a faulty power of reasoning.
At one stage of his speech, Cats
distinctly said that he cared nothing
whatever for the supreme court, and
indicated that he held its findings in
contempt. This is invariably the cry
in Mexico whenever revolution rushes
through the land; and for Cats to in
innate that this country is the har-
borage of tyranny, is grave insult
to the democracy of the land, and will
cost him as many votes as his impu-
dent claim to a Me-and-God' part

which has been divided somewhat over
the contest which has been going on
between Me5srs. Cats and Knott, is
now coming together As one promi-

Mr.. Cats, but since the decision of the
Supreme Court, the action of the State
Canvassing Board in certifying Mr..
Knott as the democratic candidate, to-
gether with the action of the State and
County Executive Committees in de-
claring Mr.. Knott the candidate of
the Democratic party for Governor,
there is nothing else for me TO do rs a
good democrat but support the nomi-
nee of my party, and that nominee is

After the weekly prayer service at
the Methodist church on Wednesday
evening, a business meeting of the
church was held to discuss plans for
erecting a new church edifice. 1t
was the sense of the meeting that ac-
tive work will not begin until next
spring. The church owns 4 fine lot
at the corner of Reid and Fourth
streets, and sometime ago it was
decided to build a beautiful church
here at a cost of about $4,000. 1t
is a most slightly corner opposite the
court house and easily reached from
all parts of the city.

Mr.. Cats Speech in Pensacola =

Pensacola Journal Cats is losing.
His reception last night proves it. The
crowd was much smaller than antici-
pated, and it did not respond with the
enthusiasm which the discredited cam
didate was at one time able to evoke.
1t was not that Cats oratory lack
ed its old-time brilliance, it was SIM
ply that he didn't say anything. His
speech was devoted to abuse, and not
facts. 1t was billingsgate, and not
logic.
If he he'd tried to prove his wild as
eertions. he might have convinced a
fcw. But he did not. He adduced
not & single bit of proof; he attempt
ed to substantiate not a single state
ment. apparently thinking the people
would accept without DISPUTE his gra-

DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

Hon. Frank Harris, the veteran ed
itor of the Ocala Banner, in a recent
editorial on the DUTY of Democrats"
says:
The democratic party of Florida is
nearing a more serious crisis than
that which it confronted when the
brilliant Frank Pope ran for governor
on an independent ticket.
Frank Pope was a native. He was
a member of a distinguished family.
He was gifted with rare talents. He
was a fluent and captivating speak
er. He was strong, forceful and log
ical. As a member of the bar he
stood the peer of any lawyer in the
state.
Though numbering his friends by
the thousands they felt that they
would not sacrifice the party-owing
to the peculiar condition Of the affairs
in the south-to crafty Mr.. Pope's
ambition or the ambition of any other
man.
Mr.. Pope lost out. The members
of the democratic party stood loyal to
the organization. He lost his stand
ing in the party ever afterwards, as
the friends did who stood by him.
The democratic party in Florida
faces another and yet more serious
crisis, yet it is entirely undeserved.
The party was never in better shape
than it is today. Its record is clean
in state and nation.
Capt. John L. Inglis, noted for his
loyalty and patriotism, Is not alone in
saving that Woodrow Wilson "is the
best president that we have had since
George Washington
Yet the forces behind Mr.. Cats are
trying to defeat Mr.. Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. Cats gets his name on the off
cial ballot by being certified by the
prohibition party of Florida, who
while endorsing some of the demo-
cratic candidates have failed to en-
dorsc the Woodrow Wilson presiden-
tial electors.
Here lies the milk in the cocoanut.
And what has brought about all
this "rucus" in the party lines? All
because of the hosting of the "pope's
yellow flag" on our battleships, when
in truth and in fact the pope has not
had flag of any sort since he lost
his temporal power, and that was be-
fore men no older than Mr.. j. S.
Bitch were born. 1t puts to shame
the effort to make a mountain out of
a mole hill.
"Billy" Parker, the forerunner Of
Sidney J. Cats, is anxious for the
disruption of the democratic party in
Florida, and in the nation, and Mr..
Cats wants to be governor, and to
obtain which the religious controversy
The Palatka news and advertiser. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1908-19??, 1916-10-20

