Republicans and Cats have without
regard for decency joined hands for
the purpose of defeating the Demo-
cratic nominee. The trade is under
stood to be that Republicans will vote
for Cats if Cats supporters vote for
Republican presidential electors. 1t
behooves all to know the Democratic
electors, so that no mistake will be
made. They will appear on the tick
ct with the others and without any
distinction as to party. Democrats
should clip out this list and either
memorize it or keep it handy. Here
are the Democratic electors::

is in most of the rural commu-
mites, is not strong enough this
year to overcome the deep-seated
conviction that the man in the
white house has kept this country
out of war and that he deserves
reelection for that reason, if for
no other, even tho he is Demo-
crat.
There is not the slightest doubt
that tens of thousands of voters
in the rural counties of the state,
who never before voted for a
Democrat for president, will vote
for Woodrow Wilson, "the man
who kept us out of war"
There is not the slightest
doubt that a greater percentage
Of the labor vote in the big cities
will be polled for Wilson than
has ever been polled for Demo-
cratic candidate for president.
This is not due alone to the
presidents attitude on the eight
hour law, but even more to the in
disputable fact that the president
and the Democratic congress have
been responsible for more legisla-
ton in the interest of the man
who works with his hands than
any four previous administra-
tiOnS.

Capt. r. HI. Robe Passes AWAY.

Capt. R. H. ROBBIE, since the early
COS one of Palatka's prominent citi-
zens, died about 5 o'clock last even
ing after lingering illness.
The funeral will be held from his
late home at the foot of Reid street
this afternoon at three o'clock, and
the body will be taken to Doffston, N.
H., for interment, accompanied by his
wife and only daughter, Mrs. Harry E.
Stewart of Jacksonville.
Capt. ROBBIE came to Palatka in the
early COS as a locomotive engineer
on the G. S. & F. R'y, and remained
in the service of that road until about
two years ago, when he retired be-
cause of age. At that time he was
the senior locomotive engineer on the
road.
He owned an orange grove at OWE
do and on retiring from the railway
service he spent much of his time
there. He was taken i'll some months
ago, and for a time was under treat
ment in a Jacksonville hospital. Sew
eral weeks ago he came home, and
sank gradually until the end came on
Thursday.
Capt. ROBBIE was a soldier of the
Civil war, and a member of Massa-
chusetts Post, Grand Army of the Re-
public. He was also a Mason, and
members of that order will attend his
funeral service this afternoon, prob
ably using the Masonic rites in the
service. Mooney & Davis have charge
Of all arrangements for the funeral.

speaker of the evening was introduced

speaker of the evening was introduced
by ]. N. Blackwell, Esq, local attor-
ney for Cats in the contest.
A feature of the evening was the
reading of a letter from Mr. Chas.
Burt of Palatka Heights resigning as
member of the Putnam County DEM
ocratic committee. Mr.. Burt has ia
ken the leap to independency, where
he will have more company than usu-
al, this year.
Mr.. SWearengen is a seIf-made man.
He was blacksmith with an ambi-
ton and he read law by the light of
coal oil lamp and finally was admit
ted to the bar. He took an active in
terest in public matters and became
something of leader of men. Then
he was elected during reform wave
to the mayoralty of Jacksonville. But
he couldn't be reelected. Since re-
firing from the mayors office he has
been drifting politically in search of
some other wave that might lift him
into prominence. He mounted the
Cats wave, which if it does not
swamp him, will give him his souls
desire. SWarengen was born and
reared in Fernandina.
The attedance at the meeting was
good, something over 200 people be-
ing present There were some who
went out of idle curiosity, but in the
main the audience was made up of
members Of the secret order who are
bound together to fight the roaming
They came from the coun-
try precincts and brought their en-
thusiasm with them. Their counter
nances were brilliant with the light of
zeal for the cause. Mr.. Swarengen
talked for over an hour and a half.
He is not specially attractive speak
Err but he makes a show of zeal and is
not particularly careful concerning
his statements, but that is politics. He ,
was after votes, and the point was to
get them. He didn't get many new
oneS. His audience had all made I'D
heir minds before entering the hall.

Have They All Turned Rascals?-

Ocala Banner: Let's see. If w. V.
Knott is not the lawful democratic
nominee why is it that he is receiving
the support of Farris, Hudson and
Wood? Why is it that he receiving
the support of Crawford, Luning, Jeff
Browne, Fen. Taylor, McRae, and all
our members of congress. those who
are now in congress and those new
ones selected as their successors, all
supporting Knott? Why is it that
all of our Judges recognize him as the
lawful candidate? Do we hear it said
that all of the democratic officials of
Florida have suddenly turned rascals
and that our only hope of honesty is
IN Mr.. Cats, a comparative importa-
ton, Of whose antecedents we know
nothing? God forbid.

