(By Joe Earman)

OF StetSon University, DeLand, anu
one of the Democratic candidates for
Governor of Florida, was a distin-
guished visitor in West Palm Beach
yesterday
He is making an active campaign
and expects to visit every point in
Florida, including cities and inner
most rural recesses, TWICE before
the primary next June.
Docto Hulley is one of the states
most intellectual men.
He has degrees from Harvard and
the MUCH COVETED degree of Doc
tor of Philosophy from the UNIVERSE
ty of Chicago.
He is Doctor of PHILOSOPHY, a
Doctor of LAWS, and a Doctor of
LITERATURE.
One thing is a dead moral certain
ty: if Doctor Lincoln HUXLEY is elect
ed Governor of Florida, the exalted
Office will have an occupant who can
write letter to constituents in TEN
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
Just the other day he stopped to
buy some apples at fruit stand con-
Quoted by a Syrian in Jacksonville.
In purchasing this fruit he did not
over look the MAIN ISSUE in HIS
EXISTENCE at this time, which is to
do a little POLYTECHNIC.
The Syrian's wife was in charge OF
the store, and he asked here in the
Language of Syrians, which is a
branch of the Semitic language, II
her husband could vote. To which
she replied, do not know"
He then told her, in her language,
that he was candidate for Governor
of Florida. She replied in broken
English: "SOOLTAN of Florida-how
MANY wives have your
This reference did not set well
with the dignifed college president;
however, in discussing it with some
of his close friends, ne was informed
THAT an elephants political hide was
necessary to 60 through campaign
in Florida.
While in mind, it might be well to
state that no man, no matter how
close HE MAY or WILL BE to Doctor
Hulley, can ever 60 into his Office, II
he should be Governor, slap him Oh
the back and state: LING, OIL
BOY, so AND So"
Notwithstanding his great culture
he is wISING-UP to the necessities Of
political campaign, and is prepared
to discuss any subjects from how tt
remove ticks from the ears of
HOUN'-DOG, the BEST FRIEND Of 6
Florida Cracker, to BROCHURE
ON PHILOSOPHY.
He is the only man that has evel
lived in Volusia county that can ant
does AWE the Volusia county poll
ticians
He works a system on them to tall
to ONE AT A TIME, and has never
conferred with the whole gang at the
same time. In other words, he keeps
them in line with COLD DIGNITY.
He stands mighty we'll in DeLant
and with the trustees of Stetson Uni
versity.
Sixteen years ago he came to DE
Land as a humble professor Of Ciyic'
and History and was made Presiden
of Stetson University.
1t is unusual in all large colleges
to grant the president vacation O
one year every seven, or what Il
known as the SABBATICAL year.
Doctor HUXLEY has been on the jol
continuously and during this sixteen
year period, has TREBLED the en-
dowment which amounts to NOR
than a million dollars at this time
DOUBLED the enrolment, addet
three large substantial brick build
ings and twenty-five acres OF yer!
valuable city property of DeLand II
the campus.
The greatest achievement that h
has brought about at Stetson Univer
sity is PEACE AMONG THE FAC
ULTY, TRUSTEES, AND WITH TIKI
CITIZENS OF vOLUSIA COUNTY.
Teachers and professors as a rul'
are temperamental and no one know
this fact better than Doctor Lincoln
HUXLEY.
