Argument ad Hominum-

Argument ad HOminum--
A local incident is Illuminating of
the present political situation in the
state.
A leading citizen happened to be in
a business place where several young
men were discussing the Cats cam

the Independent candidate. One of
the young men engaged in the dis
cussion was from the state of Mich

leading citizens, aforesaid, was him.

Knowing the young men, well he
listened awhile and then said, i
want to ask you boys just one OF
two questions.
Turning to tho young man from
Michigan and calling him by name
he said. tHow far would Cats gel
in a political contest in your state
of Michigan" That kind of a mar
wouldn't get anywhere in Michigan,
instantly responded the young man
who was formerly from that state.
Then addressing the Minnesots

a man like Cats is not good enough

SAD PREDIcAMENT OF Mr.. CATS

Not the least remarkable manifestation
OF Mr.. Cats ability is the adroitness with
which he has been able to extricate himself
from tight places Were his utterances
cuestioned9 He denied them absolutely.
Were his arguments attacked? He confused
the issue by injecting into it some new ele-
ment. and under cover of the natural Devil
dcrment was able.to retire with the honors
of war.
But brought face to face with an issue,
challenged to prove one of his wild asser-
tons before the audience to which 1t was
made. Cats was stricken dumb.
It was at Kissimmee last Thursday,
where Mr. Knott was delivering an address.
Cats was present. During the course OF his
sreech. the democratic candidate pointed
his finger. dramatically, at Cats and de-
manded the name Of the party who inform
cd Cats that Cardinal Gibbons had donat-
cd 70 Krotts campaign fund
TN Lakeland : said Mr.. Knott, Mr..
Cats stated that Cardinal Gibbons contrib
uted a certain sum; in Winter Haven an
other sum, in this place another sum, until
somewhere along the road he had raised the
figures to eighty thousand dollars"
Had Cats been taxed about this in diff
ferent part of the state, he would have fol-
lowed his usual custom and denied it. But
lie was unable to enter denial at the place
where he had made the statement.
Had Cats been able to prove his asser-
ton. he would most certainly have vel
coined the opportunity to put Knott to con-
fusion
But he kept silent Because what he said
was untrue. He knew it then, he knew il
when he said it.
This little incident, NOSE than anything
else, has shown Cats up in his true colors
He scruples at nothing to gain vote OF
Willy. an opponent All things to all men, he
traduces Wilson in an anti-Wilson locality
in South Florida he throws mud at West
Florida; and when he comes to Pensacola
he caters to the people whom he has beer
most assiduously abusing elsewhere
In the presence of ladies he uses disgust
ing language: he breaches revolution in an
other place; and to another group of mer
he promises to repeal the fish tax laws. AND
denies everything later on.
He stands for everything and is for moth
ing; the only issue of his entire campaign
on which he is firmly established IS the
charge above quoted, which he was unabl,
to prove and could not deny.

governor, addressed the voters, indi-
cate that the entire democratic tick

majority from that section of the
state Hon. Amos E. Lewis of Jack

Chipley, spoke from the platform
with Mr.. Knott. All three Of the
speakers were enthusiastically APP
plauded by the large crowd which
was present.
It is believed that Mr.. Allen, the
,ubIican candidate, will materially
decrease the vote Of Mr.. Cats IN
that county. At Lynn Haven there
were 260 qualified voters OF this
number Mr.. Cats received 240 in the
June primary. Recently there has
been organized an Allen Club at this
point, which has PA members, all Of

qualified voters.

proof of an assertion he had made,
which proof Mr.. Cats could not give.

today. In speaking of the Borland rider.
The wage scale for Government en-
ployes made in 1864, called for seven
hours work by Government employees.
BY an executive order another half hour
was added on. The Government en-
ployes received no additional compen-
sation for this half hour. Now II is
proposed TO add still another hour,
which would make an hour and a half
more than the original wage and hour
schedule OF 1864 calls for.
THE Borland proposal is contrary to
the trend Of the times. In practically
all business, commercial and profess
sional lines the tendency for some time
past has been toward the intensifying
Of work during short hours, and in-
creasing the hours for relaxation, rest

protest against the proposed injustice to
Government clerks. The Government
clerks have no vote: they are denied the
right OF petition and disciplined IL they
communicate with their Congressman
in relation TO any alleged grievance.
They have Io rights that the Govern
rier would be allowed an hour for rest
and lunch: Government clerk is given
n half hour. but his time was extended
to seven and onc-half hours. Other en-
ployes are allowed extra pay for over
time. price and a half for Sundays
and holidays.
The clerks are subject to a call for
extra hours at any time the exigencies
OF the service require. and they have
yielded at all times uncomplainingly. II