THE DRIFT
TO WILSON.

The Cleveland Press, an independ
ent paper and known as a champion o
the common people, paper with ;
daily circulation of several hundred
thousand copies, says that the "drif
to Wilson alarms Republican leaders
in Ohio" The Press has experts GOV.
ering the State to learn the sentiment
of the people, and one of these, Mr.
H. N. Hickey, writing from Columbus
last Saturday, says:
While the Republicans keep on
putting Ohio in all of their lists
of ure-for-Hughes states, |
doubt whether there is a Repub-
lcan leader in the state who be-
lieves any such thing.
They may have believed it at
the beginning of the campaign,
just as the national Republican
leaders believed, or professed to
believe, at that time, that Hughes
was going to sweep the country.
But they have no illusions
now.
The best that even the most
optimistic Republican leader in
Ohio really hopes for, at this time,
is that between now and election
some way can be found to stop
the drift toward Wilson which is
reported from every section of
the state, not excluding Hamil-
ton county with its big German
population, and having stopped
it. to turn it in the opposite direc-
ton.
The word has been sent down
the line from Republican national
headquarters to the state COM
mittee that Ohio must be carried
for Hughes at any cost.
1t is probable that neither the
national nor the state Republican
leaders woke up to what the
voters in Ohio were thinking
about until after Candidate
Hughes spoke in the state late in
September.
The Hughes frost in Toledo and
Cleveland was the first shock to
the Republican managers. They
have been shocked almost daily
since as reports have been COM
ing in from every section of the
state telling of the inability of the
county, township and ward lead
ers to stir up enthusiasm for the
"hundred per cent candidate
Discouraging as are the re-
ports from the industrial centers,
where it was rather expected that
the president would he popular
with the workingmen, they have
not been as disappointing as the
reports from the small towns and
farming communities.
The small town voter and the
farmer have always been cOnsid-
cred safe in presidential years by
the Republican managers.
It has never been thought nee 7
essary to do more than make the 9
motions of holding them in line. h
But it is different this year, and 0
nobody knows this any better [
than the Republican managers. Ii
The difference is just this {,
partisan prejudice, strong as it 3

The News is publishing at the head
Of its editorial column the names of
all regular Democratic nominees in
the State end county. 1t is impor-
'ant, especially, that every democrat
become familiar with the names of the

which he can do by cutting them out
and COMMITTING them to memory.
These names will appear on the ticket
along with those Of the Republican,

It is therefore necessary that all who

sued remarkable statement advocat.
ing President Wilson'S reelection
After reciting the remarkable achieve
ments of Wilson's administration and
eXcusing its mistakes, Mr.. Lovett
says:
But these considerations are
insignificant in comparison with
one great overshadowing question
involved in this election, namely,
whether the American people are
going to be disciplined and de-
feated and driven from office by
an alien element in our population
for daring to insist upon Amer
lean rights against a foreign gov
eminent.
There is no installing this is
sue. The German American alli-
ance and other disloval organi-
cations proclaim it with amazing
audacitv.
If the Republican candidate
wins-if Wilson is defeated
there will be more rejoicing in
Berlin than there would be over
the winning Of a battle or the
capture of a great city-even
Verdun.

JACK DILLON MAY
GIVE UP BOXING

Jack Dillon, the Hoosier bearcat,'
"the giant killer has qAit the ring!
At least, that's the word from In
dianapo!is, where Jack has bought a
cafe and started in business, annonnc-
ing he will never box again.
Recent reVersals, due, some say, to
failure of Dillon to keep in condition,
weighed heavily on the great scrapper
and caused him to give up his ring
career, after several years as a top
nOtcher.
Dillon has been one of the most re-
markable boxers the country has ever
produced.
Never champion, Dillon has al
ways been the Fighter who is going
to do something"
For many years Dillon fought al
most weekly, touring every state
where boxing. was permitted and box.
ingTor SMALL stakes.
He seldom knocked his man out. al
though many opportunities presented
themselves. Dillon preferred to let
his men stay the limit in order to lms.
band them for future bouts.
There never was much doubt Of
Dllon's superiority over such bbXers
as George (Knockout) Brown or
George Chip. He boxed both many
times, but neither OF them ever took
the count from him. s4q'
Eouts of that sort brought Dillon
into disrepute in many parts of the
country and in many places he 1levo'
was drawing card on second APP
pearance.
Dillon was at the height of his ca
reer a year ago, when he beat Frank
Moran, Charley Weinert and Tom
Cowler in rapid succession and was
talked Of as an opponent for Jess
Willard
Recently, he has been unsuccessful.
Defeated by Battling Levinsky and
,outclassed by Mike Gibbons, Dillon
became discouraged and may never
fight again.