has been started, which is plainly in
opposition to the democratic platform.
Following the example so worthily
set by the Tampa Tribune it is the
duty of democrats to stand by the
democratic nomination, and to this
end the Ocala Banner suggests that
Wilson and Knott democratic clubs
be Immediately formed in every pre-
cinct in the county, and every man
who feels that his party is in peril go
actively to work in enlisting men,
bers and let's make the election of
our party nominees the most over
whelming ever known in the history
of the state.
Let's put an end to boiling and in
dependentism.
Let those who bolt and want to run
for office as Independents absolve
themselves from taking part in the
democratic primaries.
The obligation of the primary is
that one taking part in it shall sup
port its nominees.
Let's get to work!

pusting. He is a gentleman, trained
to he a law abiding citizen.
What contrast is furnished by the
picture Of the two during those warm
times lust ended! While Cats was
skurrving about the state. ranting and
bowling epithets and using vile Ian
guage to and regarding Florida wo-
men, Mr.. Knott was taking the only
course open to a law abiding citizen
who feels that his rights have not
been fully sustained. He quietly went
about securing a recount of votes
wherever it was believed he had been
deprived of the complete showing he
should have had. He did not charge
that the election officers had tried to
steal his votes. He merely went to
the courts and asked that errors he
believed to exist he investigated and,
if they really existed, that they be
corrected. When tainted votes were
rendered him, he investigated and, be-
ing convinced that something was
wrong. he asked that no further stems
he taken to secure these votes for
him. He did not want anything cues
tionable to enter into his election as
governor and he sacrificed what look
ed like dangerous number of votes
that he might have secured.
We are thankful that reason still
reigns in Florida and that we have
a manly, conscientious candidate for

Orlando Sentinel-Reporter: 1t is
quite fitting that here upon the eve of
election J. B. Hodges, corporation lob
byist, should bloom forth as the chief
platform advocate of S. J. Cats. Mr..
Hodges desired to debate with Chair
man George P. Raney of the State
Democratic Committee the issue as to
whether Knott or Cats is the nominee
of the party. Chairman Raney prop
erly declined to debate such ques-
ton. There is no such question, for it
has been finally and unequivocally de-
cided. The Cats outfit is desperate
and the State Committee should be
careful to do nothing that would give
it comfort.

ing. jacksonville, Fla.
MY Dear Mr.. Burke: Your letter
of the 18th inst, advising me of the
contemplated visit of Mr.. S. j. Cats
to st. Augustine and asking that l
meet and introduce him to the people
Of this city, has been received.
CAS- a citizen of st. Augustine, |
am always glad to extend any cour-
tesy to any visitors here, but under
stand your letter to be an invitation
to preside over a political meeting
which is to be held in the interests of
Mr.. Cats candidacy for the office of
governor. This being so cannot con-
sistently comply with your request.
1T would be an easy matter to
evade the issue raised by your letter
by simply saying that | will not be in
the city tomorrow evening; for, as a
matter of fact. official duties will call
me out Of town tomorrow, but | am
not accustomed to lodging issues and
try to meet every proposition put up
to me squarely and frankly. This
mental attitude obhges me to say that
according to the information which I
have, Mr. Cats is not the Democratic
nominee for governor The actions
of the Supreme Court of the State by
which the matter in dispute between
Mr.. Knott and Mr. Cats were recent
ly adjudicated, and the declaration
of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee both concede the nomination to
Mr.. Knott. In this situation: being a
Democrat myself and having myself
repeatedly received the endorsement
of the Democratic party in this State,

which will be waged for the governor
