FLETCHER SHOWS UP
CATS AND HIS FABLES

Cats for some time has wanted, or
pretended he wanted, a joint debate
with Senator Fletcher. He obtained
his professed wish at Wakulla Springs
last Friday, and we doubt that he
wants any more. The following spec
ial report tells the story of the de-
bate:
Tallahassee, May 1.-Senator Dun
car U. Fletcher and Gov. Sidney j.
Cats met today in joint debate at
Wakula Springs, and Senator FLEET
cher emerged an easy victor in the
contest.
Fully fifteen hundred citizens of
Wakulla, Gadsden and Leon counties,
together with representatives from
many sections of the state, gathered
at the historic spot for the annual
May day picnic.
A Perfect Day
A more perfect spring day could
not have been wished for, and shortly
after IL o'clock the speakers in this
debate were introduced by c. j. Fer
rell, prominent citizen of Wakulla
county.
Cats, the challenger, opened the
debate, and was allowed, under the
agreement, forty-five minutes in
which to present his main argument
Fletcher was then accorded sixty
minutes, and Cats followed with a
rejoinder of fifteen minutes.
The first twenty minutes of the
governors speech was taken up with
detailed discussion of his activities
in behalf of the sick soldiers at Camp
Wheeler in the fall of 1917. In this
connection the governor maintained
that it was Fletcher's duty, and not
the governors to look after those
conditions, and he stated that the
senator had been derelict in his duty.
He read at length from numerous
kilograms and letters between himself
and officials at Washington and Camp
Wheeler in support of his claim that
it was through his efforts that the sit
uation at the camp was finally reliev-
ed.
Then the governor charged that
the senator had done little or nothing
to take steps for relief against the
high cost of living and to curb prof
teering by various large corporations
whom he named.

Cats Charges

Among the other charges which the
governor brought against Senator
Fletcher were that the latter voted IN
support of the Cummings bill; that
he had introduced a bill for the de-
portation of citizens to the island CT
Guam, and in this connection and for
this reason he stated that "Mr. Flet-
cher is the first cousin of the car of
Russia"
The governor also asserted that the
senator was a corporation man and
not a peoples man, and stated that
recently when in Pensacola two thou
sand laboring men refused to hear
Fletcher speak.
The senator was taken to task by
the governor for the formers vote on
the child labor bill, and then scored
the senator for supporting the league
of nations. He concluded his argu-
ment by stating that he was running
for the United States Senate because
'ten thousand sun-crowned and glory
kissed citizens of Florida supported
me against the Sturkie resolution and
a large majority supported me against
the Raney committee and the decision
of the supreme court. If did not run
it would be slap in the face of the
thirty nine thousand who put me in
as governor"
He paid his respects to the corpora
tons and newspapers, and declared
that he did not consider them any
more than he did grasshoppers and
crickets.
He showed to the audience a hand
some ring, gift of the prisoners at
the state prison farm in expression
of their gratitude that he (Catts) had
taken away the guns and whipping
post and put the prisoners on the
honor basis.

Fletcher Replies

When Senator Fletcher was pre-
scented by the master of ceremonies,
he was greeted with an ovation. He
launched Immediately into a reply to
the governors charges. taking them
up one by one. All the issues were
fully and completely refuted by the
senator, whose perfect diction and
chaste English were delight to hear.
He began by asking the governor
if he would abide by the result of the
coming primary, to which the gov
ernor retorted with similar inquiry
as to Fletcher's intention.
The latter promptly declared that
he would certainly abide by the re-
suit, whereupon the governor stated
that he would also stand by the re-
suit, adding, unless they try to rob
him, like Knott did.
With respect to Camp Wheeler, the
senator exhibited and read documents
showing that Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the telegram from Cats and
his cabinet at the senator's personal
and insistent solicitation Gen. Gorgas,
surgeon-general of the army, went to
Camp Wheeler to make an examina-
ton and take charge of the situation
there. He also showed that he him
self went in person to Camp Wheeler,
and in company with Gen. A. II.
Blanding went all over the camp for
the purpose of laying the facts before
the war department.
Camp Wheeler Case
The senator declared that although
he claimed that he was responsible
for the relief at Camp Wheeler, and
that he had sent the surgeon general
CT the army there, who could do more
in an hour than forty governors
could do in forty years, he would be
ashamed to claim votes for any service
