Cats Hits Old "Confeds"

The Jasper News, one of the
most reliable newspapers in Flor
ida, established by j. NJ. Caldwell,
an ex-Confedcrate soldier and
Christian gentleman, in its issue
of last week says:
"ln his speech at Genoa last
Saturday Mr.. Cats said that the
Confederates were lined up solid
ly with the whiskey bunch, Cath
olics and railroads to elect Mr..
Knott. "
If there is one thing above an
other for which the citizens of
Florida will not stand. next to a
slur upon the honor of her women,
it is any such uncalled for fling as
this at the brave men who fifty
years ago lined up ON the battle
front for the cause of the South.
1t would seem that poor old
Cats is so ratified" now that ev.
cry time he opense his mouth he
puts his foot in it. The fact is that
all that is necessary is to give him
time enough and he will commit
political hari kari, or in Other
words give him rope enough anc
he will hang himself.-Gainesvillt

A Warning Disregarded

Over a year ago, The Herald
warned the press and the people
of Florida against the candidacy
of Rev. Sidney j. Cats. Most CT
the newspapers laughed at the
warning and the opposing candi-
dates for governor paid no atten-
ton to it. The Herald expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Cats was
land is) dangerous man to elect
as governor, because his candidacy
and election would stir up i'll feel
ing in the state and possibly dis
rupt the Democratic party. This
apprehension has proved to have
been well founded.
Never since carpetbag days has
so much feeling been aroused in
Florida, and Mr.. Cats is respons-
ible for it. The Democratic party
of Florida is threatened with dis
ruption because of the preach
ments of Mr.. Cats and the head
way he has made amongst the
voters. He has made and is MAX
ing his campaign on appeals to
ignorance and prejudice and has
thus stirred up more strife and i'll
feeling than any other man who
has been a candidate in this state
for the past forty years.
He is comparative stranger in
Florida, having lived in the state
for less than six years; has never
been identified with the material |
interests of the state, has never
lone anything to promote the
las never rendered any service to
he state or the Democratic party |
which should entitle him to distin, !
;uished recognition and reward by
he voters; and yet thousands of
ur people by their votes have said
hat they prefer him to such old,
ubStantial, progressive citizens as
=. M. Hudson, |. L. Farris, Frank
\. Wood and VIM. V. Knott, who
or many years have rendered
aithful service to the party and
one all in their power to
remote the best interests
{ the state, both moral and mater
al, and establish good feeling and {
amongst our people. 1t +
a sad day when the voters of
florida turn down such men as
hese in favor of a stranger from |
who can present no rec
rd of service to the state or the |
democratic party thereof.
That is all The Herald has or
I'LL have to say. {

If in a certain number of coun-
ties a gain is shown for Mr.. Knott,
who is to say that certain num-
Der of other counties would not
show a gain for Mr.. Catts?-Tam-
pa Tribune, Sept. S.-Why, you,
Brother Tribune; you and Brer
Cats are the ones to say. Why
don't you and Brer Cats check
mate Brer Knott by re-counting
the vote of the entire state and
showing that Brer Cats got a
majority of both first and second
choice votes? It's up to you and
the supporters of Brer Cats.

The Herald today is giving
much space to the candidacy of
Rev. Sidney J. Cats, this be-
cause he is to speak here tonight,
to say nothing of the uproar which
he has caused throughout the
state. This attention is due both
to him and to the Democratic vot-
ers of this locality, who, we feel
sure, wish to vote for the best in
torests of the state; and it is the
duty of this paper as well as of all
others to do its best to correctly
inform the people and TO conscien-
tiously advise them. The Herald
is against Mr.. Cats for reasons
given in cnother article.

CANDIDATE GEORGE E. CRuM

George f.. Crum of Lewiston, Idaho,
was in the city vast Monday looking
after his political fences and inter
viewing his friends and supporters.
Although an ex-state senator, Mr.. Crum
is not politician, but a reputable, as
tute and successful business man who
promises, if elected, to transact the
business of the executive with the same
care, attention and economy as ne would
his own private business. Speaking Of
Mr.. Crum the Moscow Post says:
Politics should be business propo
sition for the people. The voter should
look at political questions from bust
ness and economic standpoint. The
people should have their own interests
in mind and not the interests
of candidates or political leaders. The
candidate should be neither a politician
nor a demagogue, but a man with bust
ness sense, who will labor for the best
interests of his constituents, and who
understands their needs. He should be
selected because he is big enough for
the job and should use his judgment in
handling his job as employee of the
people without chasing from place to
place in order to get in touch with pub
lie sentiment. The people don t elect
a man to Office with the idea that they
must tell him what to do. They elect
him because they think he has the abil-
ity and judgment to take care of the
duties of the Office to which he aspires.
This is especially true in the selection
of governor. The Idaho Post believes
that George E. Crum, Of Lewiston, Ida
no, will fill the bill-Idaho (Moscow)
