that the Knights of COlumbu
were concealing guns with a view
of overrunning America with tn
same spirit in which German.
overran Belgium or in. which tn
Russians would like to have over
run Germany. He spoke of "Olt
Tumulty," striking at Presiden
Wilson. Outside of stating tina
there was Hogg governor o.
Texas and that a Gait could as
well be governor of Florida, he
touched on but two points, reli
gious hatred and prejudice, and
prejudice against the Democratic
President of the United States
In his last speech at Punta Gorda,
within the past few weeks, he
stated substantially that he would
vote for Wilson but he would
have to hold his nose. In the f.
piscopal prayer book you will find
the following: Good Lord De-
liver us''.-How can a democrat
vote for Cats?
Republican Candidates for FEEDER
al Officers, in the event Of
Hughes Election Factions
in this Party.
In former campaigns, the Re-
publican candidate for governor
received about four thousand to
five thousand votes out of about
10000 votes. AS $4,000 votes
were polled in the recent Demo-
cratic primary, about ninety to
ninety-fve thousand votes will be
polled November 7th of which AL
len, the Republican candidate for
governor will receive a proper
Tomato share of about 10000 to
$4,000 votes.
There are two factions in the
Republican party. Whichever
faction controls the convention,
dominates the state ticket. In the
event of the election of a Repub-
lican president they control the
Federal appointments for Flori-
da. They are really not candi-
dates for any state Office. Allen
is reported as stating that he or
Cats will be Governor of Florida,
in this way trying to get some of
the independent voters who are a.
gainst Cats to vote for him as the
best means of defeating Cats.
The Democratic Banking Law,
Preventing Panics, Alone and
of Itself, Entities the Party to
Success.
Although the Republican party
has for years been in control of
National affairs, yet under the adj
ministration Of that party, panics
could and did occur upon the ac-
ton Of II or Is men and corpora
tons. All these men had to do
was to produce monetary string
ency in New York and 2 or 3 9TH
er financial centers. This they
could do by withdrawing the
money which they owned or CON
troled from the banks and lock-
ing up the same in safes or in
vaults, thus cutting down the de-
posts of certain strong banks be-
low the amount required by law.
These banks could then call upon
the southern and western banks
for the money loaned them.
These southern and western banks
would then loan no more money
and would also call in all the loans
they had made. Thus panic was
created. Owing to the recent law
passed during the Wilson admin
istration, no panic can ever egain
occur. If the Democratic party
had done nothing else and even
had comittcd all kinds of plumbers
which they didn't, this single
piece of legislation would have en-
titled it to the support of the peo-
pie now and for years to come.
How can any Democrat vote for
Cats for governor, a man who
stated in Punta Gorda and in 9TH
1r places in substance that he
would vote for Wilson but that
he would have to hold his nose to
do it?
