The Duty of Democrats

Lakeland Telegram: After a fair
count and an impartial trial, a
thorough sitting Of all charges Of
fraud, and a careful consideration of
all the evidence, the highest judicial
authority in the State has decided
that by plurality of the votes cast
on June 9th. W. V. Knott is the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor of the
State of Florida. In addition to this.
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, the highest party authority, by
the decisive vote Of 81 to II, endorses
the candidacy of Mr. Knott. and calls
upon all Democrats to rally to his sup
port.
IN view of these facts, there can
he no linpering doubt in the mind If
any Democrat as to his duty 70 his
marty, and as to the course which he
is bound in honor to pursue. Every
person who participated in the pri-
mary in June pledged himself to sup
mort the nominee of that party. and
those who regard their word c9nnot
do otherwise than TO cast their vote
in November for the man who has
been declared the nominee bv every
riohtfl1Iv constituted authority
Mr.. Cats has never intended to
abide by the primary result. unless
it proved favorable to him. although.
0s a candidate, he took an oath to do
so. From the verv first he hos in

An Ill-Advised Move

Tampa Tribune: The friends OF
Rev. Sidney J. Cats have been acting
in a very ill-advised manner the past
few days, and their blunder is putting
Mr.. Cats in a compromising position
before the rank and file of the Demo
cratic party in this State. We refer
to the petitions that are being gotten
up in the several counties to have Mr..
Cats name placed on the ballot in the
general election as a candidate for
governor.
There are several reasons why this
should not be done, and not one rea-
son why it should be done. In the
first place, Mr.. Cats is a Democrat;
as Democrat he is bound by oath to
support with his vote the nominee of
the Democratic party primary, in
which he took very prominent part;
second, he is making fight in the Su-
preme Court for the Democratic NOM
ination, on the ground that he is the
real nominee of the party for COVER
nor: third, for his name to go on the
ballot as an independent would auto
matically deprive him of the support
of Democrats who live up to their
party obligations: fifth, he is certain
to have his name on the ballot, any,
way. as the Prohibition party has al
ready certified him as its nominee for
Governor to the secretary of State at
Tallahassee.
Should the State Canvassin@ Board
acain declare Mr.. Cats to he the
Democratic nominee his action or
that cf his fri2nds--in ATTEMPTING TO
have his name n;aced on the ballot in
r'erendent OF the action of the board,
will alienata a number of his sup
rorters. The County Comm;ss; W.
ers OF Duval Polk and several other
granted the petition The
County Board showed
better Judgment when it passed The
matter along with the statement that
nasmu'r as Mr.. Cats was contes-
tee in court for the Democratic nomi-
nation, with the final determine tio1
vet to be made, it was not the proper
time to act on his request: that should !
the nomination remain with Mr. |
Knott, then, if Mr.. Cats desired to
run as an independent, there would |
still be abundant time to act on his |
petition.
Mr.. Cats friends have done a num-
Der of foolish things since Mr.. Knott
started his contest which secured the !
by recanvass. but this L. "a.
test act is more than foolish.

Tribune of Thursday, Oct. 9Th, and |

from Pennsylvania, has stumped the
State in his behalf. It is up to the
Democracy of Florida to see If Cats
can deliver the goods" and turn this
State over to Republican domination.
1t is a time for thinking men, who
want peace and progress in this State,
instead of turmoil and strife, to put
their best efforts forward toward the
election of the Democratic nominee

not wanting; a man who will dignity

TAMPA TRIBUNE
TRACKS TRUE.

The Tampa Tribune, without doubt
Florida's greatest and most influential
daily newspaper and the only infuen-
tial journal in the State that was
supporting S. J. Cats for Governor,
has, since the decision of the Supreme
Court and the declaration of the State
Democratic Executive Committee that
w. V. Knott is the nominee of the
democratic people of Florida for Gov
ernor, come out manfully for the
nominee.
Immediately following the first
gathering of the State Canvassing
Board and its announcement that Mr..
Cats had 260 majority, the Tribune
declared for Cats. And it continued
to support Mr.. Cats until last Sat-
urdav. 1t seemed to the Tribune the
only consistent thing to do after its
original and hasty declaration.
But in face of the Supreme Courts
decision and the latest declaration of
the State canvassing board that Mr.
Knott is the nominee, the Tribune does
the only thing any loyal democratic
paper could dot supports the nomi-
nee. Here is the Tribune's declara-
ton:
w. V. Knott is the nominee of
the Democratic party for COVER
nor of this State, as of the June
6 primary. That has been final
ly determined after months of
proceedings in the Circuit Courts
of the several counties and in the
Supreme Court of the State. The
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, the highest constituted
representative body of the party
has so recognized him, and it be-
comes the duty of all Democrats
TO accord him their support.
This they must do if they are
true to the pledge they took
which was a prerequisite to par
ticipation in the primary.
The Tribune recognizes Mr..
Knott rs +Ne nominee Of thu p"r-
ty and will support him as such.

Miami Herald: Mr.. Knott has not
prepared petitions for placing his
name on the official ticket in case it
is finally discovered that he did not
receive the nomination at the June
primary. Mr.. Cats has filed the
necessary petitions to provide against
the contingency that he may not fl
nally receive the certification of nomi-
nation by the democratic party. The
first is prepared to abide by the de-
cision of the courts and the count;
the latter is determined to be a can
didate in any event. That is the diff

men.

4 GERMAN Name
Citizen on Vessel
Stopped by French Ship.
Tells Story of Close Questioning
by Cruisers Officers

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. How
it felt to be an American citizen with
a distinctly German name aboard one
of the steamers of the Porto Rico line
recently searched by the French
cruiser Descartes was described by c.
L. Schifferdecker, one of the passen-
gers on the steamer San Juan, from
which two German passengers were
taken prisoners.
Schifferdecker was born in New
York, his father being a German
American citizen and his mother Eng
lish. He is a dentist and up to a year
ago was practicing at 10 Warren
street, Boston. For the past year he
has been travelling for his health.
I'VE had heard on the San Juan that
a wireless message had been received
warning Captain Evans to get in close
to shore and stay within the three mile
limit in order to avoid being searched
by a French cruiser" said Schiller
decker. There were several of US
with German names aboard and the
captain laughed when he said that in
few hours we might be prisoners of
war.
when we heard a cannon shot
shortly before midnight, we knew
that the wireless message was not a
joke, and when our steamer had
escort came aboard and I saw that the
sailors were armed l commenced to
! thing about my name.
There was my name in the passen-
ger list with fourteen letters in it,
sticking out like a lighthouse. Nobody
could miss it. Yes, I'm an American
all right, but then there's my name
Il think they must have a regula-
ton lot of questions they ask every
body. for after l ha0 told the French
officer 1 was an American he asked
me if l had my naturalization papers
| Then he wanted to know if 1 had my
passports 1 asked if he would have a
passport if he were travelling from
Paris to another town in France.
then he said. You're all right and
didn't pay much attention to what
happened after that. l do remember
though, that one of the Germans taken
off left his money behind and carried
his umbrella with him. And 1 couldn't
help but think it was funny when the
officer told the two prisoners not to
worry.
you'll be among friends he
said"
Schifferdecker said that he had not
seen either William Guthrodt or
Fritsch Lothar, the Nwo Germans who
were taken prisoners, at any time dur
ing the voyage from New Orleans IN
til just before they were taken prison
srs by the French officer.
