PARK TRAMMELL IN REPLY TO M. A.
WARREN SAYS DAY OF SLATE MAKING
IS THING OF THE PAST IN FLORIDA
TO THE DEMOCRATS OF FLORIDA:

I notice that political advertisement signed by and
alleged to be paid for by Mr. M A. Warren of DeFuniak
Springs has been published in practically all of the
ties of Florida In this paid advertisement which must
have for its publication between and thou
sand dollars Mr. Warren his slate in the
tora Gchrist and Wall and appeals other demo
support his slate. He has right do but
know the democrats of Florida well enough they
not going to let any instruct them to
whom they shall support for the United States Senate
careful reading of this advertisement develops the
fact that Mr. Warren charges with the serious offence
of having supported in the past certain candidates who
supported by him. It was Mr.. Warrens right
he pleased The same privilege also mine and do
not believe for moment that single democrat in
Florida except Mr.. Warren, will attempt punish for
exercising my free right American citizen.
He makes certain charges against Senator Bryan
account of the BlountBryan campaign This is matter
with which have nothing to do.
Mr. Warren has good deal to say about what he
calls the CrawfordBryan ring do not believe in
rings ciques and no knows any better than Mr.
Warren that the crowd he refers to fought when
the for Governor and that they for Sena
tor Bryan in the present contest
Mr.. Warren told where he was born and how long he
had lived in West Florida but he failed tell you that
is and for has been the roadaster of the
L. N. railroad in Florida, and active politically the
railroad side of the question.
Recent developments an investigation in Washing
disclosed the fact that the L. NJ railroad spent
forty and fifty thousand dollars in trying elect
its candidate for Governor OF Alabama and that this
pany had tried dominate politics in other Is
this railroad trying the tactics in Florida? Are
Gchrst and Wall the favorte candidates of this railroad
for the Senate? Mr. Warren tries to make appear that
all of the main railroad systems in Florida except the
L. N for Senator Bryan. Then who is the l. & N.
railroad for?
Is the L. & N. officials fighting because when At
torney General of the State active in the fight which
forced that road to reduce its passenger rates West
Florida from four three cents per mile? Are they op
posed to me because when Attorney General brought
about raise the tax assessment of that railroad? Are
they fighting because the author of the law
qurng all railroads to pay claims for shortage, over
charges and lost freight within sixty days be subject
to penalty for failure and because throughout my public
service have fought eliminate Determinations in favor
of railroads. believe in doing justice by all interests
but have opposed and will continue to oppose special
favorts to the railroads the expense of the people
is readily understood why the l. NJ railroad and the
railroad owned newspapers Florida favor of the
other candidates for the United States Senate The
pie generally interested in seeing to it that they
elect to the Senate who stands for equal rights
to all and special privileges to none"
