POkING FUN AT A STATESMAN

Golfers Weekly says that a parade
in honor of the men chosen by the
selective draft was about to be held
in Washington, d. c. Senator Varda-
man wanted to say that he thought it
would be good thing if the senate
marched in this parade Here is how
he went about it.:
Such a tribute should come from
the hearts of all Americans with that
'spontaneity with which the perfume
lis breathed from the glowing breast"
of the fragrant rose, or the pellucid
stream gushes from the heart of the
ragged mountain. It should. in truth,
be as free and ample as the circum-
ambient atmosphere which sustains
the citizens life.
If the senator from Mississippi had
his wish, every day in the calendar
would be the Fourth of July But,
hush he is continuing:
We erect a monument, as ii were
in the minds of our children and
their children's children which viii
stand, resisting the cOrrOding hand
of time. pointing to the higher and
better way-an example that will be
respected. followed and emulated as
long as heroism is a virtue, and the
love of home, fidelity to country and
reverence to God shall animate the
human breast. The time that the
senate will consume from its ardueus
duties in taking part in this parade
will be most profitably spent
What shall we do at our Fourth OF
July celebrations when vardaman
and his haircloth- -black-walnut or
atory have been scrapped for the
sake of war efficiency?

STATE SENATORIAL CANDIDATES

1t is rather early to begin the cam
paign for 1918, but the ball has
already been set in motion. and candi-
dates will not be wanting.
The announcement of Mr.. Lincoln
Hully's candidacy for state senator
from Volusia county has already
been made, and the announcement is
hailed not only with favor but with
enthusiasm by number of the news
papers of the state, for the reason
that Mr.. Hully enjoys statewide
reputation as being an honest as well
as exceedingly popular and brainy
man.
If there ever was .;me when the
state needed brainy men in her legis-
latiye halls it is at the present mo-
ment when the world is at war and
Florida is in a chaotic condition pOlit-
ically.
There are also two announcements
for the state senate from the twenti-
eth senatorial district, composed of
the counties of Marion and Sumter.
Hon W. ]. Crosby. who has served
two terms in the lower branch of the
legislature, in conversation with his
friends. does not hesitate to say that
he will be candidate for the state
senate from this district next year
Mr.. Crosby will run not as a Cats
nor anti-Catts candidate, but says
that if elected he will be controlled in
all matters coming before the senate
IS his conscience dictates. His rec
ord in the last legislature will be his
guide. If there is a movement for
the impeachment of Governor Cats,
and the testimony is strong enough to
Justify his removal he will vote for
his impeachment: if the evidence ap-E
peals TO him as being insufficient he
will vote against his impeachment.
Mr.. Crosby says that in the last
campaign he supported Hon. ". vi
Knott for governor in the primary
and stood by him until the end. and
has always been warm supporter OF
Hon. Duncan L. Fletcher for the Unit
ed States senate, and will support him !
against the field if he is a candidate |
for reelection.
Mr.. Crosby says that ne is willing
to be judged by the record he has
made in the legislature during his
two terms of service. and if he is ell
to serve the district with the same
degree of fidelity that he has served
the people of his county
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1917-10-05

1t is no longer a secret that Mr..
Louis W. Duval will also be a candi.
date for the senate from this district.
AS Mr.. Lincoln Hullys announce
ment is hailed with delight by many
Of the newspapers of the state be-
cause of his intellectual attainments
we make bold to say that Mr. Duval's
candidacy will be. heralded with the
same measure of delight, for he en-
joys a popularity the same as Mr.
Hully's for the things that call for
brain force, nerve, intuition and self
possession.
In the last campaign Mr.. Duval was
strongly opposed to the candidacy of
Governor Cats, and if Governor Cats
persists in the course he has started
out on there is little doubt but that
Mr.. Duval will put in motion such in
strumentalities that will cause him
not only to observe the constitutions
and the laws of this state. but the
traditions and principles of the demo
cratic party and will make him glad
to follow in the footsteps of his pre-
decessors in office.
Mr. Duval is very popular, has a
large following and will make a vigor-
Gus campaign for his election.

TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician
for long life was: Weep the kidneys in
good orderl Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clogsthe kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat = the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation, as backache, scalding vwater,n
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, urusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid ~ hot water does sugar.
