REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATES FOR Gov
and REPRESENTATIVE SPEAK HERE

The Honorable George W. Allen
Of Key West, republican candidate
Tor governor Of Florida, and the Hon.
Henry W. Bishop Of Lake county.
republican candidate for congress
from the First district addressed
about 100 voters Of the city at the
band stand this morning at ~ $50
o'clock.
The speakers were introduced by
Judge A. +. Odlln, Of this city, who
paid each Of the distinguished gen.
tlemen high compliments.
After discussing a few national IS.
sues, Mr.. Allen made the burden Of
his remarks bear upon the impor.
lance Of Independent voting. He
called attention to the fact that Flor.
ida Is always looked upon as being
safely democratic, and speakers from
other states are not imported into
this state, all recognizing that there
Is no hope Of changing the F1ordan
from his democratic inclination.
This Mr.. Allen does not look upon
as being especially complimentary to
the average Florida voter, for he
should cultivate a more independent
spirit in the matter of suffrage. lie
gave special emphasis to those great
democratic leaders who claimed the
right to change whenever in their
judgment they thought fit. He said
the reason many voters did not show
this spirit Of independence is, that
they are afraid they will be called
boilers. He is not a candidate for
governor as II PARTISAN, but as II ma.
tive Floridan who loves and wants to
serve his state.
Mr.. Allen made a good impression
upon the voters, and his appearance
and speech fully Justify the many
good things that have been said Of
him as a man ard a public spirited
citizen.
Mr.. Bishop spoke briefly Of his |
for representative Of the
First Florida District. He said the |
latest bulletin in regard to the SIT
nation was from an Arcadian who |
said, "Drane has already got you
BEAT" He is unwilling, however. to
q home on account Of this "straw
'ote.' Mr.. Bishop said his friend.
Allen, is alright, and will make
good governor. He said there is a
ipeclal reason why there should be n
'epublican governor at this time for
he purpose Of holding down the
'7rcsentatlves, Fart Of whom are for
Knott and part for Cats. "If Allen
: elected he will act as great bal.
co wheel in harmonizing these two
actions said Mr.. Bishop
