The Call of the People


The unanimous action of the
large number Of representative
citizens of Lee county, including
the members Of the Lee county
bar, who gathered in a mass
meeting Monday evening and a.
dopted resolutions requesting
Hon. F. A. Whitney, judge of the
Tenth judicial Circuit, to recon
slider his recent decision and per-
nit the placing of his name on
the primary ballot for the nomi-
nation to succeed himself, is
plainly the call Of the people, the
enthusiasm Of and deep interest
by those present and participat-
ing in the meeting being the ex-
preston of the whole, as will be
seen by the signatures when the
petitions shall have been passed
around among those who could
not be present.
With no intent to disparagc
either the character or qualifica-
tions of either of the candidates
offering for this position of high
honor, the citizens of Lee and the
other counties in the circuit have
found in Judge Whitney q man OF
sterling worth--a man in whom
the utmost confidence as to his
fairness, his qualifications to pre-
side-is reposed. They have come
to look upon him as their arbiter,
one who can be depended upon
to consider all weighty matters
with justice and impartiality-in
fact one who embodies all the dig
nifty and other essential qualifica-
tions of true judge, and The
Press feels that it voices the senti-
ment of practically every citizen,
not only Of Lee county, but Of the
entire circuit, when it adds it's
voice to that of the citizens in
mass meeting assembled in ap-
pealing to Judge Whitney to heed
the call of the people.
Let every citizen of Lee county
give this movement the heartiest
cooperation possible. Make it
point to have your name ON the
petition that the county may be
blessed with the continuance of
the great progress that has been
made during the years that Judge
Whitney has presided over the
Tenth Judicial Circuit.-Fort
Myers Press, Tuesday.
The meeting mentioned above
was a remarkably large one and
the resolutions insisting upon
Judge Whitney becoming a candi-
date were adopted by a rising,
unanimous vote. If Judge Whit
ney will yield to the demand that
he continue to serve the people,
which demand appears to be al
most, if not quite unanimous
throughout the circuit, it is very
likely that those who have an 1
bounced their candidacy to sue
,eed him, will withdraw in his
favor. Judge Epps Tucker of
Lakeland, has already withdrawn

the following program was great
ly enjoyed by the appreciative
audience:
Miss Anne Blanchet opened the
program with a beautiful solo,
Because | love You" Miss Yer

"Mr. Shakespeare Thunder" and
also a sketch from her own dram
atization of "Mrs. Wigs of the

was assisted by Mary Louise

John l., Blanchet delighted every
one with two vocal solos, "The
Clang of the Forge" and "The
Mighty Deep"
A very entertaining feature of
the evening was clever render
ing OF the witch scene from" Mac
beth, which was given in a most
dramatic manner by Miss Verdier
OF TT. Myers, Mrs. John L. Blan-
chet and Mrs. j. B. Male, who
kept the air ringing for several
minutes with their incantations.
The closing number, to which
all had been looking forward, was
an interesting and instructive lee
ture by Col. John McNab, win
ter guest of Fit. Myers. Col. Nc

travels in Mexico; and from
