REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

over the park tonight when candi-
dates for State Office will be here and

These gentlemen are prominent in
the business world of their respec-
tive communities, and they are
spending a part of their time spread
ing little Republican doctrine
broadcast over the State, which, with
all the other kinds of political views

give plenty of variety, and from the
mass the voter should be able to Sc
lect something to his liking.
Those who will speak tonight will
be:
Candidate for Governor, George W.
Allen, of Key West.
Candidate for u. s. Senator. w. r.
ONeal, of orlando.
Candidate for Judge Supreme
court, John M. Cheney. of Orlando.
candidate for Congress--Henry w

MONUMENT TO
C. D. ClOUCH TO Be
UNVEILED ON OCT. g

One of the largest crowds gathered
last night at Woodmen hall that has
been there in some time, which was
very gratifying to all officers and
those members who attend regularly.
Two members were added to the
roll, being initiated into the mys-
teries of Woodcraft, in an impressive
manner. Capt. Burke's degree team
putting on the work, and although
this was their first real work, they
made fine showing. and Capt. Burke
is to be complimented on his untir-
ing efforts to get them in perfect
shape.
Col. C. H. Dame, State organizer,
presided in his usual august and
stately manner, which always pleases
and he never fails to draw a good
crowd when it is known he will be
on hand.
1t was decided that Sunday after
noon, Oct. Goth, be set aside for the
unwilling of Mr.. C. d. Coughs mon
ument, and arrangements will be
made to have the Wpodmen Circle
assist in the exercises, which is a
guarantee that it will be done in
the best possible manner.
Considerable business was trans
acted, including the ordering of
much new regalia-and when it ar
rives, and is put in place, together
with the handsome new flag that
now adorns the hall, Lakeland Camp
No. rs will look like it is going some.

one who had been pronounced guilty
Of conduct unbecoming one Of his order
and had accordingly been shorn Of his
plumes. his sword was broken before
his eyes. his knightly robe torn away,

used in this sense by Shakespeare and
other writer's of that time.

Originally Latin Phrase.

The origin of the phrase: "All my
eye, Betty Martin" comes Of mispro-
nunclatlon Of the Latin 20 mihi, beate
MARITIME" which is literally, 20 blessed
Martin (help) me" and is found in
several lltanies Of the middle ages.
Now 1t is slang for lie. There are
several such Latin phrases which have
been degraded or transmitted. Hocus
pocus is derived from the solemn "hoc
est corpus" and siserary is a corrup-
ton Of certiorari. 49,
