POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT

To the Democratic Voters of School
District Number One:
1t will be impossible for me to make
personal canvass of the first School
District, hence I shall briefly state
herein, as seems customary, my quail
ifications and reasons for becoming a
candidate for the office for which I
have announced myself.
I attended the public schools of
Putnam County up to about the time
of the "Big Freeze" after which time
my further education, both classical
and medical, was gained elsewhere.
am member of The National
Association for the Study and Edu-
cation of Exceptional Children, and
The National Association for the
Study of Epilepsy, the only two or
ganizations making a study of abnor-
nal school children.
Because of this, Governor Tram
nell saw fit to appoint me Chairman
of Commission, created bv the last
Legislature, to inquire into the States
need of an institution to care for the
INDECENT feeble minded and epileptic.
1t is confidently hoped by charity
workers and students of our States
social problems that this commission
will be permanently contiued as q
State Board of Charities and Correc-
ton.
Hence, being exactly as IGNORANT of
School methods, County and State. as
is the average person who has had
no connection Herewith. I desire, by
thus serving as your representative
on the Board of Public Instruction.
to p9in knowledge that will be Of
benefit to both the State and myself,
IS we'll as the County, in the future.
II therefore follows that I would spend
double the time that would ordinarily
be spent in such work by the ordj-
narilv interested member Of such
Board.
If you see fit to place this conf
dcncc in me- I assure you it will not
be betrayed. and 7 ask YOUR suffrage
at the coming democratic primaries.

In time of campaigns there are ru-
mors or charges made against one

should be explained and proven raise
and for that reason am writing TINS.
Some have said that was respon-
sibIe for high valuations and the raise
of taxes. In 1914 all assessors were
instructed by the Tax Commission
to assess all property at its full cash
vclue. Immediately following this
the assessors met in Convention at
Jacksonville, and I was the first one

rate. and Mr.. Wilson of Volusia coun-
tv put in the second and similar
one. A committee was appointed to
act and report upon the resolutions
Of Bullard and Wilson. This report

eense of this convention that we oil

this convention to show, to any one
and as proof of this statement l have
had Judge Jno. E. Marshall to read
same and to attach his affidavit.
This should be proof enough that I,
instead of being blamed should have
something to my credit. There never
has been any material change in val
ues up to 1914 (see your receipts)
but the mills were put up all along,
because it required more money each
year to meet county expenses.
The Tax Commission in 1914 was
in for their work and higher values.
This Commission was created by the
Legislature and not by the assessors.
The levy or millage is fixed by the
County Commissioners and not by the
assessors, but, the assessor much work
on the tax roll such levy as given to
him by said Commissioners.
These things being so, l ask every
voter to be consideratc, and give cred
it to whom credit is due.
Another thing l must touch on in
the way Of defense, and that is a
report that l do not pay any taxes
in Putnam County" Such should not
be stated if it is not fact, and I'll
let you be the judges, if such is clean
politics, whether told by an opponent
or his friends. The facts are (as
shown by tax books) | pay on one
hunrded and ten acres of land and
my opponent pays on one hundred and
two acres.
In all my campaigning I have been
fair and shall not "change my tao
tics" now
My main object is to give you good
and efficient work, and l simply refer
you to the ffty-seven tax books al
ready made for Putnam County.
Never, one of them turned down;
but each year, an improvement in the
work. See them and Judge for your,
selves. There has never been a law
suit yet caused by my work. There
has never been anything against the
work, but always complimented for
same by our Commissioners.
I will not have the time to visit
and see you all, for my work must
be ready for equalizing Etc. So if
you like the work I've been doing,
then give me suffcicncy of votes
and I'll be on the job again.

ings of this Convention and hereby
