The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1917-07-03

Editor George Matthews, of the
Fort Lauderdale Sentinel points out
that it's ridiculous to ask people to
buy bonds to carry on this war, when
we could issue the money and win
the war without mourning debt" It
does look foolish that we should
have to dig for money like we do
when we have five presses that could
print greenbacks EASTERN you could
count 'em. Here's hoping Editor
George can convert the nation to his
policy of printing money-and then
just watch us print!

GOV. CATS ADMITS HE
TOOK LIQUOR CAMPAIGN
MONEY FOR OFFICE
Said He Didn't Care Where It Came
From and That It Had Been
Used in a Good Cause

In a speech before large crowd
in the Duval county armory In
Jacksonville Saturday night, Cover
nor S J. Cats, of Florida, admitted
that liquor money had been used
in his campaign for governor in his
behalf. He said that he didn't care
where the money came from, and
that it had been used in a good
cause. Governor Cats also admit
ted that he appointed Hayes Lewis
sheriff of Duval county because he
owed him something for Lewis
activity in his behalf An extract
from the Times-Union account Of the
speech follows:
"Since they have criticised me for
naming Mr.. Lewis sheriff of this
county, said Mr.. Cats, 81 will tell
you why did it. Mr.. Lewis was
the first man to tell me Of the fraud
in Madison, Hamilton and Suwan
nee counties. He was my friend
then, and told me that he could not
stand for such a deal Mr.. Lewis
was then collector of Internal rev.
enue. I mean what | say. He had 4
conference with Mr.. Knott, and then
came over to me and worked for me.
He was removed from Office because
he told the truth about the crooked
ness which was being carried on
When he was removed I had to 10
something for him removed Sher-
if Bowling and named Mr.. Lewis.
Mr. Bowling had not enforced the
liquor laws here and admitted to me
that he could not do So"
The governor declared that he
would remove Mr.. Lewis if he did
not enforce the law. He then turned
to Mr.. Broward and told him that
he might yet have a chance, as he
would probably shake the plum tree
again if things did not 60 to suit
him. In speaking of removals from
office the governor told his audience
that he had not centered his efforts
upon Duval county. The speake"
maintained he intended to clean
up the city of Jacksonville during
his four year term Of Office.
While discussing this question.
the governor stated that some PEG
pie had stated that Mr.. Lewis had
paid him $4,000 for the office. This.
he said, was untrue, and if a man
would say that to him, face to face,
he would plant his left first where It
would do the most good. tAppleuse) &.
He also stated that he had been ac-
cused of receiving liquor money
during his campaign. He admitted
that some was received and used by
the Free Press. He declared that he
had not cared where the money came
from as it had been used for good
cause Orlando Reporter-Star.

The laugh at yolr expense.
The speech to the jury.
The nervousness.
The cold sweat.
The word that will not come.
The sleeping juror.
The instructions you ask for.
ThTe instructions you got.
The adverse verdict.
The lame explanation
Use anger of your client.
The loud criticism of your ability
1hTe fee you never receive.
