are being given
should not cause them to be arrogant
or over-proud, but instead, they should
be thankfully grateful for the advan-
tages which they are given and which
Washington and Lincoln did not have
and yet rose to stellar pinnacles In
the hearts and minds of American
people. He urged all school children
to read the farewell address of Wash
ington and the second inaugural adj
dress of Lincoln, stating that both eff
forts were years of education in them
selves. In the end DR.. Dubois said:
Let us see by our acts and thoughts
that we preserve these great ideals
which Providence gave u.s."
Comrade Norris, responding for
Palmer Post spoke briefly. He told
of his own experience of stepping
from the school room into the army
and of being deprived of the educa-
ton which, he had desired. He re-
painted the picture which Dubois had
painted of washington as having ev-
erything and Lincoln nothing. He
pictured how men and women COM
plain of failure because of environ
ment; of not having had the advan-
tages of this and that. He pointed
out that with Washington and Lin
coin it was. not environment that
made them great, hut determination
to succeed and conquer, when it was
put up to them to rise or fall. He
pointed out to all the school children
that if they had the same determine
ton in meeting problems which they
were called on to face that they, too,
would rise as did Washington and
Lincoln, though perhaps they would
not be called on to solve as great
problems as the two great American
ideals.

with the Twelfth Wisconsin regiment,

scription of the details of that histor-

prison, the work of digging the tun-

wilderness until he was able to make
his way back to Union lines.
The program was concluded with a
song by the pupils of the primary and

to have received the most votes, then
he and not Cats will be the regular
Democratic nominee, and Cats can
only be candidate as a bolter. OBJ
viously, again, it must be for this
contingency and for this purpose
that Cats political headquarters
has been already established, and it
is for such fight against the Demo-
cratic party in Florida that Guerry
and others have become connected
with it in advance of the result of
the recount.
1t costs very considerable
amount of money to have a man like
Goode M. Query to go into such
temporary and unsavory job; and as
no doubt other men of high ability
have been employed and a larger
nlmber of smaller bores, they with
all the other expenses of campaign
covering great State will mount
up into a very large SUM togeth-
er larger, everybody knows, than can
have been raised from Cats Florida
constituents.
Is 1t not, then, really as clear as
anything about a secret political
campaign can be, that there was
and is a determined enterprise f.
nanced at least largely from outside
the State to disrupt and destroy the
Democratic party of Florida?-st.

come one of the force at the political
headquarters of Rev. S. j. Cats.
If the recounts now in progress
shall sustain the nomination of Cats
ne will continue to be the regular
Democratic nominee, and will have
no need for campaign headquar
tiers. He will have no actual oppo

publican candidate, and his election
without effort, much less expense,
will be a certainty. Obviously, Goode
Query has not been employed in an

CATS IN FRAME-UP

The Telegram is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. r. B. Sturkie, whom
w. V. Knott accuses of participating
in frameup with Sidney Cats to
discredit Knots contest for the
Democratic nomination. Mr.. Sturkie
denies the charge and asks the Tele-
gram to withhold comment until he
shall have opportunity to make a
statement. This the Telegram will
do, though 1t must be admitted that
the letters published as coming from
Mr.. Sturkie put him in a pretty bad
light. There may be some adequate
explanation to be offered by Mr.
Sturkie, and the Telegram hopes
such an explanation will be forth
coming, because it has a pleasant
impression of him and it would hate
to see the stigma of political double
dealing and two-facedness fastened
on him. Mr.. Sturkie's letter fol-

to the ground had your strong arms
been anywhere else than around my

you looked all around for somebody
to send for water but there was not
soul in sight so you started to
K-K-K-Kall for help when a CHERO

that made the tears of relief or an

to your eyes. l will never forget
the look you had in your eyes when
I came to. Isn't it wonderful, Mr..
Melton what a little bottle of Chero

out to look at. Would you like to
take me out real-estating again, that

we can arrange a meeting place, but
l hope you will not disappoint me
the way Mr.. Erickson did this af-

Mr.. Cats told of a certain in
terview between Mr.. Knott and
Hays Lewis in the latter's office, in
which Cats says Mr.. Knott made
certain admissions. Now comes Mr..
Lewis, though he is Cats ardent
supporter, and positively states that
the incident as proclaimed by Cats
did not occur. We would like to be-
lieve that both these eminent gen
tlemen are at all times strictly
truthful, but when they contradict

they make it little hard for us.

Booster Train.
With Truth as the engineer, Prog

the conductor, and Charity as the
brakeman. All aboard! Now is your
chance to show what you are made
of. Don't know-that does not show
brotherly love for your fellow man,
nor aid the progress of your town
Lakeland does not want her train
loaded with persons that have not
the booster spirit, so everybody get
aboard and boost. If you meet with
a person who is a knocker, why, do
not criticise him, but try and help
him to the booster line. Now, dear
people of Polk county and especially
of Lakeland, you have one of Gods
choice garden spots, one that you
should be proud to call your home
moderate climate, beautiful lakes,
and in fact one of the most beautiful
places in the Southland. Now, peo-
pie, don't let any other city in the
Southland get ahead of you. Get
aboard the booster train and stay
there. Don't be satisfied with be-
ing there yourself, but get others
aboard also-make booster out Of
the knocker.
If at first you don't succeed, try,
try again.
Don't forget. your business men,
your professional men. They help to
make your town into a great, glor-
ious city. Help them; don't knock
them. How shall we help them? |
will tell you how. Just put your
shoulder to the booster wheel, and
it won't be long before someone else
joins you. And it won't be long be-
fore you will have the wheel NOV
ing, and when you get it started you
will find the road to progress open.
Then, good boosters, keep the wheel
going and you will have a good,
thriving little city.
A good, thriving city brings peo-
pie from all over the country and
that is what you want. Thriving lit
tie towns make good cities and bring
people in to help their progress. And
when the people come, make good
Lakeland boosters out of them.
Don't let the outside world say
Lakeland used to be a good town,
but now it is a has-been." Don't let
them say that. Let them say, my,
my, how Lakeland is growing, in
buildings, in population, and in
progress. That is where l am going
to do my business and make that my
home, and join the Lakeland Booster
Band"
Now, dear people of Lakeland and
elsewhere in Polk county, strive
earnestly, work faithfully, to bring
your dear little city. Help to reform
the knocker, bring him to where he
will say, THY will be done; boost.
and am with you"

you make Lakeland one of the best
cities in the Southland.
