never mentioned any such.
Personally, mine and Cats re-

no desire to cast any reflections
upon him. Cats vote was due
largely to the support of the anti
Catholic secret political societies,
and to the prejudice against the
Catholics, towards which he did
much IN arousing. Any one would
like to have received this vote, or
any other. A candidate knows
that a vote is vote.

recently organized anti-Catholic
secret society, the name of which

Knott has the experience. He
is competent. He is the nominee

was the first man, so far as l
know, to start fight against the
technicalities of the law, as a.
gainst right and justice. Taft,
Roosevelt, Wilson and the Amer
lean Bar Association and the
Florida legislature have spoken
along these lines. With almost a
unanimous vote of the legislature
and about all the newspapers be-
hind it, did what probably no
other governor in the U. S.
would rave done, vetoing the
bill placing the state convicts on
the roads. Two years later, when
! was not governor, the legisla-
ture authorized the leasing of the
convicts to the county commits
sioners to be used on the roads.
IL they were not taken, they were
to be leased, which was not in the
bill | vetoed. All the commits
sioners took only AZ. What
would have become of the other
1900 convicts without a dollar
with which to feed them
and no. authority to lease them,

bought $1,000 acres for such.
Although there was a prohibit
ion governor in 1918, yet he did
not recommend the passage of a
single liquor measure which | had
vetoed in 1911, nor did the legis-
lature pass any such. So far as
