ed, Mr.. Cats is that nominee. If

and finds that an honest recount has
been made and Mr.. Knott really re-
ceived the larger number of votes, he
will be that nominee.

A Cats Club

Melbourne Times: The Fort Pierce
papers tell of St. Lucie County Cats
Club being organized in that county
last week. Fourteen members were
enrolled at the initial meeting and the
membership committee had increased
this number some, at the last writing.
The Tribune says that "Catts was the
leading candidate in St. Lucie county
in the June primary and it is expect
ed that a strong organization will be
developed"
Gee! But we would certainly hate
to make the admission that Cats was
the leading candidate in Brevard coun-
ty in the primary, and we would still
more hate to believe that a strong or
ganization could now be developed for
him in this county. The st. Lucie
County Tribune is for Cats now be-
cause he was the leading candidate
in the primary. Before the primary
the Tribune thought Cats would not
cut much figure for the reason that he
was being ignored to a great extent
by the press. But that is where lot
of newspapers made a mistake.
The Times is not claiming any par
ticular credit for the small Cats vote
in Brevard county, but we are not
ashamed of the fact that this paper
has consistently opposed such man
for the governorship of Florida from
the very start.

and necessary for the protection OF
politics from the boss, has given tc
the cities a greater relative influence
than they formerly exerted in the
making of nominations. The reason
for this is obvious. It is easier for
the town voter than for the country
voter to exercise the right of suffrage.
The former is near his polling place
and can vote without loss of time and
regardless of weather Not so with
the country voter. He is at disad-
vantage whether the weather be good
or bad. If it is good, his time is val
liable and it is a pecuniary loss to
leave his work for the time necessary
to make the trim to the polling place
and return. If the weather is bad,
it may be difficult for him to get there
at all. Voting. therefore. puts a tax
upon the rural voter which the CT,
voter does not have to bear.
"No one would think of imposing an
UNEQUAL tax on the voters if it were
specifically stated in dollars or cents.
For instance, law compelling a far
mer to pay a dollar for the privilege
of voting while only twenty-five cents
was required of the city voter, would
not be tolerated for a moment. And
vet the actual effect of the present
system is to compel larger pecu-
MARY sacrifice of the rural voter. This
ought to be corrected. Why not en-
Dloy the rural carrier plan for the COL
lection of votes? If the federal GOV
eminent can afford to carry a postal
card miles into the country. the state
ought to be able to afford to collect
4 ballot. If the federal government
can afford to carry the mail to farm
ers every dav, the state can certainly
afford to collect ballots two or three
times a year. Some remedy should
he applied at once. IF any other plan
is better. let it be adopted, but rural
delivery has proven such a success
that it would seem worth while to try
the idea in the collection of votes"

Lakeland Telegram: We ran across
the following little poem from the
German the other day, which strikes
us as expressive of a great truth. A
man without enemies has done little
in this world; always the most clubs
are found under the trees that bear
the best fruit. We would not have
men say of US "he has not enemies"
for
"He has no enemy, you say;
Nv friend, your boast is poor.
He who hath mingled in the fray
Of duty that the brave endure
Must have made foes. If he has none
Small is the work that he has done.
He has hit no traitor on the hip:
Has cast no cup from >periured lip:
Has never turned the wrong to right;
Has been a coward in the fight"

Orlando Reporters Star: The scnsa-
tional testimony promised by the
Cats attorneys was sprung in the
supreme court Yesterday and shortly
after it was given the witness who
testified was arrested on q charge Of
perjury.
It does not mean necessarily that
the witness is guilty of wilfullv hear
inc false witness. but the employee
who was accused by him happened to
be the auditor of county accounts and
was in the office of the clerk Of the
circuit court of Hamilton county en-
gagged in the legitimate business Of
checking I'D the county's financial ac-
counts when the witness in question
ima@ined him to be engaged in the
illicit business Of tampering with bal
lots.
This incident serves to illustrate the
character of the CAMPAIGN which Mr.
Knott has had to combat. Possessed
Of overwhelming testimony, he has
been put to the enormous expense of
court proceedings and made restive
under the tedium of court DELAYS in
establishing his rightful claims; he
has been subjected to the most annoy
ing and unjust criticism, and in the
climax of the contest he is made the
innocent butt of scandalous testimony
by an ignorant pumpkin who doesn't
possess intelligence enough to distin-
ruish adding machine slips from cleo
tion ballots.
In all phases the Cats campaipn
bears the mark of the spurious-built
upon false issues, supported hv falOo-
hood and bolstered up by false senti-
ment. it is upon its face and in effect
gigantic fabrication, containing
NOTHING that rings true to the better
instincts Of mankind or to the we'll
established principles and traditions
Of American government or the Dem
ocratic party.
